M y friends are telling me I need to slow down with my one night stands,clubbing,drinking,etc.etc. Ever since My Dad died last month, I have been taking it on other things. I only have 2 college classes,both in the afternoon,around 7:00 afterwards I usually go out. So usually I sleep all day ( until around 5:00 or 6:00) and at night I drink,party and eat.In the morning I usually throw up ( from the alcohol),pop my depression pills, and my sleeping pills ( I have insomnia).But, my body looks perfectly fine,its just emotionally and physically I dont feel good at all.What should I do???

I think just by you asking this question means that you know you need to stop. There are 3 things that usually cause people with this kind of addiction to change. 1.Hitting Rock Bottom 2.Prison 3.Death Let's just hope the first is what causes you to change. Trust me from experience, you will not find happiness from these things no matter how hard you try. You will just temporarily forget about your problems. When you wake up the problems will still always be there. It's time to move on. Face your problems head on and deal with them. Soon the mountains will seem to look more like molehills. If you don't all you have left are options 2&3. You choose!!! Quit chasing this false sense of happiness.

First of all. Not shooting for the best answer. I don't know you, but I care. When I was 18, my ex boyfriend committed suicide. I did the same thing. I never dealt with the grief because of that. You need to decide how you want to be when you get older. i'm guessing you don't want to be a drunk or an addict. when you do sober up, the pain will still be there. sleeping is another way of avoiding the pain. i'm telling you...you could end up really messing up your life if this doesn't stop. i made some really bad decisions..your looks will probably change for the worse too. give it some time hon. your friends telling you to stop probably just makes you feel more alone...and makes you feel like you need to do all this stuff even more. if they are really your friends, maybe you should try to be open and honest...let them help you.

Wot do you think you should do???? Unless you want to die young with a good looking corpse, I suggest you face your demons and seek out the help that is around every corner waiting for you !!! You need to either see a Doctor and talk to him/her about your issues or start going to some type of group therapy so that you can deal with the enormous grief in your life. It is unbearably painful to lose your father at such a young age, I lost my father when I was in my 20's too. I also did exactly what you have been doing. Know wot?? When you stop doing it....... the pain is still there but at least you can now think clearly. It does get better with time. The grief does eventually does fade. You won't ever be without him though cos it's just his physical body that has passed. In spirit he will always be right in your heart with you. You need to find an actual person that you can relate to easily and get the counselling that will do you so much good. Even if counselling is just simply talking, talking, talking, talking. You just can't internalise this anymore, you know already though cos you've already made the first step. CONGRATULATIONS. Please be nice to yourself, do special stuff you like doing that's healing 4 you like have a massage, spa, sauna, facial ???? ................. :0)
PEACE

Well its really up to you .. I partied hard when i was younger for many years and well honestly there was a time where i had to give it up. I was losing more of my life than gainning. I also have insomia now pretty sure due to the parting and drinking. You might want to look into it like go to the doc. I was depressed for many years and ya for that you might want to try meditation. Its a great way to relax the body and take the negative energy that your body is producing and push it away and allow the positive energy enter your body. I been sober now for 4 years no drugs drinking or anything and i feel great .. My body feels so much better. My mind doesnt feel so foggy now.
So honestly it comes down to what you really want. Just remember you got many years ahead of you and try to think about what you want in the future. Like 20 years from now.
Good luck and just remember if you ever need help go to your family and friends. They will be there for you no matter what.. Mine sure was and it helped me ..
Take care !!!

You are SERIOUSLY DEPRESSED and you may need to get a 'medication change' ... and you should also try to get onto a 'good circadian schedule' even if that means you must 'sit up' all night for two nights and NOT SLEEP at all during the day until your body 'falls asleep' at around 10-11 at night more 'naturally' ... and you MUST stop all 'drinking alcohol' because that with 'pills for depression' is going to 'mess you up more' ... your Dad died, and you are 'grieving' and all of this 'party hardy' stuff you are doing is to distract yourself from those feelings of grief, but it's all 'the wrong kind of distraction.' If necessary, you should have a 'good friend' stay with you and 'talk to you' through the 'worst' of your 'withdrawal' from this 'bad behavior' ... you do not need to do this, and you are 'doing it' to yourself because you feel 'guilty' that your Dad died and you are still alive. You are NOT GUILTY of his death but you need to find someone (preferably a good 'counselor') to talk to about ALL of your 'feelings' ... some may see 'inappropriate' but actually after a parent dies there are no inappropriate feelings.

Sucks about your dad. Condolences.
You only live once. Just do it wisely, or more wisely than you have been. You do what you've gotta do to get you through. Lay off the pills and drink lots more water so you don't end up looking like a hag 10 years from now. Otherwise, party on.

I think you should talk to your doctor about this. You may not be feeling any reprecusions of it now, but you eventualy will. And the habbits (drinking etc.) are not healthy and could end very badly. Also, you can easily get addicted to sleeping pills and that combined with alcohol could be dangerous. It sounds like you have some emotional issues you need to deal with...try talking to someone about all this because it could get very bad very quickily.
Good luck and sorry about your dad.

oh you poor, poor dear...I know the pain you must be feeling. I lost my Mother not to long ago. Honestly, I think you know the answer to your question. You don't need anyone to tell you what to do. The guidance that you looking for will only come from reflections of what your Father has said time and time again. It may be confusing now, but that's because your overwhelmed with hurt. But as that subsides, you will remember his voice and what he said.

You should stop all of this stuff you are doing and come to grips with reality. Whatever has happened; the things you are doing will not help you
; on the contrary they will eventually destroy you. Turn to GOD. Ask HIM to see you through this very trying time. And remember what was; was. What is; is. What will be; will be. O.K?

yes. you should definatley stop partying so hard. someday you might regret it. and im the one that usually says GO AHEAD TAKE THE CHANCE.
but i think you need to get involved in something worthwhile. maybe take more classes. volunteer and etc. just have balance in your life. i think you are just trying to forget the fact that your dad died (im srry about that) so you are partying as hard as you can to have fun and not the pain. i htink you need to deal with the pain and let it out.
