    Why do you feel that way, because of taking the medicine during the day?

    Drinking is always a guilty  feeling. And i know valium is bad. I just dont know what to do anymore.

    Well, maybe the valium during the day can just be short term. Have you thought about cutting out Covid news for now?

    are you abusing either?

    aside from the guilt, are you getting some relief?

    I will so that if possible.  Its everywhere  here  school  gates are so awful for me. Its my job to take rosie in the a.m as my partner takes her  teen  son by car to college. 
    I always beat  myself  up so much.

    Im not abusing  either atm. I rarely take half a valium.  And drink  i have days of over doing it then days if one drink.  So I guess  alcohol  is a problem  as far as go to.

    Also im being  very honest  and vulnerable  on here i just suddenly  thought how many people see this and i feel vulnerable  and embarrassed.  Im too open sometimes.  I just  write here not thinking who is reading.  
    But i am me and i am honesty  personified

    feelings as real as they are,  arent facts. they WILL pass if we let them. that's a judgement you are placing on yourself.

    some of what I've read from you gives me the impression you are punishing yourself for something. as if you believe you aren't worthy of peace. I've had my time in that. Terrible place to be.

    so if my impression is close to the truth, I ask why AREN'T you worthy of peace. Why not you? Same as anyone else?

    not that this is a cure all but dammit man, give yourself a fucking break once in a while.

    show yourself the same care and kindness you readily offer the folks here.

    I think you should go easy on yourself. This is new territory and you're just starting out. You need time to learn how to navigate and cope. 
    I think you will keep trying to find what works for you, and that is all anyone can ask for. I just hope you will give yourself some time and some room to make mistakes.
