Hi
I went out last night and amn't sure what happened.I cant remember clearly what happened.I feel that I may have embaressed myself.I got sick for the first time and fell out of my top bunk in the process without realising.I was told that I went into a taxi with some guy and I cant remember that at all.I got a panic attack in the middle of the night and I really dont know what happened and Im trying to rermember what happened.Should I try talking to one of the guys about this?I really dont know what to do and I feel really depressed now.What should I do?
Thanks

doesn't everyone get blackouts from time to time? it's no big deal. ask your mates what happened. probably wont be the last time.

Happens to the best of us mate.

You'll get used to it. Sure I can barely remember the latter half of most nights I'm out!

Don't drink as much (or as fast) in future. That helps.

aw OP seriously dont give that a second thought if this is the first time you got sick drinking well done cos it happens EVERYONE!!! you've got whats called the "fear!" and it gets worse as you get older, how old are you??? the fear is when you wake up all depressed, and have serious anxiety about the night before and it is like a panic attack but its always worse in your head then what really happend! and to be fair i have done way way way worse then you on nights out falling out of bed is nothing and most people are too worried about what they did themselves the next day to worry about what you did!!! seriously give the lads the a call and just go " hey i was pretty hammerd last night anyone remember what happend?"" i was told (i dont remember) that i threw myself at one of my friends one night real cringey stuff like chased him around and all made a holy show of myself everyone saw the slaggings i got the next day were unbareable to say the least but sure so what nobody got hurt, its harmless so what if you made a bit of a dope of yourself it was probably funny and entertaining to everyone else so stop worrying!!!

You may also consider drinking less. You may end up mugged, beaten or hit by a car. At least not raped if you're a bloke - although...

:eek: this is a part of getting drunk i wudnt worry abt it

LegacyUser · 30-07-2009 10:56pm

Just remember how bad you feel now the next time you're out & maybe dont have that last drink..........
Been there many times and it's not a nice feeling but can be avoided!

Just an observation here but I'm sure if this was posted in another country
they'd be recommending AA but here all the responses are that it's normal. Does this say something about Ireland?

Not wanting to drag the thread off topic here but do want to respond to this.. mods if you want I will delete this if you think it's OT. Anyway, I think the OP is quite young and we've all done it. I don't think it's helpful to start mentioning AA for waht seems like a once off incident. By all accounts the OP is worried about it, so they've realised what the problem is already. That's part of the learning curve. I've done the excessive drinking thing and know enough at this point in my life that I better stay within my limits or else... noth that I always do but it's rare. That's what being a ttenager and your 20's are for IMHO. If the OP was talking in terms of them enjoying all this and that they felt they didn't have a problem, then maybe AA might be worth a suggestion, at least as a course of action in the future. I thik the OP is grand and sounds liek they've their head screwed on.

Last time that happened me I woke up in a cell. You're doing alright if you made it back to a bed.

While I don't necessarily disagree with the above comments, especially considering this was the first time and hopefully a one off, I will say that if this becomes a more regular occurance then I think that's when it becomes an issue. Thankfully it's never really happened to me but talking to my friends, not recalling parts of the night, or even worse, blackouts is really horrible.
Learn from it and good luck

I had a similar experience years ago which made me give up the drink entirely. It's called a 'blackout', or to give it it's proper name: alcoholic amnesia. Mind yourself

Faith · 31-07-2009 8:52am

It's happened to me before. I think it's happened to everyone. You just have to get over it, and then work on learning your limits so you can stop drinking before it happens again.

Having lived in America and Spain for a while, I can tell you that young people drinking to excess in not unusual there.

In fact, in both Spain and America, young people, while not drinking as regularily as here, can drink far in excess.

If you're a girl and you don't remember getting in a cab some some randomer, I'd definitely ask around.

We all over do things from time to time, just try to make sure that you have people you trust around you to make sure you don't do anything really silly.
Even better would be to pace yourself and try not to get so mouldy next time.

I hope the hangover's passed by now...
Nothing better than waking up the morning after a hangover and enjoying not feeling like you want to die...

the_syco · 31-07-2009 9:12am

A once off, no big deal. If it happens often, that's bad, and can he a detrimental effect on you.

GirlatdRockShow · 31-07-2009 1:20pm

op,are you a girl?
you should probably try to find out what bhappened with the guy in the car......you know...just in case
otherwise,just forget about it,or pretend like it never happened,works for me!

poisonated · 31-07-2009 2:55pm

Men are as likely to be raped as women. You just wont hear about it as there's such a huge stigmata still attached to it. Is it true that it's incredibly hard to prove if a male has been raped if he had an erection? Obviously I'm know legal eagle (hate that saying, but it does rhyme ..) so I could be wrong.

Nights like that were the reason I gave up drinking, OP. I just realised that it wasn't for me anymore. Some people can't understand why I drink as little as I do.

I can't remember
