Hi - good question.
I suffer with depression and in my case it manifests itself mentally and physically. It makes working very hard and for a while I drank through this - effectively to begin with but (as with all of us!) less effectively as time went on. And of course depression got worse
I’m struggling at the minute as I can’t ‘self-care’ as my partner is not particularly supportive and sees me earning (therefore working full time) as my main contribution to the family. We’ve argued about it for a long time and in the end I’ve given in to keep the peace, but it is hard for me to work. It worries me that it will make my sobriety harder (harder I say, NOT impossible, as I won’t drink come what may).
Hey ho - if i could ‘just be’ sober for a bit it would be manageable. But I’ve got to get my work head on for tomorrow and I’m dreading it
Simple creatures aren’t we?
