Not good.: Please get help instead of knocking yourself out to avoid dealing with your depression. I encourage you to start by seeing your physician who can evaluate for underlying medical issues & assess to see if you have clinical depression. Take care.

Do not do: this. You can overdose. See a doctor and get professional help and counseling. Do not self medicate.
