You seem like you are making a lot of progress. You are realizing that alcohol is considered a depressant b/c it brings people down. I do think that depressive episodes have periods of recovery that have to be waded through....that's when I just let go and sleep as much as I want and can. But however long your episode is set to last naturally....it will most surely double in longevity due to the heavy drinking.

I personally think it would probably be a really good thing if you decide to go into the hospital for a few days. I think they might can help build onto the work you have already begun for yourself and help you figure out the right path for you.

yes....please do hang in there.
You are doing super great amidst all the caios of depression.
You are special and you are worth fighting for so don't give up.
I care about you and so do others here.
Prayers for you...

And lots of hugs too
