so beyond proud of you! I've also got bad mental health and been up and down. it's a dark place, but it's such a big achievement getting yourself help🤍
Thank you for being so brave and sharing your mental health journey. My mental health went down the toilet last year ( anxious, depressed…) but luckily I feel better now. I got out of the job that was giving me so much stress and nightmares/anxiety and went on medication for a bit. If you have seen Inside Out 2, the scene towards the end with Anxiety simultaneously frozen at the emotion console and whizzing around in circles depicted how I felt what was going on in my brain perfectly. I cried so much during that scene.
I don’t drink either, as there is a history of alcoholism ( and possibly addiction) on my dad’s side. I have super low tolerance, don’t like the taste of 99.99% of it, it doesn’t help with weight loss and I think I get addicted to stuff really easily. Plus it’s easier to say “I don’t drink” rather than having one Malibu and pineapple/cranberry juice and ending up under the table crying.
