Shit.

I wanted to drink only a little, to still be able to edit my thesis. I ended up being slightly more drunk than I feel comfortable with.

I guess that's how alcoholism starts like.

Just try not to drink anything for a week or something.
If you start feeling powerless, depressed or stressed during that time,
then you are an alcoholic.

Hmm, I can actually survive quite a long time without drinking. I'm stressed almost constantly and have sudden mood swings from time to time, though they're not very crazy. Definitely no suicidal thoughts, but I sometimes get hyper (like now). And I rarely feel powerless, even though I usually sleep 3-4 hours a day.

Shit. I'm not an alcoholic, but there's something else wrong with me...

As I see it, it will either start becoming better after a year or so, or you fall into a really deep state of depression.
A little more sleep could help.

Great, just what I needed...

Actually, I know exactly when it'll get better: the day I'll be done with the place where I write my thesis and my psychopatic supervisor. Which should be in a week or so.

That's good for you!
But always remember:
Hope for the best, assume the worst.

I always assume the worst...

That is indeed important,
but you have to hope for best as well in order for the mantra to work.
What it means is that all you have to do is the minimum, the worst.
That is the 100% mark.
Everything more than that is even better, up to the limit of where you set your hopes.
If you only assume and hope for the worst you will not find joy in your doings.
