Anxiety while drinking

Lately I have been afraid to drink alcohol because I hate the feeling of being tipsy. I feel so out of control of my body and that’s where most of my anxiety comes from. I’ve never had this problem before and it’s frustrating because I actually want a beer sometimes. I don’t know what to do 😩

If alcohol has negative effects on how you are feeling don't have it.

Eventually you won't want it.

Some people have to stop caffeine as it impacts their anxiety.

It's all about choices and how you want to feel.

I can completely relate to this, I stopped drinking for 2 years because I had such a massive panic attack while really drunk. Eventually though I tried to stop thinking about it and had a couple one night after much coercion! Now I don’t drink very often because I can’t just switch off and enjoy it because I over think things. Maybe just have a wee break and then you can gage it from there. Hope you feel better x
