Hangover anxiety

Morning,

Not really sure why I’m posting - but hoping for a handhold and hopefully not be alone.
I have been t total for pretty much 10 years - binge drinking and hangovers were horrible .. the anxiety, panic attacks the next day and the crippling fear of what I said/done etc.

i had a few drinks last night, a really lovely time until about two hours in.. then the anxiety started whilst I was still out. I was with good company, behaved myself etc so not anxiety from doing anything wrong.

I came home 3 hours after I went out, I have not been to sleep, the anxiety is crippling!!
does anyone else get the anxiety WHEN they are out? I know beer fear etc is a real thing the next day … but why am I getting it when I am out.

I know this will pass, but I just want to curl up into a ball and cry! ☹️

Ah big hug - it’s a crap feeling the day after let alone the night before. Can you take yourself off for a walk, plug in a nice podcast?

The older i get the less the alcohol appeals - it’s just not worth the hangover payoff x

Presumably because this is the first drink you’ve had in a decade op
