Health Anxiety

Help and advice needed please.

I used to suffer really badly with health anxiety, I have become much better in the last few months since reading some self help books.

However, all though it has eased since I have started exercising and eating healthier, it creeps back in when I tend to be tired after drinking the night before (no where near as bad as it used to). How do I convince myself that I can let my hair down and have a drink with some party food this bank holiday weekend? I went my sisters last night and am slightly tired today after sharing wine with her but I have a party tonight and feel worried / guilty about doing it again - it sounds irrational but I hate feeling like this and wish I could just be normal and see it as being human and having a good time without worrying about the anxiety.

I know, but also don’t want the anxiety ruling my life so much I miss out on the things I enjoy

Drink lots of water before you go out and have plenty to eat and try to water in between drinks, easier said than done.

I stopped drinking due to anxiety and it does feel better. I have some of those Trip drinks instead (CBD)
