Hey all, looking for some input please.
So, recently when I drink it's made me feel really lousy depression wise...even when I haven't been feeling too bad that day...
Like today...depression wise it wasn't a bad day... And I didn't drink all that much...three chick beers at 5% per unit...and I feel SO lousy...
Reason I'm asking is that, while I know alcohol is a depressant, it didn't usually affect me that way...it was fun to get a bit tipsy (or plastered for that matter).
Was just wondering if anyone has noticed anything similar.
Thanks all.
I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I'm out of control, and at times hard to handle, but if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

but before i realized that...i always thought that drinking helped me. it started out as being fun. then it became a way to forget. and then it became a way just to get through the day.
but mixing alcohol with depression even if you havent felt depressed that day can have really negative results.
and alcohol always made a bad situation even worse for me.
please take care of you.

I do my worst cuts when I get to drunk. The thing is to find your level and combine with water. I know it sounds lame, but I have had several stiches to prove it. Be careful. *hug*
I don't think I can offer any "great advice" but I can tell you about my own experience, maybe that helps...
I'm not a regular drinker. I drink every couple of months, but if I do it, I do it right. Sometimes, I feel great and at other times, drinking makes me feel like s***. It has nothing to do with what I drink or how much because I know my limits and don't drink more than I can handle.
It's just... for me, I guess it's the guilt. I feel guilty for drinking even when I keep within my limits and that is what f***s the mood up.
All advice I can give is: Try not to cut when you're drunk because you don't have proper control over your body anymore and it might end up much worse than you thought it would.
Draw back in silence to dwell in anxiety

Thanks all.
Yeah, I've got some good scars from cutting while intoxicated (I'm not a stitches person, never go in).
Thanks for sharing, I really appreciate your input.

I don't know if you are taking anything for depression, but I know that since I started my meds, I simply cannot drink. I had to give up alcohol completely because even one drink would leave me kind of hungover and moody the next day.
