Re: Alcohol anxiety AGAIN!
You were once in a coma because of excessive drinking, and you're posting here asking people not to bother telling you not to drink too much? So what is it you're actually asking us to do? Are you asking us to advise the best hangover treatment? Not sure what you're asking sorry.

By the way, didn't a school teacher somewhere in your past, show you how to use full stops and commas when writing? Without these it's really difficult reading your post sorry.
Who said i was in a coma because of drinking?i was assaulted.i left school at an early age i didnt realize this was an english class.im in a bad place and it helps to get it off my chest im sorry if i have offended anyone thats the last thing i intended

You're clearly on a path to self destruction and it may serve as a negative catalyst to other members. Seeing someone so bent on a negative path can only serve to increase the anxiety of others.
IMO, perhaps reconsidering your participation on the forum based on your situation something to ponder and consider for yourself as well as others.

I never thought of it like that i didnt want that effect on others i dont fully understand the functioning of this forum im sorry.i have never spoken so openly before anyone who knew me would never know these where my words and would laugh at me and tell me to man up.i wont post on here anymore im sorry if my posts have made anyone anxious.i know one of the effects brain damage has had on me is made me selfish and this is just another prime example

Re: Alcohol anxiety AGAIN!
Nobody has to read your posts if they don't want to. Try getting some Vallium from the doc. Take it instead of booze before and during these social occasions.

Thanks dave ive never tried diazepam for my anxiety im currently on 20mg fluoxitine and 10 mg mertrazipine at night but theyre useless.ive tried countless meds over the years but so far nothing has worked for me
Re: Alcohol anxiety AGAIN!
Maty,
I greatly dislike this "for the good of the forum" garbage argument. It comes out from some with repetitive posters and I would suggest it is discarded as this place is full of triggers. If some don't want to read it, as Dave says...and Admin have said exactly the same on multiple occasions but some just won't listen which is ironic when the same people are saying that about the posters.
You've explained before that your anxiety is about social occasions, hence using this board, and that your anxiety came after being attacked leaving a pub which left you in a coma and with brain damage. It doesn't take much understanding of anxiety to work out why!
Don't allow the odd person who disapproves push you off the forum. It's based on ignorance anyway. Admin have always opposed these individual views and promoted the forum as available to all.
It is hard knowing what to say to you. If the forum is a reassurance seeking problem, there is an argument for tackling that, but you always post after the event. On this basis, I don't expect simply leaving with clear up the true problems.
Alcohol is self medicating for you but the real issues lie underneath. Alcoholism often accompanies mental health conditions, as does any substance abuse, so these forums are still relevant and we do have such people on here anyway.

Based on the OP's behavior and habits, benzos should be avoided.

Re: Alcohol anxiety AGAIN!
I really do appreciate the reply terry thanks.i have only ever posted on here as you say after an event but this time im sat up at this time of night unable to sleep anxious about what is going to happen tommorow.i dont even know myself why i post on here because its the same thing over and over that i keep doing to myself.the only way i can avoid not having a drink tommorow is not going at all and the anxiety from not attending the birthday will last a lot longer than the few days of alcohol anxiety.it is definately a social thing i never just sit and drink at home.im getting worse after every binge ive done it for about ten years now i wish i could find an answer.even my gp says its really difficult he hasnt ever dealt with my type of anxiety after a brain injury so its just pot luck if i find a med that might help a bit
