[Leighakay]

Again, this is your panic disorder kicking in. If you're not feeling well go home and get some rest.

[Johnnie1234 in reply to Leighakay]

[Leighakay in reply to Johnnie1234]

I know the feeling all too well. Have you started your meds yet? You will get better. There is hope! Also did you order the book we talked about yet?

[Johnnie1234 in reply to Leighakay]

Well, hello Johnnie.

I'm smiling because in our last communication I was preparing to go to rest for the night and suggested you find ways to distract yourself a little at a time in order to get through the night. Never thought you would be going to a club!

Were you able to drive there ok?Or did you with someone.

Ok, if the anxiety was really getting to you and you felt you were the point where it was escalating to be unmanageable, I would have removed myself from the crowded club. Since it is about 6 a.m.now in New York, you made your decision about what to do long before this reply. Want did you decide to do?

If you are on medication, hopefully, you weren't drinking anything containing alcohol. Many meds contain warnings about that on their labels. Alcohol can really screw with the effects of many meds.

Until the anxiety started to become bad, did you enjoy yourself? I find that sometimes crowds of people make me very anxious, I hang in to see if I can manage with the anxiety and am proud of myself when I can.....finding someone who is friendly enough to chat a bit, etc. But after an hour of that, I usually get away from the people so I won't feel like I need a Xanax to calm down.

Getting anxious around a group or crowd of people is not uncommon. I hope you were able to go home and get some sleep when you did leave.

But while you were there, did you get a chance to dance? Or was this a sports bar or a neighborhood hang out where there was no dance floor?

Were you able to sleep when you got home?

[Johnnie1234 in reply to Hidden]

Hey wassup yeah it was crazy like it was like say i was standing there its a dance floor with alot of people a club people dance and they bring bottles to the table i left i said im not gonna let this take over me i was really having fun when i firdt got there i had a cup of alcohol maybe two the most and thats it i was having fun i was taking baby sips from the cups i wasnt really going that hard with the drinks but i was standing there having fun it was alot of people but the the thing was when i was standing i feel like i couldnt breath good like i was holding my breath and like a nervous feeling i felt it in my stomach up to my head like i was about to go out control and wanted to run out of the club i felt even a little dizzy idk probably of the drink or idk what it was but i felt like i was going to pass out i stayed because i fought it like it came so fast then it left then the secound time it happen again but really bad like i was forcing my self to realax like a feeling hit me like something was going to happen or i was going go past out and that nervous feeling again i was like i cant not be going crazy why is this happening to me why i cant be out enjoying my self with out that hitting me when it happen i just left my friends were like are you okay and i said yeah i just have to leave i left and i was so dizzy that when i go out of the car the door hit me in the hood i said i just need to go to sleep like i when i got home i felt so down i started telling my self im not gonna be a nobody i cant have fun because of this i was cursing and everything i was so mad like why this happen four months ago when i smoked that weed and it triggered me hard and im still like this for months later .

Johnnie...I just read your response to another reply by a member of this forum. You did leave, but you also mentioned you STILL haven't started your meds that your doctor prescribed.

We've talked about this almost every day now for over a week.You aren't "playing" me, are you? That means you tell me what you think you want me to hear, but not doing what you say you are. If you had been taking your meds, maybe the nervousness at the club might not have been as bad.....to you catch my drift?

The people here at this venue are always willing to listen and help. Maybe you need to tell them you aren't taking your rx when you reach out when your nervousness is causing problems. That might help them in their replies.

Hope you were able to sleep and that today is better. Hang in, and remember someone is always here for you.

[Hidden]

OK, Johnnie,

Last night you learned you still have anxiety and maybe alcohol doesn't help you. It's a drug just like any other drug. and it can have side effects.

But you did get out for awhile. That's cool. Crowds and a lot of stimulation get to me after awhile, too.

Again, think about taking the drug PRESCRIBED to help you.

[Johnnie1234 in reply to Hidden]

if i drink the paxil would be able to go out and drink no right that would be the wrong thing to do?

[Hidden in reply to Johnnie1234]

Johnnie,

Read your post. I can't understand it. You probably typed it too fast.

[Johnnie1234 in reply to Hidden]

i have meds for it but the thing is if i drink those meds i wouldnt be able to drink or anything right ?

[Hidden]

What do you mean by "drink or anything"?

[Hidden]

Johnnie,

If you're asking if you take your medication but also advised not to drink alcohol, that is probably the case...ask your doctor about this.

Because anxiety triggers certain "chemicals" in your body, and alcohol can also trigger similar or the same "chemicals", alcohol can really set off your anxiety....like it did last night.

So if your meds are to help you deal with anxiety, great! Take it as prescribed by your doctor.

You found out last night alcohol alone just makes your anxiety worse!

SO WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DRINK AT ALL, EVEN IF YOU DID NOT HAVE MEDICATION?

[Johnnie1234 in reply to Hidden]

yeah had no medication lastnight and i drank it was alright but guess the alcohol made me a bit little dizzy and drunk and maybe it was making me a bit nervous

[stoneym]

Have you read any of this guy's anxiety pages?

[Gill1970]

How are you feeling today?

[Johnnie1234 in reply to Gill1970]

im alright today just a little bit of my vision unreal dream like and i ate some fast food and i could feel my heart beating hard on my chest

[Gill1970]

Trust me coming from a person with derealization I understand the unreal feeling and disconnect. It's a horrible feeling.

However if I can suggest it would be best to stay away from any kind of alcohol, recreational drugs and caffeine. That kind of stuff until your anxiety is under control.

Paxil is a very good medication with great success, if it happens not to work for you there are plenty others. They are safe and the doctor's would be monitoring you. Why haven't you been taking the medication?

There are concerns for all meds, it is no different than needing medication for diabetes or blood pressure problems stuff like that. It well help and make toy feel better. Yes there are still ups and downs trust. But it's better than no help.

[Johnnie1234 in reply to Gill1970]

yeah the thing is im type nervous of taking those pills honestly and the other thing is i dont know how would i get off them dont you have to take those pills everyday and i like to go out so if i start taking those pills i cant drink right?

[Gill1970 in reply to Johnnie1234]

Yes they are daily. You ate not supposed to drink with them. You have to decide what is more important NOT feeling anxious and sick or drinking with friends etc. For me it was an easy answer.

If you start doing better the Dr can ween you off slowly. They do the same for other ailments and you need to find off the meds

[Gill1970]

*when you need to come off the meds

[Johnnie1234 in reply to Gill1970]

Yeahh because i doo have bad nerves is like one minute im fine and other i have alot of symthoms its like they try to creep on me
