Yea I'm worried about my using of substances to cope . Coffee . Cigarettes and occasionally alcohol are the main ones. It's messing with my entire sleep wake cycle and bodily functions . + i cannot express enough how i believe the medication is fuelling everything and egging it on . They're all tied into one another in other words.

I've rang the sane helpline and enquired about cancelling my membership . What's all your THOUGHTS about this?..
I'm thinking about canceling my membership because the forums are getting me nowhere and i think they've taken me as far as i can go. Plus it's all rather stressful at times.

I agree with what @MDT and @TAB wrote.
It helped prevent me from "completing" ...
