Covid has been hard. March 2029- December 2020 I drank a lot to cope without realizing it. January- March I didn't realize I was depressed. March I came to terms with increase and ongoing suicidal ideation and needed help.

During the beginning of covid I drank every day and in a great deal. January it was a "dry" month which was hard the first week but overall great.
