cuteblondegurl Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I was feeling like that a few months ago due to a lot of personal issues and work related crap. Would just breakdown and cry at night and resort to having a few drinks just to forget my problems temporarily. You need to determine what all the issues are that are weighing on you. You mentioned being surrounded by negative energy. Well, you need to get rid of that negative energy. Otherwise you will continue to be unhappy. Surround yourself with family and friends that are loving, and supportive Link to post Share on other sites
oppath Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 First, cut down on the drinking. I'm not going to preach and tell you don't drink at all, but it is a depressant. What happens with alcoholics is it does temporarily relieve the anxiety and problems, but the depressive affects usually hit a day or two later, so they actively seek out opportunities to drink so they don't have to face those feelings. It is a physical and mental addiction. I am in no way saying you are an alcoholic, but try to limit your drinking to the weekends, and limit your drinks. It sounds like you are entering a depression, though I certainly can't diagnose it as clinical or the more mild but chronic dysthmia. I am clinical; after a night of heavy drinking, even out with friends, the depressive effects of the alcohol hurt me for a good two days. For this reason I've cut out all alcohol during the week unless I'm on a date or there is some special work social function. It has helped. As for negative energy, cut out what you can, especially if it is people. People who make you feel bad, or you feel don't respect or like you...it's not worth your energy trying to gain their approval. I'd suggest describing your symptoms to a doctor, and perhaps sharing more with us the stresses in your life. Perhaps therapy would be good for you. I personally feel everyone should receive cognitive behavioral therapy in their early 20's so they learn how to challenge irrational thoughts. Link to post Share on other sites
Author NineGirl Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 I totally agree and understand what you both say..I think the reason I am feeling so depressed is because one of my friends cousins died 3 weeks ago from a terrible car crash..he was 18 and just starting out everything with his life..I just feel that it is so unfair because this is the 4th young person that has died that way that i know ..I guess im just feeling as though life cheats you a bit, so whats the point? ugh i dont know..Ive been surrounding myself with postive things and people so hopefully ill get over this phase..IF its just a phase!
