I've been there before man. I was addicted to alcohol and painkillers for nearly a year. I even tried to overdose one time. How I didn't die, I guess I'll have to wait for God to tell me why but I realized something.
Things may be bad now, but what about 10 or 20 years later? You have your whole life ahead of you and anything can happen. I was depressed 24/7, stole alcohol from stores/my mom's liq stash, laid in bed all day, barely ate, didn't care about school or anything else. What I did was think about my goals and what I needed to do in order to achieve them. I made a plan and I'm already halfway through with it. I also stopped drinking cold turkey and haven't picked up a bottle in nearly 6 months. You will never be 100% happy, but in this recovery process what can you do to take your mind off things and better yourself? I started working out, discovering new music, got a job as a teen therapist at a local high school and I plan to get my license and move out by next summer. I'm also averaging straight A's and working hard to still graduate next year after dropping out because I practically failed. You have to keep moving forward and eventually things will start going your way and you will find a path. The most important thing is to be confident and find faith in yourself. You are the only one fighting this battle. No one gives a fukk. Not even your friends or family. I have no friends and I only talk to my family when I have to at home. I hated myself for a long time but I had to accept some things in order to focus on myself. I'm still depressed. It gets worse every day but at least I'm putting it the work so hopefully I can find peace and happiness. Don't give up, fam. That's what it wants you to do. Too many people have lost their battles with depression and we treat it as a joke. Find a way to get better and use your experience to help people. Also, getting help isn't a bad thing. We're all fighting a battle every day. You're not stronger than everyone else because you can hold your thoughts in every day. That's what I do and it fukking sucks. If you ever need someone to help you, I'm here man.

I read your whole post. Just to help you out... you should read the Quran. Visit www.TheNobleQuran.com (English translation). Remember, Islam is the only way you will attain happiness in this life and eternal Paradise in the afterlife. Visit www.Islaam.ca as well. May Allah guide every member of thecoli to the straight path
thank you so much for the encouraging words in this thread everyone.
After writing this, I (unfortunately) drunk more, then passed out, and didn't read this until just now (I was slightly embarrassed for drunk shytposting)
Honestly, I don't say these things for attention. I say it, simply because I don't know anyone on here, and your opinions of me don't mean much and have no effect on my actual life (no offense). I can't say how I really feel or what I go through emotionally/mentally on places like Facebook, Instagram, ect for fear that people I interact with on the day to day will look down on me or think of me differently. On here it doesn't matter.
Ive made tremendous progress in the past few years but I still struggle, but its very tiring keeping this big secret away from everyone. I don't know why I feel this way, their's nothing particularly "wrong" with my life. On paper everything is fine, but its like a problem that has no name, no reason. Its like a shadow thats always behind me that I can't shake...
If you talk to anyone I know, they'll tell you Im the sweetest most cheerful person. But I feel like I overcompensate to cover up how emotionally inferior I am...
I don't expect anyone on here to give me online therapy, or fix my life or anything. But it is...helpful to be able to say whats on my mind with no consequences or backlash in my real life.

Don't stop drinking. Drink until you get alcohol poisoning. Thats the best way to deal with your problems or you could just take the easier option and just kill yourself
Hope you're not serious.
Smoke some green instead and listen to music or kick it with friends.
Drinking seems to amplify whatever mood you're in so if you're drinking and depressed it can be a dangerous cycle.
Why you depressed?
it's called drinking past your feelings.....if you mood is amplified you need to drink more, lol.
amplified mood is for sippers. once you drink past your feelings (which can be hard initially) you feeling pretty damn good.
