Alcohol
It may feel good at first to have a few drinks to help you forget how worried or depressed you may be feeling. However, this is only a short-term solution. Too much alcohol can cause problems and damage relationships with family and friends, which are particularly important at this time. If you are having treatment for a serious illness or taking antidepressant medication, it can sometimes be harmful to combine this with alcohol.
Alcohol is a depressant and so can make you feel even lower. Taking recreational drugs may make you feel better for a short time, but can seriously damage your health in the long term.
