Oh dear. I got very down yesterday in a 'heck, I look awful and it will never change' sort of way. It's a shame as I started the day in a good mood, but then there was one of those seeing myself sideways in the mirror incidents.
Anyway, I decided to chill out and socialise online (as I live a long was from my friends at the moment so that's how we stay in touch) and I managed to drink 2 bottles of wine all alone. So now I have a hangover, and looking at my msn conversations last night I was repeating myself a lot so lord knows what other people think. The calories alone in the alcohol are bad enough, but drinking alone is another thing entirely. What a stupid thing to do - now I am so ashamed! And still feel ugly.
Has anyone else done this on bad days? When I am up, I can go ages not really noticing or bothering with alcohol, but when I am down I seem to turn to it and it worries me. It seems to be a taboo subject, drinking with depression, and I am finding this difficult to share, but I would like to know what people think.
Alcohol = calories and snacking, but presumably escapism.
