Depression after stop drinking
Hello, I probably should introduce myself considering this is my first post. It's been about 2 months since I stopped drinking and they've probably been some of the toughest months I can remember (less said about my memory the better...)
I've had problems with depression for a long time, and since I stopped drinking I'm feeling much psychologically worse than I did before, but better physically since I stopped. I've had some nasty side effects on previous occasions anti-depressive medication and I'm reluctant to go down the route again.
Since I've stopped drinking I'm finding it really hard to do things which used to bring a lot of pleasure to my life, for example playing the guitar. Drinking used to act to remove a lot of the inhibitions which I build up, and I'm really struggling to finding a way to deal with things in sobriety.
If anyone has any recommendations or advice I would be most appreciative.
Thanks.
