    Like I've not been this low in years. I wouldn't say I'm suicidal but I'm like I'm beginning to just totally not care. I'm always in a bad mood unless I've been drinking but that's not the answer but I can't even stress how different my mood is after a few beers (but it always leads to excess).


    All the things that bother me feel worse ie low self esteem, inferiority complex, self-loathing, crush on straight best friend, general feeling of emptyness.

    I try to fight these feeling AMD I've tried being more positive. I've hot hobbies like yoga and working out and I do enjoy them but they don't exactly save me from these feelings.

    When I came home from work I was just so angry I can't even describe it. My mood lifted afyer a few drinks but its morning now and I'm in a bad mood already and I actually don't want to drink

    Obvious questions to save me from digging through your archive. Are you seeing anybody for this? Have you seen a therapist either in the past or currently?

    Maybe you need to process some 'stuff' that is causing the underlying anger? Is it something like life circumstances, or being closeted ... or internalised homophobia ? might that be behind it? maybe counselling would help or do you have close friends to talk to openly about it?

    Drinking I can understand - having done it myself - it works to a point ... but you risk getting a drinking habit

    Can you say what you think the anger is generated by??

    I'm kind in the same boat, feeling down mood. (*hug*) Something that has kinda work for me is keep really busy so that you don't have time to think. don't know if that the right answer, more of a band-ad. If your not talking to therapist or a friend then maybe that would be a start, I know it's easier said then done.

    I wouldn't drink to much as it's not going to end well, well it didn't for me. can you try replacing drinking with something else like maybe a nice hot bath or a book to get out of that mood. (*hug*)
