Hi All,
First of all, I'm new to this so bear with me.
I have suffered from anxiety for about 3 years, starting off when I was half way through uni. I have seen many people about it..doctors/counsellors ect and have been taking Sertraline for just over a year.
I went out on saturday and had my works christmas do with a free bar - of course we took advantage. I know your supposed to drink moderately whilst on Sertraline but I really over did it this time, throwing up for the whole of the next day! Although I know now that all the alcohol would be out of my system, I cant help but find that whole experience very scary and felt like i was going to die.
What I must add is the fact that when i was 13 years old, my father died suddenly - leaving me, my brother and mum. This of course was an horrific experience in itself, but I cant help feeling that the anxiety feelings of thinking im going to die when im ill or simply hungover have stemmed from this young age experience.
Any thoughts guys - I would love to hear from anyone who understands.
Regards,
Dan
