Hi all,
I haven’t been diagnosed with anything yet, but I’ve started getting really bad anxiety the day after drinking. Have drank for years and been fine until recently.
Has anyone else experienced this? And is there a reason behind it?
Thanks in advance
Have you been drinking a lot and have built up a tolerance?I never had the anxiety until I was in my mis 30s and I had a problem with drinking. I had started using it as a way to cope and built up a tolerance. I drank almost every other day and the next day the anxiety was horrendous to the point I was almost suicidal. I think it was my bodies way of fighting back to the alcohol. My friends were heavy drinkers as well and they had the same anxiety and panic attacks. I'm not saying that's your problem I'm just saying my experience 🙂
funny you mention this. I too experienced the exact same thing. Drank for years then suddenly filled with anxiety then next day. Just got worse and worse. I quit drinking two years ago and poof! It’s like my anxiety disappeared. I’m not a doctor but I’m assuming it was the alcohol that was the cause of my anxiety.
Not anxiety, but I started getting a host of weird symptoms with what eventually turned out to be my chronic Hep C. One was developing a sudden aversion to alcohol. I did not desire it at all. If I had a drink (I had a decades long habit of drinking at least a bottle of wine every night, so I would drink out of habit even without desire) I would not enjoy it and started drinking less and less. I also started to get hangovers even from small amounts of alcohol whereas normally I would not get a hangover unless I'd done a couple of bottles of wine the night before. I think your body may be trying to tell you something.
