So annoyed with myself - Alcohol and Anxiety

5 replies

I realised about 6 years ago that if I drank too much, and by "too much" I only mean about 3 glasses of wine, nothing crazy, I have horrible anxiety the next day, which I know is a common alcohol-related side affect.

I normally have a glass of wine at night, once in a great while 2 glasses. Because I am a massive tit I had 4 glasses of wine last night! Why oh why did I do this to myself. I think I got a bit carried away because my husband and I were having fun, playing music, playing cards, etc, and now I'm paying the price. I have utterly ruined my day because I was so dumb. I'm so annoyed with myself.

Beer fear. I hate it.

Can you bunker down on the sofa for the rest of the day, watch rubbish TV and get something nice to eat? You’ll feel better tomorrow.

Urgh yes, the anxiety, dread and panic/paranoia is horrendous.

Its why I no longer drink. I'm sorry but one evening simply isnt worth the mental anguish the next day. It really isnt. I feel so less stressed no longer drinking now.

Beer fear. I hate it.

It's the fucking worst, and it's not like I was pounding shots all night! Just 4 normal size glasses of wine and my day is ruined. How pathetic.

I find that doing nothing actually makes me feel worse so I'm just going to stomp around being pissed off with myself.

I have never been a big drinker, and I feel great with my regular nightly glass of wine. Apparently my brain fell out last night and I went insane.
