Some of yall seen my "changing life thread" about quitting drinking.

Well I've noticed that I'm not that happy with life when I'm not drunk. I'm completly board out of my mind. I think I might be drinking out of depression or boardom and not out of addiction.

I've talked to some people and they said when they quit drinking/drugs they went through the same shit and had to get on prozac to help them deal with it.

Has anybody ever done prozac? Whats that shit like? Do you think it would help me with this problem / is it worth trying?

I'd strongly recommend getting some meds if you just can't pull yourself out of a funk. I sooooo badly wish I could, but that kind of shit follows you for the rest of your military career and fuck that.

It's not uncommon at all to go through depression after giving up drinking or drugs. I've been going through depression as far as I can remember but it got real bad after I stopped gettin lifted. Best advice I can give you is trust the people you know love ya, and care about ya.

I'm sorry homie, but maybe you just need to quit feeling sorry for yourself. I've had hard times, and I always found something better to focus on before I complained about my troubles to other people. Go visit a rehabilation center (like burn victims or paralyzed patients) where people have real problems in their fucked up lives, and it might make you realize that life ain't so bad after all. Kick it with some old bums, and listen to their wasted-life stories. Fuck meds, I drank everyday for over a year, till one day I just decided to get my shit together. Didn't take strong will power or no shit like that, you just need to know that you're a human just like everybody else, and if other people can do it, you can do it too. I didn't go cold turkey, but I can go a couple weeks when I want to and not have to drink. Drugs like Prozac are for people that have no faith in doing shit for themselves. "Doctor, fix me...waaah." Believe in yourself. Don't be a pussy... and man up!

No disrespect intended.

I have learned that depression is all in your head, I went through it a couple months ago. I was in a foul mood all the time so I started taking st johns wort a herbal antidepressant which worked for awhile but whenever i stopped taking it i'd get real nasty mood swings so i stopped fucking with it all together and have been cool since. That shit runs in families though, best thing i can tell someone is to not think about being sad, get some hobbies so you don't dwell on stupid shit. Try to get yourself laid and everything will work out.

I really wouldn't recomend fucking with any pills or anything to try to make yourself feel better. Only thing that will make you feel good is yourself, no one or nothing is going to do that shit for you.

take a LONG drive somewhere and just listen to music and think...you have two kids who you're doing this for, just think how lucky you are to have kids when some people cant...think how lucky you are to be able to afford the internet to go on the siccness, afford buying stuff for your kids, afford buying food to put on the table...life sucks ass sometimes but everything always works out...

think about all the hoes u had sex with.. think about all those things u have that not a lot of people have (cars,ipods,laptops,plasa tvs.) just start thinking positive... think about the good things in your life... and also stop dwelling about the past and start thinking about the future... like the good things your about to do with your life.. this should boost u up... keep us updated after a few weeks bro!

i suggest you look some shit up on the net before asking on the siccness...

contrary to popular belief amongst ppl....depression is in the head alright...just not in the head to where you can think it away...could be in the genes...chem imbalance or some shit...i feel you on that not really enjoying life when sober...im in the same boat majority of the time, except i do go through good weeks, months, at a time...the feeling is always there in some shape or form...

i went through some terrible times in my head, and not a pile of mutilated children in my backyard coulda snapped me out of it...it aint that easy as to seeing how other ppl got more fucked up lives...its all in your brain chemistry and family history...not that bad now but its always there...times i dont really want to see or talk to ppl but its like some chronic pain...here and there...good days...bad days.

be careful with weed...while i stay plenty high and it all seems good...when your in that state of mind of being in a funk...staying clear headed could be a good way to look at the situation from a diffferent perspective...

talk to ppl you trust about these feelings, it does help somewhat...

you say you might be getting depressed because you quit drinking...maybe you were already depressed and didnt know it or realize it till now that youve quit drinking.

anyways...stay up dogg...head drama is a bitch.

and really really look at all possible alternatives besides meds...use them as last resort...because aint coming back from those happy pills the docs are more than happy to prescribe to any tom dick and harry with some minor symptom bullshit.
