Hey guys, i've been diagnosed with generalised anxiety and health anxiety and would like some help and advice regarding somethin that has just become a major issue to me.
My anxiety is under control for the most part and i can function fairly normally. But i've just come back from a weeks holiday with my mates and i feel terrible.
Wot happened is that during the holiday i had a couple of major drinking sessions, to the point you cant remember a thing and the whole nite is just a blur. I must add that i dont drink regularly, but when i do, i usually drink a lot. Am terrified now coz throughout the hol my anxiety went through the roof and pretty much ruined it for me. What effect does a bad hangover have on your anxiety?
I was confined to my room for most the hol coz i couldnt bear being around anyone. i was scared i was going to have a fit or collapse or somethin, the top of my neck and shoulders were in so much pain and i was quite twitchy which was really alarming. i couldnt concentrate on anythin or socialise coz i was so worried about what was happenin to me. Everytime i left the appartment or went near the pool it got worse! I just felt i was goin to pass out any second.
Then i fuelled my health anxiety by reading that alcohol poisoning can give you irreversible brain damage. Now i'm terrified i had alcohol poisoning and have damaged my brain permanently. I got back a couple of days ago and although am a wee bit better, i still feel pretty awful.
Does this just sound like bad anxiety caused by a bad hangover or somethin more serious?can a take a while for the alcohol flush out your system?
Any advice would be much appreciated,
Cheers, Munster
