[Imagine]

Still going through a bout of heavy beer drinking everynight of the week - I'm begining to worry more about my mental state.

Every morning I wake up tottally DP'ed, sometimes it takes me at least 5 minutes to realise who I'am and where the hell I'am.

In with a mix of me having a Pituatiry disorder causing low levels of Testosterone and high levels of Prolactin (treatment starting soon hopefully) I still crave a night of several pints of stella artois.

In one month I have went from 11 stone to 14. During the day I just feel dead, my dreams have the same consistency as my reality.

Basically I fear alcoholism and me turning into a vegetable, suffocated in an unreal state for the rest of my life.

At 17 years old I just want to be a normal teenager but from Generalised Anxiety Disorder to Depression to DP/DR starting at the age of 12, I just wonder what the next step is, death before 20? Mental Institution? Comatose?

I now fear life and actually am starting to believe that being dead would be better than this.

My first reaction to your post....GET OFF THE ALCOHOL.....you have to...you are still young and you can stay steer away from alcoholism...seek help in the form of a substance abuse counselor and a psychiatrist. Again, you are still young and can fix this problem. But nothing to it, but to admit you have a problem and tackle the problem head on. Thats the advice I can offer.

ok a tip from me (someone who likes a drink)

1/stop drinking strong beer/lager if you must drink drink something like fosters

2/dont drink at home alone,go to your local pub,get involved in conversation,have a laugh,join the pool team

3/dont drink to get drunk,know your limitations

I would have a think about why you drink, is it to calm anxiety, is it to numb pain etc?

then when you have worked that out try and find a way to do this is a more health way. eg walk to help feel tired etc.

Stella isn't like normal lager - it's definitely psychoactive. They don't call it 'fighing juice' for nothing. Stick to Grolsch or Becks.
