Patient discussion about money.

Q. I have found an increase in drinking. I want to leave it as I lose a lot of money once I drink heavily. I think I am becoming an alcoholic. My drinking habit has changed and it’s increasing. I cannot stop drinking till I forget about myself. This strains me when I get involved in a fight with my friends due to over drinking. I have tried to withdraw but I cannot leave. I think I cannot leave it. Whenever I had tried to leave I have found an increase in drinking. I want to leave it as I lose a lot of money once I drink heavily. How can I get the help?

A. I know exactly what you are going through. It seems hopeless. You crave to drink to make it all feel better. But it ends up every time dragging you down the woilet even further than the last time. Its kind of an insanity. A love-hate relationship with drink. There no way to win against it by your self. You have become totally helpless against it. Sooner later its going to kill you and you know it. Its hurting you and you can't stop it.

That's the problem "YOU". You have exactly the same problem "I" have.
We think we can beat it and master it and perhaps be like those guys in the movies who can drink until the sun comes up and do it again and again, night after night. We don't want to go to heaven unless Jack Daniel's is there.

Get this! You are an alcoholic. I'm an alcoholic. Bloody drunks you and I.

Except there is "one thing" I know that you maybe don't know.

That one thing is that there is a power greater than ourselves that can save us

Q. Great depression after I lost huge amount of money in my business. I am very scared about injections... I am in a great depression after I lost huge amount of money in my business. Doctor described the symptoms of my severe depression. To be honest I am very scared about medicines and injections and would like to know whether depression can go away without seeking medical help? I like to concentrate on my new career soon.

A. Your fears are based on unknowns. You have to trust someone who can see you in the big picture. Often we patients just can't see how we really are, while the doctor is trained to recogize symptoms and make diagnoses. Lots of patients including myself are scared to take antidepressnats initially. It may take time to accept yourself as someone with a malady. Trust your doctor. Be patient. Don;t be too hard on yourself and let your doctor help you.

Q. Is spending money irresponsibely a sign of impending manic attack? My 32 years-old husband is known to have bi-polar disorder, but for the last ten years he has been on lithium treatment and had no attacks. Last week he bought some very expensive things to our home, without asking me (we usually discuss these things before we do anything). Does this mean he’s getting a new manic attack? Other than that purchase everything else is normal, and he appears and behaves as usual. I don’t want to take him for the psychiatrist just for spending some money.

A. Spending money is not a unique character of bi-polar people... Maybe it was a bit less calculated action. If he has manic attack, usually there'll be more things that would tell you about it.
