Depression and sobriety
I'm now about 2 1/2 months sober. Right after quitting, I was very depressed, but seemed to be coming out of it. However, in the last few days, I have gone back down, and deeper, to where I'm suddenly having some thoughts that scare me. I'm seeing a therapist, but have been resisting medication, as I'm worried it's just something else to get addicted to! I'd appreciate anyone sharing experiences with depression after quitting and how long it lasted. Part of me can look at it and see how the illness prevents me from taking the steps I need to, but even leaving the house at this point has become almost overwhelming.
