Alcohol hangover anxiety :(

holiday heart. that is something i have never heard of before now. googled it and it said that if it lasts for more than a few hours to seek immediate medical attention and that made me laugh. when i go to the ER the the doctor treats me like a piece of shit drug addict and offers me no help other than an injection of ativan if i am lucky. last time i had a seizure in the waiting room (was also trying to kick benzos) so they put me in a wheel chair and gave me a bucket to keep vomiting in, in front of everyone else in the waiting room for a long time until they finally found a bed for me to fucking convulse in for like another hour or two and the doctors exact words were "i'm not going to bail you out of this. you need to take responsibility for your own life" and sent me home. responsibility? they are the motherfuckers that got me hooked on this fucking hellish drug. sorry, i am just venting at this point, but i have grown to fucking hate doctors. i realize they need to grow thick skin in order to do their job but in my experience most are fucking sociopaths
 
I remember once I drank a bit too much, well actually it wasn't too much I was feeling great but after the car trip to get back home I puked and began to feel a bit bad.
the morning after I felt like absolute shit with anxiety too (not extreme but very unpleasant) but when I drank a coke everything went magically away.
I don't know if it was a coincidence because when I drink I (almost) never go overboard so I haven't had the chance to try again, but it worked wonderfully.
 
alcohol lowers your blood sugar which can make you shaky and nervous. the coke which is loaded with sugar probably gave your body what it needed

btw, your location "the land of football, pizza and the mafia" please tell me you are from chicago lol
 
I've had crippling anxiety for most of my life but it's been entirely under control the last two years. The only time I feel like my old miserable self is when I go overboard on the downers. If I get even a little drunk I pay for it the next day or two with anxiety and depression. The worst time was when I did 8 mg etizolam and drank on top of it (not sure how much, I have no memories after I popped the last pill). Normally I'm extremely careful and precise about dosage but both alcohol and benzos make me into a fucking idiot which is why I generally avoid them. The week after I did this I had panic attack level anxiety 24/7. Had I not previously taken a course on mindfulness I probably would have gone back to being agoraphobic. If I was in your position I definitely would have popped a few pills to hold it down temporarily but that's probably just gonna make it worse in the end.

no. i wish i did. when i was 5 or 6 years old my father said "we are americans. only english will be spoken in this house from now on". i understand where he was coming from. immigrants are treated like shit in america which is ironic since the U.S. is stolen land that is now filled with and was built by immigrants. they call america the great melting pot but if you arent just some white mutt with no real heritage you are the sticky burnt on scum at the bottom of that pot. i can still understand a few words since i grew up in an italian neighborhood in chicago, enough to sometimes get a general idea of what they are talking about but that is all. i wanted i learn italian in school but was too embarrassed because most of my friends were italian and an italian learning to speak italian was something they would have thought less of me about
 
interestingly enough though i do speak cebuano, but cant fluently spell it. was engaged to a filipino bitch for 4 years and lived with her family for 3 of them. they mix a lot of english words in with their dialect so its really not hard to learn
 
i tried to add you but am not able because im still a noob. but italians are the greatest thing to happen to modern society. if you flush a toilet, enjoy indoor plumbing, air conditioning in your home, have to have brain surgery, like to bathe more than twice a year, ect. say grazie to an italian because the romans invented all that shit 2,000 years ago. the persians and chinese are close contenders but i am obviously biased

i am glad you are doing better now. i have gone through phases where my anxiety is completely gone and i am a normal confident person but something always happens and brings it back and gets worse each time that happens so i try to stay fucked up. i have PTSD like a motherfucker. i am legally insane, not allowed to vote and yada yada. there is no winning for me until i find the right drug or die. if i am sober, all i feel is regret, terror, and depression. at my sons birthday party a balloon popped and i hit the floor and covered my head and then tried to laugh it off like it was a joke but people could tell i was really afraid. i prefer to slowly drink myself to death and pop pills and feel nothing
 
I'm sorry to hear you're not doing better, I really feel for you man. Anxiety is an awful, awful thing and most people still look down on it which makes it even shittier. Have you looked into mindfulness and meditation? I hate to sound like such a shill but it genuinely changed my life so I tend to bring it up to everyone I know with anxiety issues. I thought it was complete bullshit and I only went out of desperation but one day it clicked and I found myself in a much better state of mind. Benzos work but they have major downsides and medicating with alcohol is definitely not healthy.
 
I used to get the hangovers like your talking about with all those same emotions. I never went to the ER and maybe that has to do with the benzos. I dont know. And like you it just kept getting worse as i got older and like you i am an alchoholic.

Its crippling and for me, there was no way i was gonna feel like that all day so i would just keep drinking. I would keep it cool for the day but be pretty drunk ny the time i went to bed. The things that helped me were drinking more, lots of herb, sex, big burrito, valium if i ever had any, and gatorade is good too.

Just be careful with that cycle of drinking, hangover, drinking. Its a loop i almost didnt make it out of. I had some shit happen to me that got me down on life and i went on my best binge yet. I almost died and had a .45 bac when i went to the hospital where i spent 3 days laying there with all kinds of machines hooked up to me. i have had my fair share of pills in my life but nothing compares to the big guns they have in hospitals for situations like i was in. Makes anything on the street seem like flinstones kids vitamins. That was almost 4 years ago and i havent touched the shit again and hopefully never will.
 
propranolol is good after a heavy binge drinking session it slows the heart lowers blood pressure and gets me feeling better well that and some paracetamol. Plus the doctors in the UK dont mind handing it out ask for that and see if it works, it actualy got me off the drink as it broke the cycle of drink anxiety drink anxiety. now I drink as the occasion occurs like at functions party's.and never everyday. Nowadays I used to call the anxiety the horrors

I cant speak for where your from but the experience that i have had here on the west coast living in California my whole life and now a recent move to the northwest is immigrants are treated good and some might say almost better than the citizens born here. In California and other states there was and still is a increase of Latinos to the population. They have just has many rights as i do even if there not citizens yet. Some would say they have more breaks than others.

I really hope no one calls me a racist for sayin anything here as that is the last thing i am. Its facts with no prejudiced behind it and i lived there so i feel i can say that.

Now here in the northwest and in particular the area im in as a strong workforce of African natives. People that were born in Africa and have reached the u.s. by a number of ways. They get 6 months free here and in that time they go to classes that show them basically how to live here in this country. Getting a job, paying rent, saving money, how certain systems work, and they are given a job through that program. At my job they are also free to practice whatever religion they have and are given time to observe there prayers and they arent questioned for it.

They are hard working people and play a big and crucial part in the communities up here.

There is a strong Asian community up here as well and they are highly respected. They are some of the top technology innovators in the world working for Microsoft and other companies here. Their are many groups run by the Asian community that hold close their heritage and where they come from

So i dont agree with your statement. At least out here today its not. I cant say for your area or back when people were first coming over here in large groups from other countries to that area.

I wouldnt call it a stolen land either. I dont agree with what was done to retain this land but its no different than what has happened in history since man has been able to conquer lands. Still stands today. If someone wants to come in and try and take the land, by all means they can try and do that. If they succeed, well then its their land for the time, till someone else comes in and tries to take it.

There is no part of this planet that totally belongs to anyone. As far as Im concerned were all guests here. Or if you wanna get technical its the animal kingdoms land and it belongs to them.

This might sound funny but I use to always drink Pedialyte for hangovers. BTW tomorrow I will have a full week sober after 3 1/2 years of non stop drinking. A fifth a day is what sent me to the ER last Tuesday.
