Hi anners6

Welcome to PC. Thank you for sharing your story with us. It sounds like your boyfriend has so many issues he is struggling with. He is so fortunate to have you to support and care about him!

He sounds like he may be self-medicating the depression with alcohol, which in itself is a depressant, and just makes things worse. I know firsthand how I thought it works. Definitely not a good idea.

He really really needs professional help. No matter how much you love him, there is nothing thats going to get better without an adequate diagnosis and treatment if necessary.

I wish you luck and peace!
