Yeah ns, that's funny
and scary...! LOL How many times I've tried to cheer myself up by getting drunk, night after night, and for some reason
not realised that it was making things worse! It's weird to think back on it - it's a terrible trap to fall into and such a hard one to get out of.
Unfortunately, polaris, depression and emotional disturbance are common symptoms of withdrawal, and
Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome. The good news is, if you were not depressed before withdrawal, it will pass. The other good news is, if you
were depressed before withdrawal, you are in a much better place for drugs and therapies to be effective now you are sober!
