To drink or not to drink..

[Squeak1993]

I really want to enjoy my Easter Sunday and go to the pub and have a few G&Ts. But I'm really scared it's going to trigger off my anxiety even more.. What does everyone think??

I love me some wine but just stopped drinking for now as it elavates my anxiety every time. To me it's just not worth it...

[Squeak1993 in reply to Cares179]

Oh I loveeeeeee me some wine but I'm just assuming G&Ts are a little more gentle.. You're probably right , it's not worth it is it. I'll let you know if I succumb to temptation or not x

You probably will become anxious because it's what you fear will happen!!. Don't bother, drink a non alcoholic drink and just enjoy what you can of the day.

Do it !!!

I want to drink too but I know is not good for my anxiety. But I don't know what to do rightnow. I want to cry, I prayed all night and I still feel like crap😭

Hello

I think maybe one would not harm but drink can leave you feeling anxious as it is wearing of but go out & enjoy yourself , we do not have to have alcohol to do that there are so many non alcohol drinks we can have instead

Take Care x

I know exactly what you mean. And I'm toying with this idea as we speak. If I'm being totally honest I think it's okay to have a couple but don't over do it. I used to drink gin a lot and my anxiety was so bad the next day that I now avoid it. I actually googled to see if there was something in gin that triggered anxiety but couldn't find anything. Maybe try another drink.

I just had a double G&T.. I feel alright. I wanted to carry on drinking but I don't want to over do it

[LibertyB in reply to Squeak1993]

I'm sure a couple will be okay. But it's just the day after that I really suffer. Have a nice evening

[Hidden in reply to LibertyB]

Magnesium would calm you the day after, that's what I find anyway, and​ a bag of Haribo !!

[Hidden]

I drink and I suffer from anxiety !! What's the worst that can happen?

I have a panic attack !

So what, nothing new there.
