Is there a word or term for somebody who deals

[kayla85b]

w/depression by oding on meds not with the intention of death? Ever since I was a teenager I've used that as a form of self injury. Its like I think popping pills will make everything better. I'll get sick, I pass out, if I get caught then I'll get taken to the hospital and then not have to deal w/anything from the outside. I know-I'm messed up. When I get to that point its cause I feel like nobody is listening to me and hearing that I'm in pain. They don't even care. Does anybody know if there's a term for this or also experience this. I want to stop dealing that way, but I never seem to learn I guess. And you would think I would after what I've been through due to that behavior.

Its just depression and addiction pretty much. You should find a way to express yourself without having to take all those meds. Whether you are trying or not trying to kill yourself at this very moment. It will eventually lead to it in the long run and later on in life when everything is going better for you, you won't have as long in the time as you would want.
