Is It Bad to Use Weed and Alcohol for Stress?

Question by Sakura Shaunessy: Is it bad to use weed and alcohol for stress?
I’m only 16 and I feel like I’m already going down the wrong path, and I know it.

I’m VERY SENSITIVE to stress. Yes, stress is needed but I have never been taught how to deal with it in “positive” ways.

I smoke weed. Not like every weekend kinda thing. Once a month. And it feels like the best time of my life.
There’s no stress. I feel awesome, fine, like nothing could go wrong.

I drink too. I wish I could just drink every stress and problem away. But I can’t. I know it, I rarely drink, but when I do, I want to just drink and drink and never stop.

Before I started weed and drinking, I had problems with being out of breath, problems with my heart, and I was ALWAYS tired.

I have depression and bi polar disorder and severe anxiety.
I wish I could cope with stress but I can’t.
In school, I can’t cope with the stress and anxiety.
I don’t do my work, I live a “carefree” lifestyle.

But, my big question,
Is it bad to use weed and alcohol for stress?
I mean I’ve tried meditating, exercise, etc. NOTHING HAS HELPED. (exercise made it worse since I have a bad heart and shitty lungs. BEFORE the weed and AFTER the weed. its not made a “big difference”.)
