Having negative thoughts

Feeling depressed today and having bad thoughts. I won’t do anything to harm myself, but I need to figure out how to turn this feeling and bad thoughts around.

I went out with friends last night and drank more than I wanted to. Woke up today and I’m just so upset with myself.

Sorry that you are feeling a bit low. Well, alcohol is depressant. I'll suggest make yourself well hydrated and do intense workout. I'm also trying to keep myself from alcohol. Btw it's been 1 and half month for me without alcohol. Have a blessed life.

Dont be down on yourself, you learned a lesson hopefully.

Hi. Don't be too hard on yourself. We all do things we regret at times.

Please stay away from alcohol altogether. Anything that affects the mind is a bad idea when you are already struggling. It's a cocktail for anxiety and depression. No pun intended.

I would be happy to never drink again - there’s literally nothing good that comes from it. I drink once every week or two only when I’m around friends. I think I might need a sponsor or someone I can reach out to when I’m around my friends to remind me why I shouldn’t drink.

You have learned hard lessons about your relationship with alcohol and you know that when you drink you have regrets and fall into depression. Alcohol is a neurological drug, and can be very dangerous if you continue to use it. You recognize your problems and should strongly consider getting professional help. Organizations can assist such as those who utilize the twelve step program and others. My hope and prayer for you is that you get effective treatment and free yourself from the harmful results of using alcohol and find peace and joy in your life.
