> maybe im trying to escape from my probs again. but i really dont know what they are right now, things are generally ok. I just wanted to get back to "normal" and back to my old life again which involved going out and getting wrecked! it just seems to make everything seem so much better when im drunk and i like that feeling. i think i can keep it under control at the mo, i dont want to end up in the state i was before. simple fact is that i just like drinking, is that such a bad thing?
> Emma.Not at all IMHO, as long as it's under control. Before, and during most of my depression I've got battered every weekend. My attitude was that I felt shit all the time anyway so what difference does a hangover make? I sooooo know what you mean about standing in a smoky boozer/busy bar/loud club with a pint of chilled stella in your hand, it makes you feel "you" again.
I have to admit though, I am nearly always more depressed/anxious for a couple of days after drinking. Recently I've had some success on zyban&reboxetine and hadn't drunk for 3 months until last Sunday. I got wasted and felt very poo on Monday and Tuesday. Last time I do that for a while. I even went clubbing on Saturday without drinking and managed to largely be ok which is a first for me. Bit weird though, I can't dance when sober. Obviously, when pissed I'm a fantastic dancer [and know kung fu] and all the girls fancy me ;o)
Ta ra,
pete.
