to just cut off contact in shame

Last night I truly disgraced myself. I took a few painkillers and antihistamines earlier in the day and ended up so drunk I could barely walk. Lost phone, abused friends, people now hate me and I am sitting at home crying with shame.

WIBU to just disappear from these people's lives forever now I have apologised? I hate myself.

Your friend does seem mean. These things happen, and usually people take it with a bit more humor than your friend.

Flisspaps · 26/11/2011 12:04

YABU. Especially as this 'friend' has acted in the same way before and is now trying to be all high and mighty. I would say sorry to him, anyone else you upset, and then leave it at that.

I don't know of any many people who haven't disgraced themselves completely and acted like an utter knob when drunk.

Don't cry, grab something to eat, something to drink, and then go back to bed for a few hours. Call the places you went to last night to ask if your phone has been handed in. If it hasn't and it's a contract phone, then call your provider to let them know it has been lost - they may be able to put a bar on any calls being made so a huge bill can't be run up.

I know this is entirely your own business and you don't have to talk about it on here...but I agree about the painkillers not having much affect. So, the question is, what has really caused you behave like this?

takingbackmonday · 26/11/2011 12:07

Thank you. You've made me feel a little better.

He is a bit mean. I just don't know why I did it.

Do you do this regularly or is it a one off?

daveywarbeck · 26/11/2011 12:07

Duvet day for you. If he posted that on your wall delete it and send him a private message saying you are truly sorry, then leave ball in his court. No reason why you should have that plastered on your wall.

Sort lost phone as soon as you feel up to making a few calls.

daveywarbeck · 26/11/2011 12:08

antihistemenes plus alcohol = crazy behaviour. I've done it accidently myself.

takingbackmonday · 26/11/2011 12:08

facebook chat not wall.

I do have a tendency to drink a bit but I do not get rude and abusive. I have no idea why I was such a monster

The whole point about friends is that they should be people you can trust to be there even when you fuck things up, as we all do.

I bet you were not so harsh when your friend did similar stuff in the past. Ranting at you all over facebook is really nasty. He will have made himself look like the prick he is.

ApocalypseCheeseToastie · 26/11/2011 12:13

Oh lordy, the shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame !

You won't be the first tho, or the last Wink

takingbackmonday · 26/11/2011 12:13

Nope, I never mention it. He can be a bit mean.

Still really ashamed

daveywarbeck · 26/11/2011 12:14

chat is forgiveable then. Most people have made a cock of themselves through alcohol at one time or another, the trick is to take on board how unclever this was (I realise it was unintentional, you have learned that OTC medicaiton an booze don't mix) and not do it again.

valiumredhead · 26/11/2011 12:14

Which painkillers did you take? Anything with codeine in is known for making some people go a bit barmy especially with alcohol as well.

takingbackmonday · 26/11/2011 12:15

2 of the codeine nurofen ones and 3 piriton because I had a bit of an allergic reaction to something

OP posts:
valiumredhead · 26/11/2011 12:18

Piriton on its own will knock me for six!

FabbyChic · 26/11/2011 12:18

Clearly the meds made you behave that way.

daveywarbeck · 26/11/2011 12:18

Whoa, you're lucky not to be in hospital frankly. I'd be floored by the codeine and piriton. In fact I used to take piriton as a sleeping pill when a stressed a level student [not recommended emoticon].

valiumredhead · 26/11/2011 12:20

Simmer down, it's hardly an overdose, is it? Grin

Well he sounds like a dick. You were obviously off your tits but he should have called you or come round to have a quiet word about your behaviour if you were that bad.

CuriousCrissyRock4QueenMama · 26/11/2011 12:28

Oh fgs I've had friends do much worse when blottoed. Is he really such a good friend? How old are you all? Someone needs to get a life!

LittleLucifer · 26/11/2011 12:28

Today will be the worst you feel - honest. Your hangover is probably making you feel depressed and time is a great healer.

I made a complete arse of myself one night. I abused a friend who thought she was being helpful and I went completely overboard with my apologies afterwards. The result? She had complete power over me and has used it to bash me with for nearly four years. And she has made up details and wiped her memory of my apologies. With hindsight, I think that the drunken, verbal bashing I gave her was justified and four years is a long time to hold a grudge over a 20 second, drunken and profusely apologised for rant.

Can you remember what you did exactly? Or are you relying on his summing up?

Don't apologise again. Hold your head up high and Facebook anyone else you may have offended. Take control and don't let your mean friend make you feel any worse. A real friend would chastise you and then try to make you feel better.

takingbackmonday · 26/11/2011 12:28

They're not the worrying types!

I feel fine today health-wise, just truly ashamed, mortified etc.

Nope, no arrests or physical harm. Called someone a c*nt Blush and was generally loud and annoying.

I don't get like this. I am a moron.

Agree that you won't be the first, and you won't be the last.

Console yourself with the thought that at least you didn't throw up over anyone, get taken to A&E and roundly abuse the people who took you there (but not the A&E staff) as they were clearly idiots who didn't have a brain cell between them.

Not that I did that. No sirree, not me... Wink

takingbackmonday · 26/11/2011 12:31

Thanks fuzzled.

I think I would feel a lot better if everyone else shared their moments of failure embarrassment
