To think I'll never get over this shame?

[30notflirty]

It's my 30th today. Last night had a family get together at my mums as our with friends tonight. A few of my friends were there last night though, lovely night, lovely food. I drank too much wine and then started crying saying no one had made any effort, when my mum said I was just crying because I'd had too much wine I ended up walking out of my mums house shouting, 'I don't even like macaroons!' which were on the cake she had made for me.

I got a taxi home and my friend jumped in where I continued to cry but remained adamant that I was stone cold sober - I really believed I was. I got home and watched desperate housewives and crashed out.

I have now awoken and realise I was drunk - very drunk. With a sore head and absolute horror and embarrassment at what I'm going to say to my mum for my behaviour, she must think I am a spoiled brat. My friends and I are going for breakfast this morning and they were there last night and I'm so embarrassed I don't want to go.

I have a full on day ahead and honestly just want to stay in bed away from everyone. Will this shame subside?

Happy birthday, OP! Onwards and upwards.

I enjoyed a really gorgeous glass of chilled white wine on Saturday with a neighbour in my garden

sure as heck didn’t feel demonic then

I would just pretend I don’t remember anything!

Great if you can keep it like that but not the point I was making.

The last time I was really drunk, I called my vicar a c**t.

😂😂😂

😭🫢🤣💀

Glad it all ended well in the end. Your mum and the friend who jumped into the taxi with you sound nice.

The embarrassment will die down, I'm sure they've all had one drink too many at some time over the years.

I don't want to be a downer and hope you have a great time this week celebrating your birthday and utterly spoiling yourself.

But they do say there is Truth in the Cups, maybe it's worth having a bit of a deeper think about what caused all the crying in the first place.

Are you dissatisfied with your current life? Were you reacting to something that was said? Did you have some high expectations that were not fulfilled? Is there something that's been troubling you and it all burst out at once. Just examples, these things may not apply to you at all.
But is it worth thinking, what to do moving forward? What would you like to change and maybe try and think about what small practical steps you could take to bring about those changes?

Oh dear! Firstly don’t cancel your day, you need to get past this & give your friends a chance to take the piss. Make yourself a huge “drunk in charge of mouth” badge and go & face the music. Obviously grovel to mother with flowers etc. we’ve all been in situations like this, it’s not a disaster. BUT, think about whether this is a one off or whether you’re doing this too often and consider changing your drinking habits? Happy birthday 🥳

This is perfect
