I gave in... :(

3 Replies

I quit drinking for awhile because it makes my anxiety and depression wack and in that time I found happiness again and felt so good, it has been awhile since I felt that good. But then, I gave in and drank with a guy that's been messing with my emotions. And now I'm right back into my anxiety and depression. My anxiety had me feeling tingally a little dizzy like, my thumb was even twitching, I was jumpy, palms sweaty, fast heart beat. And once again I'm to my lowest... I feel bad I just wanna get my life together and start going down the right path...

Hello

Well done and give yourself some credit !

You recognized drink was making everything worse so you stopped , then someone played with your emotions which will make everyone weaker so you had a drink and it has made you feel worse but again you have realized this and so you will stop again , this all takes some will power :-)

I think when we are so down people can take advantage of us , nothing to do with us more them because they do this , I would wait till I was in a better place within myself and once you are then it shines through and you will attract nicer people to be in your life :-)

Are you getting any support from your Doctor ? whether you are or not I would speak with them about how you are feeling at the moment and you always can come on here and chat with others who will relate to you :-)

Take Care x

Well first off, if you felt good before you can feel good again! People with anxiety are really sensitive to the world around them, so I feel like it's important we cut out all negative people from our lives for the sake of our brain. As for the alcohol thing, I don't really have any experience in that area so I don't have any great advice. But personally, I think you should look for a group to talk to? If something like that is available to you.

Same here. My now ex boyfriend has been making my anxiety hell for me. He completely messes with my emotions...I am an ex drinker, but he's been upsetting me so much I ended up having two beers to calm down a few weeks ago, boy did I regret it. It sucks for us because these dudes have no consideration for our feelings or struggles. My ex knows of my condition, yet he still chose to mess with my head. I am sorry for you, I totally understand through my own frustrarions. But alcohol isn't the answer, it made my anxiety turn into depression and now I have nothing but bad days. Don't give up trying and neither will I. Thanks for sharing.
