The Fear

Carlowgirl · 05-05-2015 09:22PM #1

Hi not sure if this is the right place to be posting. Just wondering is anyone else suffering from the fear out there.. I have it very bad after one nights drinking and don't know how to get rid of it. I have talked to my friends and they have said I was fine and that we were all drunk, but nothing anyone says to me can convince me otherwise:D.. Please help

Search for your name on Youtube.
Give up drink.

Your friends are just waiting for you to get over it before they tell you

Whatever you've imagined the reality is probably worse

It takes a bit more than a day.

No cure for now, just stop drinking so much. Get merry then chill, no strong stuff, and have a aul kebab afterwards to soak it up and sober up a bit.

If it causes you to feel this bad then it's suggested not to do it in future

Carlowgirl · 05-05-2015 09:28PM

Wow ,... thanks I really feel better that whatever I imagined its probably worse. That really makes me feel better...
I don't drink a lot , think that might have something to do with it.. its a bit of a shock to my system..

Did you have a panic/anxiety attack?

Symptoms: Difficulty breathing, feeling very hot, difficulty with vision, a feel of impending doom, not being able to drive?

If you did one way to remedy this is to have cognitive behaviour therapy.

When you think the whole world is out to get you after drinking alcohol. That you have done something really bad and were the only person in the world that was drunk

This is ah you're not going to get tea and sympathy

@ zeffabelli some people who blackout after a nights drinking spend pretty much the duration of their hangover trying and failing to remember stuff and concocting all sorts of scenarios about whatt they did hence, the fear

Getting plastered and wondering if you felt up somebody in the smoking area before the bouncer ****ed you out, then wondering how the hell you got home and if you told your best friends to go **** themselves...and wondering where all your money has gone and thinking to yourself how a full uneaten doner kebab ended up in your pocket.

Something like that.

just feeling impending doom..re running things over in my head , multiplying them by 1000 and generally feeling very embarrassed. I don't go out a lot , I can go out and not get drunk but this time, I really did the dog on it.. feel like lying low for a while

you need to jump in a cardboard box like a cat, it makes them feel safe.

Jaysis that's fairly mild for the fear

retro:electro · 05-05-2015 09:33PM

I actually hate when people go on about the fear. Ya we get it you were drunk last night and now you're hungover aren't ya great. Not you personally op, I just hate how people glorify how hungover they are. We all feel sh1t after a night on the sauce, big deal get over yourself.

Actually for people who blackout -- not me I don't -- it can be terrifying. It's not like saying " I've a hangover so I'm in my pyjamas all day" it's a genuine fear of what happened.

Thankfully I haven't had many episodes over the years...mostly because I only drink beer and don't end up spending 40 extra notes on shorts like some idiots.

Ya and I get that, it's just the overuse of it to glorify how drunk they were annoys me.

Ok, gonna go sleep it off. Tommorrows another day

That's a panic attack. I constantly re run things in my head, over examine

situations and conversations.

Alcohol doesn't help. I don't go out much myself. I tend to

lie low too. I try and beat my demons by facing them - not easy, but I force

myself.

That's not a panic attack. A panic attack is a lot worse. It's a bad hangover only.

This is the following day! It can't get much worse than this! Seriously need to cop myself on!

Gets worse and worse as you get older OP. And it has nothing to do with being blacked out and omg totes morto from your unremembered actions out on the town. The dehydration and other negative effects of drink change your brain chemistry and increases anxiety.

Only thing for it is eating and drinking a lot of water the next day as well as being active. Which are pretty much the last things you're interested in when you're feeling mouldy like that.
