Among nurses, substance usage rates vary anywhere between 10% (Dunn, 2005) and 20% (Bennett & O'Donovan, 2001) with the most common drug of abuse being alcohol. However, one fact that remains constant is that nurses who are more exposed to the emergency departments and intensive care units have much higher rates of alcohol abuse (Dunn, 2005). The main cause of this increased rate of abuse could be due, in part, to the increased exposure to patient death and suffering. These nurses’ exposure encompass all four categories of stressful work environments that directly contribute to increased rates of depression, namely dangerous working conditions, interpersonal conflict, heavy workload, and unfair treatment (Netterstrøm et al., 2008).

“All teenagers feel that way.” “You’re just over exaggerating your sadness.” “Stop being such a drama queen.” Seventh grade is when the sadness started. A month passed. Two. Eventually, feeling “down” became the new normal. Horrible thoughts of dying and self mutilation flooded my brain on a constant basis. But everyone feels that way... or so I was told. My friendships crashed and burned because I lost motivation to work on them. I was an outsider at school, with my friends, with my family, and even with myself.

I realized how real depression is and that something needed to change. I was mentally ill.…
