The drink needs a drink. Not you.

Bad things can only be made 100 times worst by drinking.

What's going on?

What's happening Stewy? what has happened?

No one "Needs" a drink. Do you understand the consequences? By choosing to drink you are not only letting yourself down, but your daughter and everyone else around you. You are also choosing the shame, regret, hangover and all the rest that will come soon after.

Whatever the problem is drinking is not the solution, it will make everything worse. Can you call a national or local depression hotline?

I feel you guys. We gotta stay tough though. As said above, nothing will get better and some things will surely get a lot worse.

Stewy, as has been said, you don't need the drink, the drink wants a drink! It will pass! Breathe! Breathe through the anxiety

Love from Lenina

Drinking won't help with the depression Stewy. Never does. Never will.

((((Stewy)))) this is nothing that drinking will help. the alcohol increases the depressions and aggravates the anxiety. breathe, my love, breathe.

In through the nose, slowly to the count of four....hold for the slow count of four.....exhale slowly through the mouth to the count of eight.....di it a few times. It will help relax and center you.

XXOO love to you from Lee

This will only get worse with drinking! Don't do it.

Do you have anyone you can call and discuss this with?

I went through the same thing and it was rough, but coming out the other side is so much better. You can get through this!

You're not letting anyone down by being depressed my friend, show your strength by getting through it. Feeling down is nothing to be ashamed of it's how you react to the feelings that are important.

You'll feel better soon, hold on

Drinking only tends to aggravate and worsen depression and anxiety. Please don't drink, Stewy.

We care about you, Stewy.

Stewy....I'm sorry I don't know your story but are you seeing someone about the depression or are you on ADs at all? It sounds like things are at a critical point and I would strongly suggest you see a dr about this. And if you have, sounds like it might be time for another appointment to tweak some things.
Regardless of the depression, You still have the choice whether you drink or not.
Please choose wisely, stewy. Drinking is going to make you feel even worse than you do right now and you won't like yourself any better I promise. Sending strength and support your way.

You arent letting anyone down due to your depression any more than you would if you had the flu or a broken leg. It is a treatable, curable ailment.

Why not take a look at some concrete actions you could take today to help. You could call the hospital or your therapist, they all have emergency numbers. You could call AA or go to a meeting...part of your struggles are with addiction. You can grab your local phone book and look up depression or other mental health hotlines, just about every phone book has them in the front. Or Google national one if they are not. You could call a local relative or close friend. The ER is even an option as a last resort.

The only thing you could do that will make everhing worse is drink. Please don't make that choice.

Please don't take that drink; it will not improve anything.
