Hi Kristina, I also struggle with mental health issues. It usually helps to reach out to people and get honest and open about what’s going on. Another important thing for me when I’m in a depressive episode is to get out of myself, whether it’s going for a walk, going to a meeting, playing with my dogs, writing in my gratitude journal. This is hard, but you can get through it. If you need to talk more send me a message.

I too struggle with depression even without Alcohol but the Alcohol or other substances make it 10000x worse :weary:. That is a big motivating factor for me to not drink. It doesn’t help anything! Try to take it easy on yourself- eat healthy and drink tons of water, talk to trusted ppl, and try your best to get fresh air! These things do wonders but I totally get the feeling of just getting out of bed some days to be extremely difficult :frowning: Praying for your strength! :pray:t3::heart:

Many of us struggle with depression here. Sometimes the the single decision of recovery causes us to turn inward and to block out the rest of the world as if we are somehow inadequate to deal like the rest of society deals. But the flaw in that thinking is that the rest of society are necessarily the normal ones. I think from a biological sense keeping nasty compounds out of our body should be considered the norm. So be gentle with yourself. Most of us here understand and will keep you in their thoughts and prayers.

Kristina you can and will make it. Depreciation I think is what sent me over the edge. It took too long to figure out it isn't fixing it.
Prayers for you

My depression got so bad that I went and checked myself into a mental facility. Now I’m regulated and taking hydroxyzine. It has really helped me. I definitely recommend seeing someone.

Isn’t that for anxiety? I was given that as a substitute for klonipin once but it didn’t really work for me.

Yep. I started with Prozac. And once I got regulated, I started the hydroxyzine. It’s helps my anxiety and makes makes my depression non-existent.

That’s great! I only took it at night to try and sleep but I felt it made my heart feel like it was beating harder so that did not help!

Hi Kristina it's a day later are you feeling better? Hopefully you're getting enough sleep. And not just exhaustion sleep but real good restful sleep. Make it a priority to be good to you. You and a few others our priorities on my prayer list. Be well.
