Hi Teek!! i hope you are feeling better today!!
i have been sober 6 month's, and although i don't remember, my brother told me the last time i drank, that by the end of the night i was saying what a drag life is, and that i wanted to die!! he was quite worried, and wanted to take me to the crisis center here in philly, luckily i slept it off, but i was depressed and embarrased for 3 days!! i, like you, have been depressed for quite some time, [i also have ocd] and i think when we are drinking heavily, all the negativity comes out, and we say extreme things we don't really mean, but in a sense it sums up our frustration with our lives!! i am not suicidal, but i have said those very words, like you, on more than one occasion. i just think alcohol magnifies everything at times!! i truly hope you have a good session with your dr., and that you find something that helps you with your depression. i'm like you also, everyone i know thinks i am happy go-lucky, but i have alot of inner turmoil!! good luck...john
