Its early boxing morning and been awake for ages feeling depressed because i feel disgusted with myself. The problem is that not only do i have issues with alcohol i have anorexia and depression each day is a living hell. I feel fat and disgusting because i ate more than i should, im on my own today so i know its going to be a bad day and will end up drinking to much feel so alone and really struggling to cope with it all

    Hi Joools. Sorry to hear about your multiple problems. I can only assist you with alcohol and was wondering how much you drink, for how many years and do you have breaks during the week? Sorry, but I cannot advice you concerning anorexia and depression. Great to see you here on this Forum! Merry Xmas from Robin

    Hi thanks for replying drink about half a bottle of vodka a day but the problem is of recent ive started having some earler it was always from sbout 5.30. After Christmas im going to speak to gp about the Sinclair method as i dont want to give up altogether. My only worry is im on some other meds for anxiety and depression and will it affect them

      I was similar to what you are describing. It has been 9 months today since my last drink. I would count my calories, exercise, eat even more healthy to try and balance the alcohol and was suffering from major anxiety attacks and did not want to stop but tried to cut down and couldn't do it. I hope you can.

      I have had to learn how to deal with the stress and depression without alcohol and seriously it is not easy but I would never go back to drinking. It is a very temporary solution with long-term implications

    Why do you drink and why do you want to continue after seeing the gp especially since it is empty calories?
