I hope you are feeling better with the anxiety and depression - I understand how quickly and overwhelming they can be, and you have my compassion. What's helped me is doing just what you are; I reach out and share what's going on with me. I ask for suggestions, and I take some sort of action. I've gone to a bunch of meetings this weekend in an attempt to connect with others, and have kept busy around the house. I find that boredom really can fuel my depression. Just going out and stringing the christmas lights helped my mood today, and by going out to spend time with a friend for an hour before the morning meeting. Are you still going to meetings? Maybe that will help with the loneliness?

I'm thinking of you - you can get through this without drinking.

Hugs.
