    The vast majority of the symptoms of "the fear" are basically just hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).

    When someone goes on a bender, they are consuming vasts amount of sugars for hours on end (sometimes days) and you pancreas, liver and (especially) adrenals are on overtime bringing your sugars down and so when you suddenly stop .. you get a short spell of low blood sugar while your body re-balances.

    Teenagers of course no nothing of this as they have brand spanking new adrenals that haven't been worn out over time.

    And so, smoothies are perfect for hangovers that reason as they are full of the particulars vitamins (and sugars) your body is needing. Far better than juicing as that would just make you even more jittery.

    Can we not just have a fry up and a ****? :(

    :pac:

    Not together btw :o

    Never had the fear, surely only people who regularly drink excessively get it?

    That's kind of been the point of the thread...

    OP, it's physical. You need to get exercise (bring water or a fizzy drink with you on a two-hour-long cycle. You need to eat better (plenty of greens and a balanced diet). You need to get some Vitamin D (cod-liver-oil tablets). You need to stop drinking alcohol altogether for a while at least.

    And you need to stop worrying and start planning. Being 32, single and flat-sharing isn't a big deal in the times that are in it. But if you want to change that you have to plan your way out, rather than go crazy drinking and have it all crash in on you.

    And for God's sake don't pay attention to people on Boards who make smart-alec comments mocking your pain. These are not your friends.

    It was called the horrors until the hipster kids got their hands on it.

    Embrace it, once you know the worst thing in the world isn't going to happen, it'll be grand.

    Quoted from Oxford(Dundalk) English Dictionary
    "The Fear"- when one is paralysed with emotional regret usually from the over stimulus of alcohol and or yokes in ones system.
    Modern North-Eastern medicine usually includes whinging to friends about a new life and future soberity etc or frequent a local ale-house and start the madness all over again!

    OP you dont have anything chronic, your just "dieing" so to speak

    a quilt, tea and tv box sets are the only things that can solve The Fear. If you can solve the Fear with more alcohol you dont have it; your either not there yet or you wont get it as your a functioning alcoholic.

    Terrible fear last night!

    Had a really disturbing nightmare too...which actually would be a great (original) premise for a horror movie! :D

    Definitely time to cut back again for a while.

    Ya sure that's not periods you're thinking of there?

    Hipster kids are a pestilence on mankind, no question about it but the fear actually came from Withnail & I also.

    After it came out whenever someone felt panicky while smoking a joint, someone would inevitability joke that they had "the fear" but overtime it it just started being said whenever someone was going through alcohol induced DTs also.

    In the nightmare, I was in a Stephen King novel!! In the nightmare I was googling the book to see what happened in the end, but I couldnt get away from the psycho chasing me long enough to find out how it ended.

    I woke up thinking sh*t, is that actually a stephen king book?? But it definitely wasnt!!

    Would be a great movie, wonder who'd play me....

    Are you like your avatar? How about this fine actress

    That sounds like a great nightmare! Great when you wake up and realise it wasn't real...

    ..unless my theory of dreams/nightmares preparing you for the same mental stress that may happen in the future is true! Then we're both f*cked! :pac:

    Edit: Just remembered a text I sent the girlfriend last night! So out of character. God I'm idiot with the fear!

    Also, I wonder does EdenHazard's fear entail never getting a shag on a night out again!?

    I always thought The Fear was the same as having a panic attack which from personal experience frightened the life out of me but I have never had The Fear as described on this thread and Im 41 and considering I have just done a 2 day bender for stag and am in work and still not got it must mean I am immune to it :D

    So, yeah.. I have the fear. I avoided it for most of the weekend by just continuing to drink everytime I felt it coming on,

    Hello alcoholism.

    To the non high horsers suffering from varying levels of the fear - I too would love some spooning action as I might cry... I've made it this far though. Three hours and I am a ghost to this place.

    I had the fear saturday morning.... I remember while swiggin on a quadruple vodka and OJ friday eve that it would be a great idea to add loads of x Girlfriends to my facebook and send them messages along the lines of the following

    "Hai.. no way hows u lung time hun any sca wiv ya"
    "jebuz no way juz creepin thru fb seen u der thought might say hI"

    needless to say my facebook profile has still not been reactivated :o:o:o
