And you're right we do care. I hope you find a better way than drinking, but understand how bad the thoughts can get. I've been trying to finish a book for a month now but can't get the thoughts to stop long enough to concentrate on the book. Mine are mostly negative thoughts too. I sometimes listen to soft music to help quiet my mind and sometimes it really helps, other times, not so much.
Hang in there.
