I'll try not to worry about it for the next week. Last time I drank on a Tuesday and was very depressed until the next Thursday, when I woke up feeling still depressed, but as I drove to work, I thought, hey I'm actually enjoying my music, thinking productively, ... that night I even went to the gym. So in theory I will be depressed until this weekend, at least if the pattern holds. What I don't understand is WHY do I get this deep depression from overdoing alcohol? What triggers it? Sometimes I can drink -- not to excess, but get drunk -- and it doesn't make me so depressed. But when I drink so much I black out and/or pass out, can't remember the night, I get /extremely/ depressed, worried, feel zombified for a week or more afterward.

Just praying I'll make it through this period -- and then I'll do what I can to never drink again. (Going to start AA meetings, and the lithium.)

The other irony is no matter how bad I seem to feel NOW, I can tell you if I do nothing about it I'll be RIGHT BACK WHERE I STARTED in a month. It's like going to hell -- no joke -- and then forgetting the experience completely within a couple of weeks ... and doing the same, exact thing that made you suffer so much the last time!
