Alcohol and mental health

It might surprise you to know that alcohol is a depressant and can have a negative impact on your mental health. So reducing the amount you drink can improve your overall mental health. A good way to cut down is to have more drink-free days every week.

I’ve been sober a little over a yr. And I honestly haven’t been craving booze, I know the shitty feeling it’s gonna give me. But nothing has really gotten better since I got sober, I’m actually more depressed, isolated, nervous than ever, this last yr has just been horrible, I’ve stayed sober, but I’ve even debated suicid a few times this last yr. And it’s not like I was out socializing or anything before, my party days are back in my 20s I’m 36 now. Idk what to do. Is this “dry drunk” I don’t want to be that. I want to go out and make friends, and do social stuff soooo fucking bad. But it’s like I’m glued to isolation. I’m not afraid of people. It’s more like I don’t even know how to act. It’s like being from America and being dropped off in middle of Mexico City and can’t speak English, sorta. And I’m just aimless. I need a free therapist honestly lol.

So many methods to give it up and get back that valuable sense of feeling alive. Countless solutions are out there, and plenty of people have benefited from them. Maybe try go'ogling something such as Steffon Barkload's homepagw, or whatever else that fits you personally.
