i get it.
I'm suffering with a bout of mild depression at the moment.
comes on every few months i guess....had a nice few days with pals fishing.
and next day....wham.
it a medical condition with me........for which i made the decision not to medicate ...just me.
with me it has nothing to do with alcoholism.......i dont need to get depressed to get smashed.
i do stuff that helps ......excercise........pray/meditate..
the main thing i try to keep in the forefront of my mind is....it has an ending and it wont last forever.
