Hi Guys
Here I go rambling again!
I have a problem with alcohol, I like it! Unfortunately it has made me depressed lately so needs to go for a little while or at least have a few days without it every week:)
I have never drank during the day but got in a rut going to the pub everynight after I had finished work. I have broken this habit for the last 5 days, but I feel down and miss my friends at the pub. My husband is very supportive and has told me that I drink far too much for a woman. In the last 5 days I have drank to units per night (glass of wine), but understand that I must break this cycle.
At the moment I feel depressed and anxious at certain times of the day. The thing I am finding very difficult at the moment is instrusive thoughts, is this a side affect of the anxiety? For example I love my husband and 2 little dogs to bits, but then something comes into my mind that says "hurt them", I got all panicky upset and worried that my life will always be like this.
Can someone help me with this please? In have never had counselling or CBT but have just enrolled in the CBT4 Panic as on this site I just need to download and print off.
