Got to admit, I completely agree with this... and that's coming from someone that would binge drink at the weekends.

Reminds me somewhat of a Homer Simpson quote (tangent plane, vroooooom) "mmmm beer... the cure and cause of all lifes problems"

But yes, as a depressant, alchohol can compound the severity of our depression sadly.

You say you're not strong... but you really are... you've survived to now despite depression... despite the insipidness that makes us think things are futile.

Yes times are going to be bad... but there will also be respite if you just ride out the storm

If you aren't seeing a T, I'd really recommend looking into it... and speaking to your dr too... there is help if you just reach for it
