My Depression Story - Part 1 (Depression & Alcoholism)

[@kimdobruck939]

You are so real.I can identify with so many things you say.I suffer from depression and anxiety but try to be positive. The beginning of this year I was in a really bad car accident. I don't know how I survived. I lost my dog who had been by my side for two years. I had her since she was 6 weeks old.i thank God every day that I'm alive but am still mad he took coco. I am just now out of my funk and getting stronger. Now battling the nicotine demon.sorry I really don't know why I shared all that

Thanks a lot for sharing your story Chris. I have had my own bouts of depression during the college days and post that. I could relate a lot to your experience. Thanks for all the wonderful videos about quitting smoking and most of all sharing your real self with us.

@@ChrisSkoyles Hi Chris thanks for your reply. I have been feeling very low lately and wake up wishing I could just go back to sleep or never wake up. I hope it is just withdrawal and that it will eventually pass. Its getting worse but ive not smoked in exactly 2 weeks. I dont know if withdrawals are ever this bad
