I completely hear you i know the world tells us that alcohol makes depression worse but i just don’t think i can survive anymore without an escape, have you had any luck with alternatives?
I do believe it makes it worst sometimes (atleast the next day). But it’s the only thing that (so far from what I’ve found) changes my thought process… Let’s me out of this world even if for a few hours.
Always been my biggest vice… but been doing ok with it lately…but I am also not in the exact frame of mind appropriate for that weakness anyway so that’s probably why. It has to be a certain level of depression not just any depression for me to need it as a crutch.
Sorry to hear that…. problem with alcohol is the problems are there still the next day… only you have to deal with them ALONG with a headache and feeling dehydrated and sick. 😉
Totally understand. I was always a bit of a binge drinker before, but a recent berevament just made me take to it like a duck to water. Doesn’t get me away from my mind for long though. Dunno if it does any good with the suicide plans though, If Im left stone cold sober and depressed I think I’d be more likely to go for it.
Funny you say that woody cause most people drink alcohol to work up the courage to take their own life with its effect of lowering inhibitions and all. I know you want out badly cause I’ve read your posts. I for one am glad you are still here with us though cause I like you and enjoy your input… and your honesty.

I understand completely. I only seem to need it when I’m at my worst. Unfortunately things keep getting worse and I think the end is coming, sigh.

I hear ya, I know it doesn’t make anything better, but for a small moment, it gives me a small escape, distraction, and relief from what is going on.
