Hi all
I have had health anxiety and panic attacks for last 10 years due to worrying about getting epilepsy which is in the family.
I then had a visual disturbance in october which I mentioned on another post on here.
Before then I very often used to have a drink of wine or port etc at the end of the day and this always calmed me down a treat, which is how I think i got by all these years, it was my way out of this anxious line of thought for the time i had a drink.
Since the visual, i have been more worried about epilepsy than i ever have been and I have not touched a drop of alcohol, this I think has made me worse because I can't "relax" with a drink due to fear of it causing a possible siezure, can anyone relate to this????
Thanks :)
