Sorry you’re experiencing this, I am currently going through the same thing. It’s awful and so rubbish but keep fighting it will get better.
Please reach out for support with the drinking, this is a Coping mechanism which only numbs temporary and makes you feel worse. It can become an addiction quite easily do you have anything you enjoy that you can replace drinking with? or anyone you can talk to?
