Post-drink depression

poisonated

Anyone else get this when they wake up the morning after drinking?
Also I would like to hear peoples opinions...
I suffer from OCD.. this feels me with a lot of guilt and everytime I go out drinking I wake up the next day feeling very guilty and end up texting my friends to appolagise for being a prick(over the smallest things).Anyway i fear that they are going to get freaked and stop being friends.They say that i am too sensetive but I cant stop myself from feeling this way until I send them a text looking for reassurance.
Sorry for the rambling
Thanks

I always feel that way too (not the guilty but depressed) - alcohol is a depressant. Try taking some vitamin B the next day - it can help.

If it makes you feel like that bad the day after and you act the prick when on it then maybe it's time to pack in alcohol completely?

I find it depressing in a good sense (kinda), especially if I had an epic nite and the next day I'm think ugh, have to wait till next week to do that again, also I APLOGISE FOR NOTHING!:cool:

Yeah, real mature :rolleyes:

OP, are the little things you fight about on nights out OCD related?

It could be that the booze is makin you more agressivly vigilant with them sort of things

As was said, alcohol is a depressant, so it seems you defo need to cut down, or better yet, cut it out altogether

Spending my sunday morning sending aplolgetic messages to my friends, after nights out when I meant to be havin a laugh doesnt seem like a great weekend

I feel like that on occasion - absolutely crippled with anxiety over anything I may have done and I can't relax until I have texted everyone I was out with for reassurance. I also always feel like I was drunker than anyone else. First of all, try reassuring yourself that everyone else was drinking too - it wasn't like your friends were all completely sober and thinking you were an idiot.

The second thing to do is to drink less. You don't need to stop totally unless you are actually doing awful things, but slow down, alternate with water, soft drinks and all those tips. Once you go home knowing that you aren't hideously locked, you will wake up knowing it as well.

thanks for the replies,
These things arent OCD related..I dont actulay do anything,I just get small panic attacks unless i text anyone I feel I may have annoyed.There may be an element of trying too hard to please people i dunno.I just feel that these texts may be pushing everyone away.Its a f..king vicious cycle because I appolagise for appolagising and cant think of anything or do anything unless I send them these texts.I dont know how to get out of this cycle.
I suppose the previous poster is right that if i drink less it will stop.Im not so sure though because the thing with OCD is,there is always something going to be bothering you.
thanks again
