I have been where you are so I will tell you what worked for me...might help.

For many many years I worried about everything and anything. I like you had no friends...had no time for them so busy worrying... While I was worrying I too was drinking and just generally not looking after myself. I worked 3 jobs but still I couldn't keep up with bills etc.The stress was paralyzing. I kept going somehow but was miserable. I developed ulcers , high blood pressure and had headaches constantly. I went to my doctor often he prescribed celexa, Xyban various other anti depressant medications which did not work as I was still worried about everything.

I work in a retirement home with seniors. I worked nights so they would be up all night lonely, depressed that their children don't call or come to see them, worried about their declining health, a miriad of problems, so this combined with my own problems was overwhelming but then it happened..one of the residents I had known since starting to work there became ill and ultimately died. We had become very close. He often said I was like his daughter. When he died I think that was the straw that broke the camel's back. I drank heavily that day and worried what my life would be like without him. In my already weakened state I passed out. One of my sons came to visit me that weekend and found me unconscious and unable to wake me. He called 911 . An ambulance came and took me to the hospital. When I finally awoke my son was there crying so upset saying he thought he had lost me.

Seeing him so upset made me realize that I had people who loved me and I didn't want to hurt them. So right then and there I kinda decided that stress and worrying would no longer run my life. I put my big house up for sale, got rid of so much stuff, felt liberated and adopted a new philosophy...when I started to feel stressed I would just think to myself LET IT GO...I think I will get that tattooed somewhere...not worth the strife.

Sorry to babble...as for the person who makes you feel bad....what kinda person is that? and do you really need to be around them so just pity them and think WTF...he makes you feel bad for his enjoyment....you don't need that kinda terrible person around so just tell him BITE ME...and feel sorry for him....poor excuse for a human that he is...lol

Realize that you are a good person and that there are people who care about you. Do things that you like to do...fishing, playing sports, golfing, ...Look after you and the rest will come. You may not be happy instantaneously but will feel better bit by bit for sure.

I will be wondering how you are doing and sending good wishes your way...

Take care and All the Best

If you are self-medicating with alcohol, you should go see someone to get some help. Drinking to make you feel better is almost always a bad idea and the amount you drink will get bigger as time goes by.

A good counselor or therapist will be able to help you pin-point the areas of your life that are causing you to feel upset and depressed and angry, and then you can set up methods for feeling better that don't involve alcohol.

well alcohol is NOT a medication
dont let that guy get to you
i know the sticks and stones sh!t but im serious
dont let him push you around
no one should have the right to make someone else feel horrible
just, idk what to say im sorry
just dont drink its not good for you
yeah it will take away the pain for a while but youre still going to have to face that guy everyday and its better to be sober
get wasted off of life
not drugs and booze

Dont drink ! it just makes things worse i knw i have tried it last time i drank ended up drunk out of my head shouting and swearing at the police in the police station.. Maybe you should try going to your gp or a psychologist/chiatrist and teling them how you feel maybe ure depressed any you could get some medication or talking to someone might help you .
