Hi nice to meet you. This site is international so how may be help you?

I am so tired, depressed, I sleep all day and night. Then to escape depression, I have to drink alcohol and listen to rock music. Life sucks for me. Jesus, help me!

Sorry to hear this. I have had depression for years. In my experience drinking alcohol every day when I did made me more depressed and more suicidal thoughts. Life is not peachy now. But I now drink less of a week. I sometimes go to the gym, sometimes it helps. I walk. I'm trying to read more. Some I have read is The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, who moved my cheese, the black dog (depression) etc and books about people who have improved their circumstances like Katie Piper who had acid thrown in her face.

Do you work or do voluntary work?

Have you seen a doctor, counsellor or got meds?

Hope I help even a bit.

Rock on! ok, so I drink alcolhol just when I need to: about two or three times a week, trying to keep it around 7 or 8 max. I like to walk a few times a week. Are you from Britian? I work self-employed. Yes, I have meds and see a doctor. Thank you. Yes, you have helped a bit.
