Anxiety and depression for days after binge drinking

I have every problem on this page.I binge drink for about 3 day or some times up to a fortnight. hangovers include shaking, jerking, extreme paranoia feeling like iv done something wrong and people are out to get me,being sick head aches, sweetiness, stickiness,no sleep for about 3 days and if i do sleep its only for about ten minutes and the night mares are extremely scary. i go through the worst pain imaginable but i still cant help drinking.beer is the devil. first it takes you then your family then your pride and dignity then your die alone. I HATE IT i wish it was never invented. If anyone can help me out of this dark hell i am in plz do. Thank you

have experienced the same thing i know it has to do with too much alcohol into your system at once, b6 b12 deficient . yeah alcohol totally depletes your system. Drinking alcohol too late in the night interfers with hormone production testosterone and growth h, and interupts the necessary systems for deep sleep. note sleep well wont get the feeling. Eat well to counteract this strawberrys, oranges, beef some of these has a calming effect. Drink alot of water before you go to sleep after you drink with maybe a b-12 pill or eat a steak. note those nights u eat something like a steak you feel ok the next day. Pot dont smoke this too late this interferes with hormone production to, having 2 in your system not good.

i feel lie im heading this way. I have already been to prison for assualting a guy while drun and have worked hard to get my life on track and dont want to lose everything again. I know i need to stop drinking for good. thans for sharing

hello i have just found this site and i also have been living the same life as yourself and have had enough. I would lie to wish you luck and say a prey for you. Can I ask how you have done? i have had my last drin from this day because i cannot take it anymore

I have just found this site and i am going through the same stuff with alcohol as you. I would like to wish you luck and for myself as i am going to try and abstain fromm booze all together as i just cant take it anymore.

Hi Nick, your post caught my attention because I am just like you. I just really want to quit its s*** or get off the pot. I know what I have to do .....just fight it and win I wasn't born with an alcohol bottle when I was little. Thank you for your post! I'm glad to know I'm not sick just have to battle this disease.

I am also in the same problem. Can you please help me? How do you feel now? Thank you

I also binged for four days, and I feel the same symptoms. Please let me know how are you now? In how much time do you feel good? Thank you

So I have all of the same. tried to stop but am too rubbish to, not down the same path as drinking in the day now though :). If I drink a little I'm ok, if it's a lot, the next day I have panic attacks and upset tummy. What medications are recommended (other than not drinking!)?

Adrenaline. Energy drinks tax your adrenals into overload. 20 energy drinks will probably damage your adrenals, and if so, you could encounter all sorts of hormonal imbalances beyond panic attacks and anxiety if you continue to rage like that. Additionally, alcohol is terrible for your blood glucose levels and energy levels, due to it's similar impact on adrenal function. If you're drunk as hell and hyper as hell, you're confusing your body with an unnatural state of high adrenaline that is artificial and surreal, thus, your body is going to require many days to recover, and many more days to repair the damage your putting on your adrenals, and as a result, your endocrine and nervous system. In essence, if you like the idea of becoming mentally ill, developing bipolar, or persistent anxiety from nervous damage, keep this up.

You're living on adrenaline. Energy drinks tax your adrenals into overload. 20 energy drinks will probably damage your adrenals, and if so, you could encounter all sorts of hormonal imbalances beyond panic attacks and anxiety if you continue to rage like that. Additionally, alcohol is terrible for your blood glucose levels and energy levels, due to it's similar impact on adrenal function.... Which is basically your "feel good" hormone that will contribute to cortisol levels in your body. When they're off, you're off. If you're drunk as hell and hyped up on energy drinks as much as you say you are, you're going to throw off your biology. Such an artificial state of high adrenaline is going to require many days to recover, and many more days to repair the damage you're putting on your adrenals. Overtime, this will add up and you'll probably experience anxiety, panic, as well as chronic fatigue, irritability, and mood swings. In essence, if you like the idea of developing bipolar, addison's disease, or persistent anxiety from nervous damage, keep this sort of lifestyle up.

Its funny I am sitting here after a  four day binge a week later and I have not drank becasue of the fear of the anxiety and sickness that comes with getting better. I think to write on here but then again say, who cares what I go through, as I read all the posts here I think Oh my goodness how many people in the world are like this?God help us all because i need ALL the help I can get. Can I ask is there anyone out there that has beat this problem?It's almost like the person i used to be before drinking has drowned and as I walk up to the water with a drink in my hand I look into the water and see myself.....there just dead, I dont know how to save the person in the water becasue that is the old me...how do I get HER back? I really wonder why we all have to go through this, then I say we don't we are in control of our decisions, how do I (we) beat this? Is anyone out there that feels like I do or am I really all alone? Please tell me .....I really need to reach out to someone and get answers, Please!

I also get this you feel like youve done something terribly wrong, like you didn't act the right way or you didn't act how you thought you should of acted it is horrible but because this happens to you after you drink does it mean you normally get anxiety.. ???

I am so glad I am not the only one that feels like this.I don't usually drink because I know what I am like and I say things that I would never ever tell anyone. Anyway I had going away drinks with work mates as I was leaving that job and I got absolutely wasted and said lots of embarrassing things and my behaviour was shocking! I was soooo glad I didn't have to go back to work on the Monday - these past two weeks I have been feeling really low and just really hating myself. I already have anxiety and I know that alcohol only makes it worse because I worry what ppl will think of my behaviour and the embarrassing things I said. I definately know I have to stop drinking - I honestly thought I had grown up out of that kind of stuff but obviously not :(

I only binge drink when I feel uncomfortable in social settings typically. I have probably binge drank at least 10 times in the past three years. Since I was a child, I've had a history of anxiety, and depression. So, my false logic was that if I built up a bit of liquid courage, I would feel more at ease with myself, and more social. It would take off the edge. Things would start out great, I would feel pretty numb. But depending on the situation my anxiety would sometimes increase while I was still drinking. Eventually, that liquid courage would turn into liquid stupidity. Usually, I'd end up humiliating myself in front of friends, and acquaintances alike. After becoming somewhat incoherent, and mortifying myself I'd fade out for a bit. Experience extreme insomnia, depression, and anxiety. I'd often cry. Spill my guts out to people that I barely knew, and didn't trust. My rational thinking wasn't all there. When I'd wake up after my binge, the humiliation was crippling. It ate away at me almost every time. I would be depressed, and experience insomnia, loss of appetite, and depression for days. Sometimes weeks. Actually, I recently binge drank for the first time in months. The reason as per norm was social anxiety again. I told myself I'd only have a drink or two like I always do... But of course that didn't happen. I wasn't myself at all. I was filled with so much anxiety at this party I talked at a manic speed, and the alcohol just made it worse. I lost potential friends because of my stupid behavior, and comments. This has happened a few times when I binge drank in the past as I mentioned earlier. I never want to binge drink again... I'm still trying to recover from the humiliation. It's therapeutic reading this comments because it reminds me that I am not alone. Thank you all so much for sharing your stories. It takes a lot of courage.
