Oh my god, woke up realising why I don't drink.

There was a guy I had a (brief) history with about 8 months ago. Get on when it's general chit chat but doesn't extend past that.

3am and I'm texting/calling him for a reason I don't understand, he's clearly ridiculously confused too Confused

I came across so needy and desperate repetitively messaging/calling him after having one five too many, and it's out of character for me.

I bump into this guy a lot and I'm dreading it. I don't even want to go out in public todayBlush someone reassure me! I just look like some psycho girl from 8 months ago still latching onBlush

Just act like it never happened. And if he brings it up then just say “sorry, I have no idea why I did that”

Urgh that feeling is the worst, I get the morning after dread sometimes even when I know Iv done nothing to warrant it! It's your mind making it feel 10 times worse.

Own it next time you see him, sorry about that 😂 obviously I had something I really needed to tell/ask you, can't have been that important it's escaped me now

WhiteDust · 30/12/2018 09:39

Did he reply?

KC225 · 30/12/2018 09:39

Yes, front it out. Pretend it never happened and he will follow. 100% he knows you weren't entirely sober last night.

pipal · 30/12/2018 09:44

He answered the phone and made an excuse to call me back (but didn't😂).
His text replies were just 'are you alright?' And 'why were you ringing me?'

I'm unbelievably hungover as my non-drinking self had too many. On the edge of my bed on the verge of being sick. Feel like a teenager again and don't like it BlushBlush

Oh you poor thing. It's a horrid enough feeling when waking up knowing it's just over indulgence but these situations are so crippling. I sabotaged a lot when I used to drink and suffered great fears and it is a massive knock to the self esteem. Don't beat yourself up, you will feel totally shitty today bit it will fade. Message him and say you had drunk on medication you hadn't realised would react, you are mortified sorry and can it be forgotten. He will be as relieved as you. Then, when you feel strong enough, bump into him and get that bit out of the way.
Nothing will help until you have had a decent meal and a good night's sleep. Be kind to yourself, don't let the harpies on here put you down x

You have to message or the beer fear will stay! Just text and tell him you have the fear and sorry for being a knob when drunk.

Everyone ex texts when pissed.

This is why I no longer get fully hammered after the Xmas do this year nope nope nope never again.

Isth · 30/12/2018 09:52

I get the beer fear something chronic so I feel your pain! I personally would just text back and say ‘sorry, drunk me clearly had her reasons, I can’t be held responsible for her 😂’ as I’d feel better laughing at myself about it. I can see why you’re cringing but in the grand scheme of things, this isn’t a big deal and will soon be forgotten about.

Hocuspocusy · 30/12/2018 09:52

We’ve all been there... just front it out.. explain you were very drunk and not sure why you were contacting him, sorry and happy new year! Then move on..... it will always seem worse to you, he will forget about it in 5 minutes, I promise.

rwalker · 30/12/2018 10:08

front it out text say "sorry for calls and text pissed last night lol". Then he knows your not hiding in shame and don't care .

MarmaladeIsMyJam · 30/12/2018 10:10

And a name change fail Grin you’re on fire this morning OP!

Missingstreetlife · 30/12/2018 10:17

Why did you drink so much?

toriatoriatoria · 30/12/2018 10:37

Just front it out! I like Isth's message, that would probably minimise things.

I've not heard "beer fear" before...I tend to call it a shameover!

CripsSandwiches · 30/12/2018 10:38

I think we've all had that feeling before. I agree with fronting it out. If he asks just say "oh really? I was so drunk, god knows what I was thinking" and breeze along your way.
