Why now?

[temperancebrennan]

I've had a brilliant day. Went to the German markets, had a couple of cocktails in a bar, saw one of my favourite live bands, had a friend around to watch comedy tv shows & he's only just fallen asleep. Yet I'm now here shaking, feeling dizzy & outside of my own body & cannot get to sleep due to anxiety symptoms. Why does this happen after a great day?! Surely I should be able to sleep after a full day. But it's a new day now & I've not slept a wink :(

I know the feeling!! Had a great day , I had a few glasses of wine before I went to sleep then bam!! Woke up in a panic after a couple hours.... Maybe the booze ??? Not a good thing for us?

Yeah I think alcohol can sometimes trigger anxiety. I didn't drink yesterday, but I did have a great day spent with my little niece and nephew out shopping, dining and playing. It was great until night time, then BAM! I've had 3 hours of sleep. I feel ya. I especially hate when anxiety pops up after a seemingly great day. Hope you feel better soon.
