I am wondering why I often have a strangely lifted mood the next day after drinking.
I have been diagnosed with depression and have been taking some medication for that previously (with less than perfect success). Usually I still feel fatigue and lack of energy daily.
When I go out I might drink quite heavily and sometimes, although very rarely, I may have a real hangover with the usual physical symptoms such as headache the day after. That of course is not nice at all.
However, if I don't have that kind of hangover, I might feel that the day after drinking my mood is lifted for some reason. It's not that I had so much fun out, and actually I might feel a bit guilty about drinking. But somehow life just looks better and I am more energetic. Can there be some neurochemical reason for that? I would like to feel like that all time but don't want to drink!
Looking forward to your funny answers and hopefully even some serious one that might help me understand myself better.
