I am a young mom who has always been that "depressed but you can't really tell" type. I've been drinking 1+ large glasses of wine every night for months in order to cope/self-medicate. I found myself getting anxious around bedtime because I knew I just wanted to go drink. Not only is the financial toll starting to show, but I'm also too tired and forgetful to properly care for my family and myself. Yesterday, I started a vegan keto diet and, while I wanted so badly to drive to the local liquor store or binge-eat, I did neither. Instead, I stayed in bed and made a grocery order so that we all have good healthy food to eat for the next few weeks. This is me looking in the mirror and knowing something needs to change. This is me wanting to be there for my children and spouse. And this is me being hopeful for the future and knowing that if I stick to this, I can do anything.
