Afternoon guys!

So the girls at work want to go out for drinks etc tonight... before all this anxiety, I was abit of a party animal (A MASSIVE ONE) I was always up for going out. It was my favourite thing to do. Since all this "health" anxiety I havent really been out much... which is now over a year and a half... and I'm worrying myself, what if alcohol makes me worse, triggers something ie a heart attack. All these stupid things I'm looking into, over something so normal that I should be doing at the age of 27. I'm stuck :(

Hello

I understand Health anxiety and believe me a drink will not give you a heart attack I am sure but I would try not and be a party popper :-D but will say try not to over do it with the drink as sometimes it can make us feel more anxious and even the day after so have a few and enjoy yourself , this could do you good socializing again and I hope you have a lovely time

How about opening a cupboard or something just before you go out looking all glam and saying right anxiety in you go get in this cupboard and stay there , I am having a night of and going to enjoy myself and you are not invited :-/

Take Care x

My story to the T. Well last night my girlfriends invited me out for a night out so I just said I'm going to do it and I went. I had like 4 shooters and a couple of other drinks but eventually stopped and drank water I had a really fun night must say . This morning I felt a bit off but made an electrolyte 1 lt drink just to put everything back in my body must say help alot.

Drinking definitely increases anxiety but do in moderation.

And always be safe.

God bless

2 tablespoons of pink salt. 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. 2 tablespoons of honey or sugar I just don't drink sugar at all.

Add everything in hot water make it 1lt and drink after you stop drinking and during the night
