So last night I had a few drinks with a friend (2 in total)... I woke up this morning and it felt asif I had a huge night out and I had this massive hangover - whenever Im hungover I automatically feel down and have anxiety - its just hand in hand with a hangover for me. But 2 drinks?? Seriously? Haha. I felt anxious all day but towards the afternoon I felt my thoughts changing - I felt like I was being alot more positive and happy all of a sudden and my attitude changed - It just felt like a little shift for me. I dont know exactly what it was but I feel like myself again! Hopefully this will stay! Haha x

You probably hadn't drank in a while... When you drink consistently, you build a tolerance, and you don't get hangovers that easily. And yes, once the alcohol wears off, it's anxiety and depression time. You should be fine now that it's totally out of your system. :)

Hey hun, thanks for the reply!

Yeah your totally right! I used to be the biggest party animal and now Ive calmed down abit and hardly drink anymore because I just dont enjoy it as much anymore! I do still enjoy it, but Im not mad crazy as I used to be haha like nights out every night dancing etc.. Probably because I didnt have a full time job lol. Yeah Im all good today :) hope your well x

Hi Liz maybe you were just tired after the week, the thing is that if you feel

You are a bit prone to Depressionir anxiety then drink is actually a depressant,

Even two drinks could effect you.

Anyway glad your ok now.

Alcohol is a depressant, so if you're already depressed, just one drink can make you feel even worse. It's why I try not to drink anymore x
