After a night of binge drink and blacking out my life has changed and hasn't been the same why...???????

[E2013]

Hi I'm 27 years old I weigh 125 pounds and new to this site ,on July 23 I went to a wedding and I had lots of alcohol within a short period of time and blacked out . My sister came to pick me up because I was so drunk, when I arrived home I was completely incoherent I couldn't speak couldn't stand on my own seemed as if I wasn't breathing right that's what I was told. so I fell asleep on the kitchen floor. The next morning I woke up not even understanding how I got to my sisters or the end of that binge drinking night . Sine that next morning I woke up not the same I have had severe anxiety and panic attacks I feel like my brain is fogged I don't feel I act the same I can't be alone I'm afraid of something happening to me I have very rapid heart palpitations I don't feel the same way that I used to prior to that night. I feel like I am all of a sudden very irritable with my boyfriend of eaight years I have trouble concentrating and I feel totally disconnected from life ,things don't seem real around me . I haven't drank alcohol since july23,2016 and I even cut out all caffeine the next day as well .I started taking medication and it's helped with the anxiety but I still feel like my brain is fogged and disconnected . I just want to know has this happened to anyone else from drinking to much and blacking out because since then my life has changed and hasn't been the same. Can someone please help me figure out if I have caused a chemical imbalance maybe or from the binge drinking did I mess something up in my brain ??? I want my life back and I want to know if this happened to anyone else can drinking so much socially really do all this to someone I would usually drink on occasion after work like 2x or 3 x a week and weekends .

The disconnection feeling like nothing is real is called Derealization. I suffered from it, but not from drinking. Mine came from a marijuana induced panic attack. I recovered but near my cycles I get extreme anxiety and paranoia and feelings of impending doom. I also get very irritable with my bf and mostly everyone around me. So since then I do still suffer from the symptoms of it.

Thanks for the info, that is a horrible feeling and I wouldn't wish any of this on my worst enemy . When you say marijuana induced what do you mean by that ? Because I was thinking what if I was drugged or something when I wasn't able to say no due to my baligerance ?

Hi E2013, It sounds like you had alcohol poisoning which is very serious. It would have been better to have been sent to the ER instead of sleeping it off on the kitchen floor. They would have addressed the imbalance in your system and given you IVs to rehydrate you. Alcohol at that level does effect both the body and the mind. It wouldn't be a bad idea to see your doctor and let him know what happened and how you are reacting to it now. Wish you well.

[E2013 in reply to Agora1]

Yea I was thinking alcohol poisoning because I never threw up that night either . I had about 5 glasses of wine full plus 3 or 4 shots

[Agora1 in reply to E2013]

E2013, that would do it. It throws off our chemistry as well as becoming severely dehydrated. The next day we feel physically ill which can start anxiety to rise. I wish you well.

My own 27y.o. daughter went through this after turning 21. It happens. x

Thanks for the response did she struggle with the same similar symptoms ? How long did it last for her I'm going on two months

[Agora1 in reply to E2013]

I think it shook her up enough when her friends brought her home passed out in the back of the car and I immediately called the paramedics and she was brought into the ER.

She drinks on rare occasions with friends for special events and always gets a migraine after 2 drinks.

Could your drinks have been spiked?

[E2013 in reply to stde]

That's what I was thinking but I'm not sure

[Agora1 in reply to stde]

That's always another possibility...

I've had a traumatic experience like that with alcohol and i have not been the same since. You're not alone and it sucks feeling the way we do.

Maybe worth asking your doctor yo check your vitamin B12 level. This can be depleted for a number of reasons.

As soon as I went on a B12 mouth spray (garden of life B12) my anxiety lifted.

Also maybe worth looking at starting to take magnesium. Google Wellness Mama and magnesium. She explains it pretty well.

My health recover came from doing my own reading and research online. If I were you I woukd dig deep online into alcohol poisening and ideally go see s natural health doctor.

Last think you want is more drugs put in your body. Going all natural has healed me. It's surprising what nature really is capable of x

Hello there. Maybe talking to your doctor and explaining the whole thing and see what they have to say.. Sometimes stressing about something way to much can cause a lot of problems. Maybe your dwelling on it way to much. Or maybe something in your body is off. It could honestly be anything but I'm sure there is an answer somewhere ☺ you know your body and you know something is off. Hope you get better soon ☺
