Anxiety and depression for days after binge drinking

The black depression lasts about 6 days, it starts to get better after that. ps there is hope (Pray)

Are you feeling better? I'm on day four of feeling like this and it's exhausting and won't go away. Looking for hope that it will end

Came back to this thread for strength. New Years I usually get black out drunk, this year I will not have a sip. Reading the old posts on here really helps me remember the torture I was going through with cravings, pain and anxiety all week long.

It is most likely u suffer for panick attacks anxiety and depression your only option is to stop drinking in going through it right now in hopes it will be gone tomorrow

Here's the thing about drinking....its poison. I also suffer from many of the symptoms that others have been sharing after a binger. It's tough, drinking is a socially acceptable practice and its frustrating because like all of you, you have to worry about neurological issues for days on top of your body detoxifying itself. That being said, a strong neurological reaction to alcohol for days after drinking can often be a sign of a suppressed auto-immune or mental health problem. Like many of you, during my trashy college days, a hangover simply consisted of being tired and nauseas. Soon after college, I was sick for a long time with chronic Lyme disease. On days when I felt really sick and had even a few drinks, my mental health was absolute bonkers. I'm talking like, straight jacket crazy. If you really feel like you need escape through an altered brain state, consume cannabis instead. If you live in a state/country where they will still publicly lynch you for doing so.....then....uh...I don't know, drink every weekend and feel mentally ill all week, up to you. Only other advice if you really feel like you have to be out with the boys/girls on the weekend, find out what type of alch bothers you the least, for me its tequila and any type of spiked seltzer drink/sugarless drink.

The solution of course is to stop drinking. It's just not worth it. But also, do any of you guys tend to: - Drink a ton of water/tea/liquids - Urinate frequently - Have lightly colored, or colorless urine most of the time If so, you can greatly help those symptoms by reducing your water intake until your urine becomes yellow again (not dark orange, just bringing some color to it)

This is awful guys twice I have been through this both after drinking until I blacked out made me feel paranoid and sooooo worthless it’s happening again atm and it’s the worst thing I have ever tried to deal with reading ur comets knowing I’m not the only one helps but praying it ends soon for all of us

At the doctors just now with exactly the same. Horrendous

Im on my 4th day. Has yours stopped

I’m going through the exact same thing ... I hVe a big fear of losing my mind.. also when I sleep it’s only for a hour because I have such bad dreams... for the past 2 days I’ve only slept 2/3 hours

I completely understand where you are coming from. I drank on Sunday and it is now Wednesday and I am still a little dizzy and having some chest tightness and my head is spinning with these thoughts that something is wrong. It never occurs the day after, just the next few days following. I don't know if my body is just slower to adjusting to all the sugar from the wine, etc. I just want you to know that you are not alone. It is really frustrating.

Hi, How are you feeling? I’ve never posted on one of these before, but I’m crying out for help! Nobody seems to understand what I’m going through but reading these threads let me know I’m not alone which is refreshing. Was a weed smoker on and off for about 3/4 years and just recently stopped after a 9 month run of heavy blunt smoking. I’ve always drank but didn’t consider it to be addicting...lately I’ve been using it to deal with the ‘weed withdrawals’. I feel great while intoxicated like my anxiety and depression is gone but a day or two after I feel worse than how I felt prior (racing thoughts, obsessive thoughts of dying though I’m 24 and healthy etc.). I’m just not myself, I can barely eat because I’m so anxious and depressed, I constantly have to put on a front like I’m happy for work so people don’t notice how sad I am. Feel like I’m just going through a bad cycle and don’t know where to turn.

Hi Just returned from a trip to Eastern Europe...me and my friends basically drunk solidly for 5 days and now that we are home I have suffered chronic withdrawal symptoms with anxiety and panic attacks. I am 33 years old, but I reckon I've binged out like this for the last 15 years. I have responsibilities such as two sons, bills and work but it just seems to be a repetition of this self destructing behaviour of getting wasted and I'm desperate to stop...my anxiety usually ends me up in hospital because I panic so much and I have missed work from it. Any advice to help With controlling my drinking to stop the anxiety would be much appreciated T

A change in diet, exercise and avoiding any triggers will help. Eventually, I think people like us come to terms that we can’t even handle a sip of alcohol, because it is the biggest trigger to binge drinking there is. I chose to stop and revisit this thread for strength in times of doubt. Living in depression and anxiety is not worth a few hours of high.

im dying of shame and regret for my recent binge drink. didnt do anything too bad. just got extra loud,said stupid things to people i didnt even know,danced very badly and basically annoyed people. its not a regular thing as such cos i go out probably once a year if that. thing is im a quiet person normally so i kind of let loose .im posting this note to hopefully get it off my chest. feel worse than usual as it was a family do and a family member said to me well done you made a right prat of yourself and proceded to remind me snottily about my twattiness making the anxiety 10 times worse. thanks for that. thought id get a bit more understanding since a big part of why i drink is no doubht because depression and anxiety goes through every female on my mums side as far back as anyone can go. my mum took her own life due to this.on my dads side,the same is true of alchoholics. could say im a bit buggered really . lol.... but yesterday i gave all my wine and alcohol glasses to the charity shop. i cannot put myself through this again. it amuses most people but obviously they cant see into my head..im literally tearing myself apart inside. im on day 3 after this latest drunken debacle so on day 3 of my quitting forever. wish me luck my friends.time to break the cycle,x
