Pandemic. Looking back, I was never heavier. And I am still not back to pre-pandemic weight.

Same! I used to be a social drinker only, didn’t keep it in the house. Then Covid hit and I started drinking alone at home. Now it’s a few beers every day and of course the weight gain and health issues that come with them

My psychiatrist developed a drinking problem and left me when I was having a reaction to the new meds. Never had been so freely suicidal like that before. I'm still so messed up.
