Thanks... really. Thank you. That's hard for me to say.
Yes, EVERYONE knows. Everyone. I'm not going to see my shrink yet... but I did contact my family physician, and if I don't show up at his office this week, he will come looking for me (I live in a small town... doctors around these parts will do that kind of thing).
I will keep AA in mind. That thought is a little too overwhelming for me to consider at this juncture... it isn't the alcohol per se... it is the binging I am more concerned about... the impulse for self-destruction. THAT is serious. I believe it is linked to the depression... but I'm gong to let someone ELSE make that call and stop self-diagnosing. If he says go to the shrink, I'm going back.
