Kim, I've used that term a lot - referring to alcohol and street drugs - like Anne-Marie said - but also with Rx meds -- thinking if one is good, more is better - etc..... I would NOT recommend it. creates more problems. dangerous. guilt. addiction. lot's of things. If you're having a tough time right now, can you talk about what's going on? Do you want to talk about what's going on?

Self medication usually refers to people using alcohol or street drugs to cope with their anxiety or depression. This may helps people feel better in the
short-term but just leads to more problems in the long-term.
