okay so straight up I need someone to talk to.
Last week I drank for five nights in a row(tuesday-saturday.) I usually have mild to moderate anxiety when I'm hungover and this was the case on sunday. I made it through work pretty easily but that changed once I got home. I tried to work out lightly and in the middle of it I got this indescribable feeling of weightlessness and everything felt a little too small, like the walls were closing in. I guess an anxiety attack. That night I had trouble going to sleep despite being tired but I felt alright yesterday, maybe a little down at most. Some shit came up today so I couldn't get enough sleep before work again. I was okay at work but since I got home I've been feeling really up and down. Like I'll be fine for a while but for a random minute or so I'll get really sad for no reason. I'm exhausted but I'm afraid to go to sleep because I think I'll either not be able to and freak out or wake up worse.
anybody have any experience with something like this???

I find that when I get to that point I need to sit and internalize my problems.
I need to logically dissect them and incorporate them into my mind.
If I may play Frued I would like to ask you a few questions.
First of all.
What is the main source of your anxiety?

It pretty much started after a bad trip five years ago. It was pretty bad for a few years, then all but went away for two, and has been on and off for the past year. Nothing in particular triggers it, more of a random sense of dread and dissociation.
Right now it's more the weird sad feeling that's tripping me out.
Hey op, I'm in my mid 20s and iv gone through some stages of heavy alcohol abuse. The hangovers make me depressed, anxious and sometimes suicidal. I think it's because the chemicals get scrambled in our brains. Or its because when you're hungover it's near impossible to get motivated for shit, even stuff you like, hence you feel like a worthless piece of shit. Be select with your booze hounding. We aren't kids anymore.

In my opinion there is always some sort of underlying stress or trauma.
Do you feel like life is not quite "real" sometimes?
>>675432931
>started after a bad trip
don't be stupid faggot, drugs are good for you. i read it on the cheech and chong facebook page.
>>675433010
yeah I think I may have overdid it the past few weeks, usually only drink a couple times a week but when I do I like to go haam.
the past two weeks I drank until almost blacked out 4 and 5 times a week.
I'm just wondering how long this shitty feeling will persist. Maybe it's a three day hangover?
I'm at a loss.
>>675432400
yeah, i mean not exactly like this, but I have anxiety and depression. and insomnia, I smoke weed most nights so I can fall asleep.
>>675433242
Oh, that would explain alot.
That kind of usage will seriously fuck with your chemical balance.
>>675433032
yeah totally, at least to a minor degree at all times. It's usually manageable, sometimes enjoyable(like being high for free), mostly a minor nuisance but it can get bad when I'm stressed or sick. sometimes it becomes self perpetuating
>>675433242
Listen to your body. Stay sober, eat some healthy meals, exercise a bit and your friend with the most positive outlook on life is the guy that you should talk to. I know the anxiety makes you feel worthless, but your friends don't feel that way. Hanging with them doing sober shit will cheer you up. Golf, fishing, video games.. Whatever. I know what you're talking about man. It sucks. But just stay in the fucking game. It's your game to win.
>>675433408
yeah Im sure I overdid it
sure was a fun two weeks, even though i feel stupid now

The disassociation feeling is usually caused by far too little sleep and too much stress.
Other factors like drugs and alcohol can add to this.
What you need to do is next time you have a few days off is just relax at home.
Take some time to settle into your own skin, watch some of your favorite movies and play some of your favorite games.
Just rest and eat plenty of food and drink lots of water.
I find I need a weekend like that every once in a while.
Adult life can be a bitch.
>>675433354
fuck I wish I could just smoke weed but ever since I had that bad shroom trip I freak out when I do
>>675433578
Thanks man, hopefully this won't be too bad for too long.
get off 4chan dylan
>>675433720
You know what I haven't had a good weekend to unwind like that in a while. I usually spend my days off getting fucked up or being hungover trying to run errands.
Used to have at least one day out of the week when I was only going to school to just veg out and not do shit. I probably need that again.
>>675433789
where do I live?
>>675433985

Nothing but girls and girls.
>>675435700
>>675435857

>>675435857

You are experiencing premature enlightenment, anon. Start doing meditation, connected breathing, stuff like that. Something woke up in you then, and now it's knocking on your door again.
>>675436181
most of these go back about 3 to 4 years, mostly from here
>>675436258
I think I have a fear that if I focus too much on this feeling I'll wind up with psychosis or something like that.
>>675436258
What happened lol
>>675436371
>>675436601
Take yourself out and get yourself laid, you need to have your pipes blown.
>>675436668
well thanks to those that responded and made my night a little less shitty
I'm gonna try and sleep now before the sun comes up
>>675436993
last thing on my mind right now but probably somewhat helpful
>>675437002
Goodnight OP.
Don't worry anon because your are going through an episode of menstruation
>>675436371
Get support, then. If you do meditation, for example, discuss what happened to you five years ago with the teacher, in detail. People in positions like that are used to talking about altered states, and being in them.
You sound pretty level-headed, and sensitive. I think you'll be alright, you just have something going on for you that you don't really understand. Talk to people with experience.
