When I was very unwell I didn't even touch coffee let alone alcohol but now I'm back to myself again this last 6 months, I have the odd drink no issue. I totally went on a zoom bender at the weekend and have felt a bit vulnerable since. I used to get 'the fear' after heaving drinking in the past but it meant nothing to me other than 'i have a hangober'. Now that feeling, although temporary is very triggering for me and I'm scared to feel unwell, low and out of control again.
Anyone on medication, do you avoid heavy drinking or party as you usually would? And do you guys think it's risky to mental health when you have been unwell in the past or am I just now aware of my feelings in a way I wasn't before?
