I have been depressed for so long and people around me expect to be a super they expect a lot from me and its too much for me .I have been through a lot physically and emotional abuse and it triggered child abuse,loss of a child and breaking up with my bestfriend in all this experience i never had the support i always told myself am strong am going to be fine .I have never been fine its worse and worse everytime because the only way i can cope is when am abusing alcohol i push people away because am always drunk no one takes me serious and no one ever asks me how i am I always feel alone

Alcohol is a depressant? Have you thought about not drinking for awhile?

You should seek some professional help about your depression. I feel a lot of people turn to drugs, I did to at one point. But there just a distraction and they are a deadly one.

How was your day today?

I just wanted to agree with Depressed1996. Alcohol and drugs only make anxiety and depression much worse.. Please consider visiting your Doctor to explain how you feel and that you are finding you must turn to alcohol. They will be able to offer you some support, like psychological therapies -cbt- and there may be a local group that you could attend which you could also ask your Doctor about..Suffering with depression means we must do everything positive and healthy that we can do, to be as well as we can be. Get all the support available, so you have help with this. xx
