I am struggling with bouts of major depression and go a lesser extent anxiety. Alcohol was how I dealt with these painful emotions. I wake up feeling like it's another day in hell. It lingers and sometimes it's debilitating and other times it's manageable. I hope everyone is finding the support they need. I have recently moved and that is stressful in itself.
