Hi guys!

Really happy to have found this website, thought that i was the only one and I was going slowly mad!

Been suffering from pretty bad panic attacks and anxiety for about a year now, it is mainly alcohol related i think, as I am a recently graduate student so that last few years there has been some pretty excessive drinking and socialising.

I am now in the world of working so do not have time to have as much fun, I absolutely love going out on fridays and saturdays but the next day and even the few days after i get so anxious and panicky and I cannot sleep at all so it is just not worth it any more.

Does anyone else have a similar problem? I really have cut down on alcohol consumption but still really suffering, any tips anyone has would be greatly welcomed and I'd love to chat with anyone in the same situation.

Really happy to join, I hope we can all get better together!

Jamie :yesyes:

Hi Jamie

welcome to NMP. Sorry I can't remember back to my student days (18 yrs ago!!!!!) but I sympathise. A couple of drinks does me - a skinfull isn't worth it as I suffer for days. However, as a student and for about 10 years after I partied a lot so it didn't do me any harm. Only took anxiety & depression when I'd started drinking less!!!!!!!!!!
Take care

:welcome: Jamie.

Sorry I can't help about the alcohol, I don't drink, but when I did many many moons ago, it did make my anxiety worse.
