A couple of years ago, i was doing it almost everyday. I hate to feel unhappy and hopeless because of losing someone so special.It drives me crazy and paranoid. And i cant accept what is reality. I get drunk almost everyday after work because i wanted to sleep instead of crying.
Its been a hard times for me. I was thought i cant get through it. But then, finally i had to accept it. No matter how i tried to escape the feelings of loneliness and my heartaches but then i need to face and stand for it.
I sacrificed ALOT and tried to let go the pain day by day. And accept no matter how it hurts me. Lately, i have some depression again. Maybe its because i have too much expectation from someone but then he fails me. I was get drunk again after a year. But then i realized that getting drunk is not a solution. But accepting what is real will set me free from having a depression.
So, that is what i did again. And now, i am fine after 1 day. Here i am again posting and joining mylot for almost a week that i wasnt able to join here because of depression.
And you???did you ever get drunk too because of depression???Share your thought and experienced...I would love to read it...

i don't get drunk to deal with depression, but i do have drinks to deal with it. i don't allow myself to get drunk, buti do often get buzzed. i just want to get to the point where i am feeling good...not where i am acting like an idiot.

I have gotten drunk over depression also. I have a very hard time dealing with life and all of the twists and truns it throws to me every day. I know exactly where you are coming from. I get so tired of not being able to enjoy life that I just wish it would all end for me soon. My life is total misery and it will never change no matter what I do.

Yes several times. I was going through a bad patch with my boyfriend at the time and because I was also working part-time at a bar, I would stay after hours with the bar owners and drink away till early hours in the morning. I think that lasted for about 6 months, drinking from Friday evenings through to Sunday afternoon (after darts competition). Until I left him, things started to get better and I also quit my part-time job and started to live life again LOL The things we do!

getting drunk when depression strikes ! what for ? can you find a lasting solution to your depression if you get yourself unconscious. Maybe things would be softened for a couple of hours. When you are awake after the drunken mood, problems keep coming up and depression strikes with full vigor.
