Day 11 and I’m really down in the dumps

Anhedonia and depression is hitting hard today. I’m usually feeling so much better at this point. I feel like I have a hangover, my head is throbbing, my body hurts and I have zero energy. I know I should be exercising but I can’t even bring myself to do it. Caffeine makes me feel anxious and shitty. I’m just really sick of my life right now (not suicidal). I quit my job a couple months ago (unrelated to drinking) and I’m incredibly lonely. I’m taking the summer off to get sober and in a good headspace before I get another job. But everything seems so bleak right now.

Idk how I’m going to get through today but I’m definitely not going to drink
