I would say so yes, definately honey. See a Doctor or a counsellor, but see and talk to someone about it.
How do you afford it?

I concur :frown:

Never be afraid to admit that you have a problem - a counsellor or your doctor is there to help, not to laugh at you.

I've found myself trying to resist the urge to get drunk every weeknight for the last few weeks. It's starting to get intolerable and I'm worried that I'll eventually give in, if things get any sh*ttier. Should I see someone about this?


Why, what's wrong? What is so sh**ty?
Sometimes venting feelings on forums can help, but it can also make you feel lonely...

You may need someone to actually talk to.
Yes!!! See some one!!

i'm sorry u feel that way. Many years ago i couldn't understand why people hit the bottle or worse. Unfortunately, i do and i sympathise. But listen up -

there are two things that u can do with depression

(1) Do not allow this wave of sadness and emptiness to overwhelm u and bury u.

Use ur sadness and frustration and channel it into making u work harder so that u can get urself out of the unfortunate position which u find urself in. If u do not like ur present, then start making changes so that ur future is so much better.

so Go to the gym. Study hard. Smile and make a damn effort to get through this. It will make u a stronger person.

(2) seek help. not sure if that is worthwhile as i've only ever executed act (1) when i'm down.
To be honest, people who you see will some times piss you off. I found this when I was low. Actually, they made me ten and twelve times worse. Good luck to you. The gym is fantastic, but it depends how far on you are. Last year, I could be fit and like my figure improvement, but still be ulitmately peeved off. Some times nothing helps, other than, time.
maybe think of other ways to deal or fix whatever problems you are having in other areas of your life?

I would reccomend you go and talk to your G.P about this. Things can only get better from here.
I have read a few articles recently which discussed about relationships between depression and alcohol abuse - and it can turn out quite badly if the drinking gets heavier.

Go see a GP for safety. :smile:
