Anxiety levels through the roof

I am struggling so much today. I don't know what to do. I was diagnosed with OCD about 2 years ago and it's the intrusive thoughts that are the main issue for me.

I was out drinking last night and drank too much. Now I am thinking the worst. What if I did something stupid? What if I said something stupid? What if something bad happened to the people I was out with on their way home? I've texted around and had some replies but not from everyone and my mind is thinking the worst.

I can't live like this. I'm going to phone the gp tomorrow and get an appointment. And not drink for a while.

Hi you sound exactly the same as me !!!!! I can't go out anymore . I havnt been out since last year because of what drink does to me the next day . I went to a funeral two weeks ago and after we all went back to our local pub all school friends who I havnt seen for years and we all got extremely drunk . I woke up the next day an came close to driving my self nuts ! I would of emigrated if I could of 😂 didn't want to leave me house de activated all my social media and was constantly worrying about what if I said somthing I shouldn't of what did I do ? Did I do anything stupid ect ect !!!! I didn't text my friends back for a few days just Incase they were going to say what I had done ! I don't know why drink does it to you . But it makes my anxiety 100 times worse it took a good 4 days for me to stop worrying about what I had /hadn't done ! Everything will be ok ❤️ drink loads of water flush it all out and get some sleep you will feel a lot better xxx

Been there. Flowers

What's helped me most with mine is accepting that I worry because I care so much about not hurting others. Which is a nice thing about me.

It's a bloody nightmare. But you're also a very caring person
