OT: Why do we do the things we do?

[Thermodyne]

I guess it should be noted that alcohol is a depressant. And should be positively avoided by people who are depressed. A depressed person having several stiff drinks is sort of like filling the fire bottle with propane. It will just make things worse. If you think you are depressed, get some professional help. Don’t self medicate with booze and don’t try to council yourself by airing your problems in an unprofessional (lack of a better word) “forum”. Depression is a serious illness and should be treated by someone trained to do so. Depression is nothing to fool around with. Seriously depressed people sometimes cause harm themselves and on occasion harm others.
