I don't understand depression or those things too much, but some good advice from the others on perhaps seeing a doctor.

Another thing you might try is picking up a new hobby or activity that doesn't cost much money. I've started playing guitar again since I quit drinking, and i've found free online lessons and got some very inexpensive new equipment to help me along the way. Not suggesting you rush out and buy a guitar, but perhaps find something fun that you can do that doesn't cost a lot and takes your mind off the doldrums of daily life. Maybe a garden? A book club? Volunteering at some local group?

Anyway, hope you find something...and most importantly remember you are doing GREAT work by being sober!
Norma, the name of my guitar, is collecting dust in the corner. My yoga mat has had little use. I was once a runner until this back issue reared its ugly face. So, yes I most likely need to incorporate something other than full time school and work into my life.
This sadness, anxious, angry, doom thing is not appropriate. Then it really is pointless to continue. I mean life is not meant to be lived in a constant struggle.
Half full glass? Where are you?

Thank you all.
