Why does alcohol make stress and depression “go away” almost instantly but is making it worse in the long run?
In: 125
The stress & depression exist for real reasons.
Using alcohol only treats the symptoms & not the underlying issue.
Just drinking alcohol won’t make your problems worse & can be a useful tool in making them better, *if* you address the aggravating factors that make you vulnerable *or* invest in protective factors that make you more resilient.
Abusing alcohol will make your stress & depression worse because you’ve added another thing to be depressed & stressed about.
