May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being.

It affects how we think, feel, and act.

It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices.

Over-drinking is usually a sign that our mental health is in need of some help.

Over-drinking is a symptom. For a lot of my clients, it's a symptom of stress, high levels of anxiety, overwhelm, loneliness, grief, big painful life changes or traumatic events like a high conflict divorce or a major medical diagnoses.

Using alcohol as a way to cope is a sign that your mental health could use some support.

It's not something to be ashamed of or to keep a secret.

If you've been struggling with alcohol use and you identify as someone who is using alcohol as a way to cope (or another sign is, finding it very hard to stop automatic behavior and can't identify the cause of your over-drinking) it's time to get help.

Tune into this podcast episode and hear the intersections of mental health and over consumption of alcohol.
