[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are using alcohol to manage depression from the death of a spouse. You need a therapist that specializes in mourning and loss. Since this was a suicide you also have PTSD and should treat trauma with DBT. The Wendy center is the best place for this. Get help, you are not an alcoholic yet but once you are the addiction will be way tougher to break than it is now.[/quote] I agree with this PP. It sounds like you’ve been self medicating with alcohol after a very painful year. Self medicating with substances is very common. Depression and boredom have some similarities - apathy, restlessness - which you don’t notice as much when you’re drinking. I am proud of you for recognizing there is an issue, and also suggest you seek a counselor who specializes in grief to help you confront your loss. Wishing you all the best. [/quote]
