Alcohol & Anxiety/Depression

[Guest gupt]

I recently started drinking after never really drinking at all. I have noticed that I get some anxiety after drinking. I dont know if its connected but since I started drinking I have a low mood. 

Anyone experience negative effects if alcohol. When I have stopped for about a weej. I notice I feel alot better.

Stop drinking is the solution.

Yeh alcohol always took me to the dark places, alot of negativity. I made a vow to God one day and quit after 3 yrs, one year of drinking around 3 or times a week heavily.

Why did you start drinking? You mentioned it's a recent thing having never really drunk before... So what started it off? Why do you drink? Create an account and feel free to send a personal message veer. It would help you to be open and discuss this issue in detail so we may help as best we can.

[Guest gupt]

are you on medication also?  this could be a reason.

(naturally I would encourage you not to drink, especially more so if it is having this effect)

This Pangti might explain why you don't feel like drinking:

 

ਮਾਣਸੁ ਭਰਿਆ ਆਣਿਆ ਮਾਣਸੁ ਭਰਿਆ ਆਇ ॥ माणसु भरिआ आणिआ माणसु भरिआ आइ ॥ Māṇas bẖari▫ā āṇi▫ā māṇas bẖari▫ā ā▫e. One person brings a full bottle, and another fills his cup.

ਜਿਤੁ ਪੀਤੈ ਮਤਿ ਦੂਰਿ ਹੋਇ ਬਰਲੁ ਪਵੈ ਵਿਚਿ ਆਇ ॥ जितु पीतै मति दूरि होइ बरलु पवै विचि आइ ॥ Jiṯ pīṯai maṯ ḏūr ho▫e baral pavai vicẖ ā▫e. Drinking the wine, his intelligence departs, and madness enters his mind;

ਆਪਣਾ ਪਰਾਇਆ ਨ ਪਛਾਣਈ ਖਸਮਹੁ ਧਕੇ ਖਾਇ ॥ आपणा पराइआ न पछाणई खसमहु धके खाइ ॥ Āpṇā parā▫i▫ā na pacẖẖāṇ▫ī kẖasmahu ḏẖake kẖā▫e. he cannot distinguish between his own and others, and he is struck down by his Lord and Master.

ਜਿਤੁ ਪੀਤੈ ਖਸਮੁ ਵਿਸਰੈ ਦਰਗਹ ਮਿਲੈ ਸਜਾਇ ॥ जितु पीतै खसमु विसरै दरगह मिलै सजाइ ॥ Jiṯ pīṯai kẖasam visrai ḏargėh milai sajā▫e. Drinking it, he forgets his Lord and Master, and he is punished in the Court of the Lord.

ਝੂਠਾ ਮਦੁ ਮੂਲਿ ਨ ਪੀਚਈ ਜੇ ਕਾ ਪਾਰਿ ਵਸਾਇ ॥ झूठा मदु मूलि न पीचई जे का पारि वसाइ ॥ Jẖūṯẖā maḏ mūl na pīcẖ▫ī je kā pār vasā▫e. Do not drink the false wine at all, if it is in your power.

ਨਾਨਕ ਨਦਰੀ ਸਚੁ ਮਦੁ ਪਾਈਐ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਮਿਲੈ ਜਿਸੁ ਆਇ ॥ नानक नदरी सचु मदु पाईऐ सतिगुरु मिलै जिसु आइ ॥ Nānak naḏrī sacẖ maḏ pā▫ī▫ai saṯgur milai jis ā▫e. O Nanak, the True Guru comes and meets the mortal; by His Grace, one obtains the True Wine. Ang 554 (salok mehala 3) Hopefully that explains why you feel like that and now you have the Guru's input on it aswell. VJKK VJKF
