So I saw a doctor today and she said that depression is very common right now because many of the things people use to cope with their problems have been cancelled or simply not possible.
Anyway, she agreed I should quit drinking for awhile and prescribed me a mild anti-depressant and something to help me sleep. I've got another appointment to see her in 6 weeks. If things don't improve we'll try something else.
I haven't had a drop of alcohol or a cigarette in over 3 years. my Dr said for years i was self medicating with the beer. I can only say that i feel much better than I did and have dealt with some pretty severe issues without much problem. I'm staying the course for now and will continue to take his advice. Good luck and keep us posted
