I am so sorry to hear about your friends sister. How incredibly sad.
My friend just helped me understand my recent increase in alcohol use. I suffered from postpartum depression and was medicated for it the past year. Well, I am weaning off those meds. And feel like I am now using alcohol to replace... When I'm alone I feel very anxious so I am self medicating. Totally not ok but helps me at least understand WHY.
