Good morning,
I wanted to start by letting you know that you might want to change your photo and / or user name. I can tell a lot about identifying you as it is.
As you can see from my signature, my son has a couple of mental health issues. The most frustrating thing for me is that he won't get help. Or, be consistent about it. When he's on his medications, he's a different person. Unfortunately, something always compels him to stop taking them: laziness, denial, mental illness!
I wish I had advice for you. I can only tell you that you are not alone. Not getting help is a sad symptom of mental illness.
Sadly, the drinking will make the problem worse but is also not surprising to self medicate.
Good luck. I'll be reading the responses for ideas and hope.
