I just wanted to weigh in and dispense a HUG
. I clearly know depression and the toll it takes. Being with people, working in a therapeutic setting, taking proper meds with appropriate liquids, and receiving hugs and care from us here all help.
Alcohol is commonly known as a depressant, and the notion of taking it at all when one is experiencing depression just sets up a compounding of the effect.
Here is another hug
from one who cares.
