Maybe you need to find the right combustion of antidepressants.
I truly feel sorry for you if your life sucks. Self medicating with alcohol is certainly not the answer.
My opinion is that if you truly suffer from clinical depression finding the right combination is critical. Try exercising and eating right and maybe your life won’t be that unpleasant.
Once I got my depression under control I had a very successful business career with two great kids and five great grandchildren.
I hope you find that balance.

I've never consumed alcohol in my 66 years of life, or smoked. I have been going to the gym ever since I had to retire in late 2015. At one point, I was lifting weights and walking at the gym 5 days a week. However, as time rolled on, my physical ability to work out began to lessen to the point that I had to cancel my membership a few months ago because physically, I can't do it anymore.
The neuropathy in my feet has become so severe than I'm no longer able to drive my wife's minivan because of the pain from keeping my foot on the accelerator and the brakes. I can still drive my truck, but only for short periods
of time. I'm basically house bound now.
