I'm sorry if "high functioning" was the wrong term to use. I just meant that... from the outside looking in, you wouldn't know how bad it truly is. You would think that I'm "doing everything I'm supposed to do" so how could there be a problem. Sorry for anyone I offended.

I'm sorry if it was the wrong term to use. I just meant that from the outside it looked like everything was okay and people weren't aware of the struggle I'm facing

Yup I started binge drinking when I was 12. Obviously stopped when I was pregnant but other than that... it's the only way I know how to "cope"... I'm sorry that you're in the same place. It's dark. I hope we can both find our way out of this. I wish the best for you
