I'm not sure what I'm expecting here but I'm so desperate for help I've tried everything .
I've been depressed for a few months now Unable to work and drinking a lot and not going out . I was living with my boyfriend but he got fed up and dumped me Xmas eve . I am really struggling. I don't have many friends or a job and I feel like I can't do it anymore and want to give up . Has anyone been at rock bottom and got better ? I don't think I can cope with dealing with this break up

Hiya op,

Sorry your feeling this way. I have been at rock bottom and fought my way back. It's not easy but you can definitely do it. Have to been to your gp at all?

You need to stop drinking. It’s a depressant.
Try the ADs. Focus on getting you well and then you can worry about a relationship.

Drinking causes lots of calamities to happen that wouldn't have happened without it. I know I feel horrific after drinking, super low. Not having a job is scary. Taking small steps. drink water, tea, self care. google some meditation. Louise Hay always sounds reassuring. Self care is important.

Bath, clean clothes, clean sheet, wash on, tidy up, vacuum makes me feel much better. Then lists of what you'd like to do. Need to do. And then at least if you fall back into bed at this point the room is clean and not depressing :)

Food: colourful vegetables/fruit, helps healthy happy, water, and movement- whatever you like, be it walking to the shops/park, cycling, Yoga, staying in and doing a 3 min dance, star jumping, get some endorphins going..

life is ups and downs, don't get lost in the struggle. Christmas alone is what half the country wish they were doing. Peace and quiet. So this is where you are at, it's all flow. A new year is coming, spring will come all be it a while a way. take care of yourself and your thoughts.

I would try giving the ad's a go and try and stop drinking. Do you have anyone you trust that you can talk to? It's such a lonely place to be but you can get through it
