need help clearing stuff up

[JBaus]

-relaxed, then getting uncomfortable and hot rushes and mild tingling
-dont get the usual mental confusion anymore
-no anxiety
-not worried about anything in particular
-goin to sleep feels like my mind is being roughly jerked to and from
-when going out and drinking i get a panic attack whilst drinking (just a small one) then i end up getting elated when i come off the alc and being drunk pretty much, without being drunk haha oh god..

One thing im worried about is because i dont panic about anything usually and stuff rarely bothers me (bit of an ironic sentence haha)
that these things might be genetic.. they have been getting better though.

Hi JBaus
It sounds as if you are bouncing ideas around to decide what you really think about it all. One thing I think that deep down we all know is that alcohol and panic/anxiety make a bad combination in the long run even though the alcohol may give short term escape.
Best wishes in your recovery

Oh mate, alcohol and panic is a bad idea. I haven't drank for almost 3 months now and take citalopram and I'm improving a lot. I feel better each week. Just try a bit of excercise and knock the ale on the head for a month or three. You'll see the improvement in your mind I promise man.

I have never gone this long without ale since I was 15 and I think very clearly now. Maybe, god forbid... alcohol is bad for you?!? lol

Alcohol messes with your brain function for weeks after you stop drinking. Weeks! Depending on your fitness levels, it could be even longer than that. It's also a depressant and makes your panic attacks worse the next day too. Just stop drinking and exercise is my advise.
