Hi

I tend to binge drink, something which I am trying to stop at the minute. However, I drink to take away the anxiety but I always drink far too much and the next day I feel like I am going to die. I feel ok til the alcohol has gone from my system then I start to feel dizzy and extremely ill.. I seem to have an hour as well where I go really lightheaded, sweating hot and cold, my legs ache and my muscles shake but my heart rate does not rise I dont get butterflies or overbreathing - the things I would normally associate with a panic attack. The fear I feel though is absolutely awful I am literally riveted to the bed just waiting for something to happen and I will die. Im laid there thinking over and over im ok im ok and thinking how I wouldnt be able to tell my mum I love her before I died and how ashamed of me she would be if I died because I drank too much. I dont understand it, Ive had my liver and everything checked and Im fine and my other friends will have the same amount to drink as me but they will be up and at work and fell fine. Has anyone else ever had this type of thing?

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.

Hi

Yeah I have asked for help Im just waiting for an appointment. I havent been on a binge for a week now and I have only had two drinks in the evening. I spent a long time thinking I was ok but i dont think I am. The anxiety I have when hungover has started to scare me really badly and thats one of the reasons I have cut down. Maybe panic has a good use after all!
