I don't know what health effects going on a bender would have as I am only a couple months recovered from Coronavirus. I turn 44 next week so I am a little depressed about my life situation because it will not be improving until the pandemic is over. Another year of unemployment, isolation, and boredom.

just watching CNN right now and they are talking about how a study shows 1in 3 Americans are suffering anxiety or depression. I'm am suffering from both myself.
