Alcohol

 

 

One sip, and another,

leading to,

my speech, it begins to stutter,

the voices win, and I loose.

 

Drinking, drinking,

more and more,

sinking, lower and lower,

just like before.

 

The taste is horrid,

feeling like I'm going to be sick,

I sit here,

holding my stomach,

head spinning,

around and round,

every little sound,

pounds my head,

any tiny thing that is said,

echos throughout my brain,

I think,

how did I end up like this?

drinking, cutting, overdosing,

attempting to die,

telling all these lies,

why do I do this?

how did I end up like this?

I ask myself,

over and over,

and I never find out the answer...

it remains unknown,

and as I sit here alone,

I remain thinking, pondering the question,

again... and again...

but the answer, I have never found...

In that case, you should know that alcohol only makes depression worse.

 

"Alcohol is a depressant. People with depression shouldn't drink alcohol", says Sherry Rogers, MD, in her 1997 book on "Depression." She says that studies show that doctors miss diagnosing over 66% of the people who are depressed.

 

Alcohol temporarily blunts the effects of stress hormones. It typically leaves you feeling worse than ever because it depresses the brain and nervous system. One study looked at people who consumed one drink a day. After three months abstinence, their scores on standard depression inventories improved.

{The Brain, "You Can Control Your Emotional Wellness," USA WEEKEND, Jan. 3, 1999, Jim Thorton, health reporter}

 

Google "depression and alcohol" for more information.
