I got really drunk last night I don't know what happened. I don't really remember leaving my friends just vaguely, they were going home, I got confused and didn't know where I was. Ended up walking around the quiet streets for hours by myself I don't remember all this clearly just bits.

Could I have been raped and not know? I'm lying in bed shaking I'm so scared. I don't know how this happened. One minute I was fine, next really really drunk.

I've lost about £20 I think and don't know how this happened so maybe someone stole it or maybe I just lost it but if someone took it I don't remember and what if I was raped? What if I have a std?

Op please go to your Dr.... CBT is really good for anxiety, also read back to the other suggestions, many people have been through similar to you and know good strategies for improving things.

Ok, you could have fallen or been attacked, but you weren't. So looked at that way, you were fortunate. Concentrate on the fact you got home safely. You are safe. Keep repeating that.

You are getting 'stuck' on the negative- it's like a well worn path that you keep accidentally getting on to. You need to forge a new more positive path. So pick a few things which are good, and keep repeating them: I am safe, I have a job, I've got friends. When ever you have a quiet moment, focus on those things, repeat the words, even out loud if you need to. Wear a new more positive pathway.

I hope you feel better this morning - I suffer badly with anxiety and it's so horrible - your thoughts are probably because of things that have happened in the past and you are trying to protect yourself, and because you couldn't think straight your mind was all over the place. This will get better with help, please don't worry

How are you feeling today?
Been reading your post. Poor you.
Drink made me extremely anxious - even when I was completely in control and remember getting home etc as I’ve got older it’s just got ridiculous.
I’m 45. I now only drink with people I’m very close to and maybe only a few times per year. I’ve found that going out and drinking tonic suits me more. I would have the fear until Wednesday when I would realise how irrational I had been behaving and how my mind had been running away with me,
I do hope you are ok. You’ve been on my mind. I found the fear completely spoilt the night out.
I have had much more fun since round my friends houses dancing to Wham and drinking tonic xx
