Oh, man. I've been self-medicating with alcohol for years now. My internal organs probably resemble swiss cheese. If my liver could talk, it would probably curse me out for abusing it for all these years.

I don't know what's better; booze or antidepressants/anti-anxiety meds. Both will take it's toll if not used properly.

We need friends to help cope with the pain that we experience in life, but they don't come in a prescription bottle or... a glass bottle... or..um... a plastic one, if you are on a tight budget.

I've had an easier life taking prescription meds with the guidance of a psychiatrist.

Shrinks don't use alcohol therapy, do they?

Be careful and be good to your internal organs. Make friends and keep them. That's all I have to suggest.
