Depressed by alcohol

In the last two weeks our therapists have answered 211 queries related to mental health.

I think I am addicted to alcohol. I drink every day and that too multiple times. Initially I just got sad once I drunk but now I'm sad and depressed all the time. There's also the added guilt of having such a habit. My boyfriend broke up with me because of this too. I don't even know what will happen if my parents find out. If I could stop drinking I would but it's not easy at all for me.

It's true that quitting an addiction is not easy but if you want to lead a happy and healthy life, you'll have to do it. Our parents might be hard on us sometimes but they have our best interests in mind. Tell your parents about your issue and then ask them to keep you accountable for not drinking. Your depression will fade away as well.

Hello, You can't quit alcohol in a day but if you are consistent with your efforts, it will happen. Throw away all alcohol from your house so that you can't access any even if you want to. Get a new healthy habit that keeps your mind occupied and helps you not think about drinking.
