this is what i’m going through right now…knowing i’m not alone in this feeling is comforting. thank you for making this video i really need it right now.
Luckily i have never had to deal with what be considered 'Severe' withdraws, but even mild or moderate is bad enough with the anxiety and feeling of loss, i really think severe withdraw would have to be a pinnacle of mental illness and feel sorry for anyone who goes through that
I got blackout drunk last week and lost my wallet and my card was used multiple times. I don’t recall much, I remember a bar manager coming outside to me and saying “don’t come back in your touching up girls and being a creep” sober me would never ever do anything so sick, I have been beating myself up. I don’t no how I got home or anything. This is a BIG wake up call for me. I am going to start my sober life.
I was twice taken to the emergency room due to panic attacks, and after that, I experienced daily panic attacks that began to seriously interfere with my workday. During each panic attack, I experienced pins and needles running around my head and had a feeling of impending doom, as if I was having a stroke or something. I quit drinking alcohol completely over three months ago, and all my symptoms have disappeared.
That’s awesome! I have 2 years without drinking now and haven’t had an anxiety attack or issue since. Minor stuff here and there but it’s soooo much better with out drinking. I’m so glad I had the panic attacks bc it’s what started me on this journey to quit. Keep up the good work!
That's amazing! I've heard similar stories on youtube that people with anxiety go sober and the anxiety magically goes away! Haha, "magically". I didn't have major anxiety but in the days between drinking I had a black cloud hanging over me, I felt like something bad was going to happen all the time and I just got used to it. For example at work I felt like I was going to get fired at any second, even though I was performing well. When I would get into a lift I would be sure that it'd malfunction and I'd get stuck. When I was in a car I was sure that we'd have a crash...it's no way to live. 1 year and 9 months sober today :)
This exact thing is happening to me. I’ve been in the er twice now for panic attacks. I get pins and needles in my face and sometimes in my pinkies and ring fingers and then I feel like I’m going to die for no reason. I’ve been trying so hard to figure out what it was.
@@Mrsirwinsalott It took a few weeks. During that time there were some minor comebacks of anxiety for unknown reasons but it slowly faded away. I was taking this calming syrup (hydroxyzine) every time I felt the beginning of a panic attack. At some point, I was so good at predicting that it was coming that I took my syrup a few minutes before the attack so that the initial hit was smoothed away and was more bearable.
That was the number one reason for me quitting drinking. I used to think anxiety and panic attacks only happened to weak minded people. In my case. I was not entirely wrong. I had several E.R. visits due to me thinking that I was having a heart attack. It's been over two years (December 6th, 2021) and quitting the sauce is the best decision I have made as an adult, hands down. If you are having a rough time quitting alcohol or going through anxiety/depression. I want you to know that you are loved, and this too shall pass. Keep working out, especially outside, keep praying/meditating and Breathe deep...
Noah, this same thing literally happened to me about 2 years ago. The fear of drinking and having another massive panic attack has kept me sober ever since then. Anyways, hang in there and much love my guy.
Your body is telling you that drinking is PRESENTLY more trouble than it’s worth for you. I’m not going to tell you to never have another drink. It’s too big of an assignment, and it’s not my place; but maybe you should step away from it for a bit. You’re still fun, charming, and humorous when you’re sober. I hope you can leave it alone for a while. Let your neurotransmitters reset. 💞
Great advice. My husband is 20 months sober AND still recovering from all the neurological symptoms ADHD symptoms severe anxiety symptoms it’s freaking nuts what people will do to their self and then they try to make excuses so that they can drink more. Oh and they will blame it on everything under the sun exception for the main reason which is alcohol or some cases drugs
This video helped a ton. I woke up today after drinking heavily last night and was panicking and disassociating and it took all day for me to shake it off
Same here, alcohol is just poison. Stay healthy man. Salads and smoothies might not be welcoming but they make you feel amazing in the long run, it’s a natural upper , your body and mind will thank you for it.
I quit drinking 3 years, 6 months and 8 days ago and my mental health has improved dramatically. Thinking back I'd say most of my mood swings and general worries were alcohol related. Might be time to quit again buddy
I am 9 years alcohol free. I didn't say that to gloat I say it with so much gratitude as I come from a family where my father and uncle died from alcohol. So I'm just blessed as I've seen the worst of alcohol. Of course there's nothing wrong with having a few ice cold beers. Enjoy it but in my personal experience and life experience I'll never drink again it's a huge problem in Irish culture.
I just went thru this. Drunk a 12 pack on Saturday woke up was fine at first couple hours later started to feel confused then my chest tightened up and started panicking my legs felt weak and shaky than felt like I was bout to pass out. Called 911 they stayed on the phone till I made it to the er. They checked my blood and heart they said everything looked fine that I was dehydrated and it was prbly the alcohol. I drank again the next week 8 beers this time and the same thing happened even after drinking water. had 3 minor panick attacks the same day. Even the day after got another minor panick attack from being physically active that day. Drank a lot of water slowly it went away. Just threw the rest of the beer away I had left in the fridge. Think it’s time I give it up I’m 38 now been drinking since I was 21
I used to drink and smoke weed heavily. It was a coping mechanism that worked well… until it abruptly stops. It eventually turns on you. I have been sober from alcohol for over two years and I have not smoked weed for over four years. For ten plus years, I loved the feeling of inebriation and having either alcohol or weed take control of my brain. Now I prefer a sober reality - where I am in control. Call it maturity, call it being sick and tired of being sick and tired. Noah, I believe a switch has been turned on in your brain where it’s time to try a sober life. It’s not easy. If alcohol is suddenly turning on you, that’s a wake up call that should be considered. If countless rehabs has not helped you from refraining from alcohol use, your brain is letting you know it is time by these intense feelings. It also could be a subconscious guilty thought that is tormenting and causing panic. You have tried to get help multiple times for alcohol use. It seems to work for a while. Then you believe it’s okay for a few beers because you feel you have been “healed.” We are alcoholics - there is no such thing as a few beers. That’s a lot of time, effort, energy and money to be wasted to constantly start over again. What is the end game when you leave a rehab - to drink in moderation or to celebrate a week of sobriety with a beer? This is what I have gathered from the many videos I have watched from your channel. I discovered your channel over four years ago in one of my deepest and darkest holes. You made me feel okay about my addictions, suicidal ideations, anxiety, depression, depersonalization, catastrophic thinking and weird obsessions. I wholeheartedly thank you for that. I wish you luck and God bless, Noah.
I honestly thought I was the only one who had these crazy anxiety attacks in the morning after drinking. I’ve recently felt the exact same way after having a fun Friday night and coming home to crash and waking up with a racing heart. I thought I was having a heart attack the first time and clung onto my boyfriend for comfort cause I didn’t know what was going on. Then I realized I would feel that way every time I would drink on the weekends. I’ve don’t binge drink anymore on the weekends and try to remind self that I can still have a fun times with friends doing other activities besides drinking. You making this video gave me so much reassurance! Thanks so much dude!
I would have massive panic attacks after heavy drinking. Not sure why, but cutting back on heavy drinking, especially at night, and having a therapist to speak to on a monthly basis really helped. I'm so sorry that it hit you so hard and I really hope you have found some peace.
I had a derealization panic attack in 2010. I was out disc golfing and drinking beer too. Everything became like a video game, my blood pressure was 194/111. Went to er. They said I was having alcohol withdrawals which is a lie. I was drinking and smoking weed. It triggered it. They gave me Ativan and I got addicted to it. 2010 wasn't a good year. Edit, I weened myself off of Ativan, still fighting the demon alcohol on and off since.
Ive had withdrawals so many times i cannot count. Sounds like you got a taste of that. Once it happens once, it happens a LOT and only gets worse. Only can be described in one way....impending doom. Glad youre all good now.
Back in my drinking days, I would wake up at 4 in the morning, with terrible bouts of anxiety. It would level off throughout the day, but it could definetly be debilitating.
I am so happy I kicked alcohol. but I realize it's very hard for lots of folks. if I think about alcohol, I immediately think of the hangovers, the black outs, the depression, and above all else as a binge drinker, the potential to literally ruin my life in a matter of minutes solely due to booze. booze is my mortal enemy. it wants to destroy me. I have no more room for it in my life. Noah, I hope you've stopped that shit! 😁🤘
Happened to me back in June ‘22. I used to do day drinking fairly often, and as we already know, alcohol messes with your sleep big time. So one day I drank, not a lot, but I couldn’t sleep at all, and the next day I needed to wake up early for work. I was so exhausted I drank a very strong freaking coffee. Couple of hours later and my body went into fight or flight mode. Worst day ever.
Your story is identical to my experiences over the last year. Thought I was the only one. Worst feeling on the planet and wouldn’t wish on my enemies m. Thanks for sharing
With all the things you've put in place to have a healthier life style I'd say this is your body telling you what you already know. It doesn't want the drink anymore. My worst panic attacks in the past were always at night time. I think it's something to do with the disorientation from being half asleep. I also have an anxiety response to smoking especially if I'm not on a good mental place.
Dude, i just had this happen almost textbook to yours!! 4 days ago i drank similar amount and woke up at 3am with massive anxiety. The next day was horrible but i managed to sleep a little better the next night with only a couple drink (2). The next day, which was yesterday i literally couldn't sleep at all. I got about 2-3 hrs and was in full blown panic and still havent totally wound down today. Im in the same boat, and dont want to feel it again. Its like it skipped a day with very minor drinking 2-3 light beers max. Never had hangxiety until this point. Plenty of hangivers but nothing like this.
This happened to me as well. It's actually happened twice. I remember you talking about having dissociation before. It's similar. I quit drinking a week ago, hence why I came across this video. What sucks too is the withdrawals also cause brain fog and more dissociative symptoms. You know you have bad anxiety when a bunch of alcohol (which suppresses anxiety chemicals) literally can't keep from panic.
I found it helpful to realize that the only things coming my way if I continued drinking were destruction and death (bipolar + drinking don’t mix well) It didn’t require effort - it was a realization Might wanna give it a try lol
Noah…I completely understand what you are saying. Understand how you felt….As I grew older, I began to notice that my body no longer tolerates binge drinking….Between weekend binges with monthly breaks here and there, I learned of something called, ‘kindling’… Where withdrawals get more severe over time after the completion of each binge. I never was one to drink day and night for week, months, even years….but those breaks between binges did more harm than good, in spite of drinking less than being drunk 24 hours a day. My anxiety got increasingly worse over time, and I realized that I needed to stop. It’s beea year and 8 months, and I still would like a good beer binge on some good holiday weekend….but I know I can’t do it….The pain of anxiety, depression, palpitations, and other horrible withdrawal symptoms don’t seem worth it…There is something to being content with that inner peace which comes with being sober and rested. Take care of yourself man. 🙏🏾✌🏾
I think i developed kindling as well. I tried to taper down by only having one drink before lunch instead of my usual 5-6 since i was technically at work. Well this triggered a serious anxiety and panic feeling since my mind was expecting a bunch more alcohol to come. The scary thing is that it's happened several times now and each time i say "this is it im never doing this again" but eventually i do. I really need to find it in me not to, i have pre-existing heart condition that makes it dangerous for me to mess around with this. When i use to drink every single day i never had this issue. It's only when i switched to 3-4 day binges
It sounds very clearly that you body/mind/soul says "no more alcohol my friend, that time is over!" I am curious though, I have experienced similar "side effects" several times in my life, and always I have been getting the message to stop doing/eating/drinking whatever it is, and then if/when I don't listen, the bad effects get worse and worse, until I get my ass kicked so hard that I never want to do it again. Have you had subtle hints to stop drinking, and what were they?
Wow, I can't tell you how relatable this is to me. I had the same thing happen to me in high school with weed, and I haven't touched it since junior year of highschool (I'm 21 almost 22 now). And last year, I had the same thing happen to me with alcohol. It sent me into one of the most miserable, terrifying, uncomfortable 3-4 months of my life up to this point. Granted there were more things going on than just alcohol, but all of it was triggered by one night of heavy drinking. I'm very careful with all substances now. I quit nicotine and caffeine, and rarely drink alcohol. And I take my physical health, an mental health way more seriously along with my sleep. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. It's very comforting knowing that These sort of things don't just happen to me.
This happened to me now several times and im currently going through it again, it's always after a serious bender where im drunk 24/7 for at least several days and eventually I am forced to stop because i feel like fainting or have to go to work. Usually takes around 10-15 hours for my blood alcohol to come back down and then i have physical discomfort but the worst is the mental anguish, its as though everything i was trying to avoid comes back 10 fold.
Going through same stuff. I drink for a week or 5 days 24/7 almost every two months or three in last year. Then body and mental heath gives up . Take me 3 whole days to get back to normal routine and fix my sleep pattern. Its hell. Then i dont sleep for atleast 30 hours to fix the sleep cycle which works. As i know i will try to fall asleep normally, i wont sleep . It will be just closing my eyes and reminding myself how i fucked it up. How about you
It’s a relief to know that I’m not the only one that feels this way. After long periods of drinking. I get really bad anxiety. I wake up in the middle of the night with my heart pounding and the next day I cannot function correctly. I have even hyperventilated.
I had a similar experience recently. Didn't make me abstinent but it definitely sticks with you and causes you to make choices so that it does not get repeated. I guess it's like the old "hot stove" theory, and to be honest, I was thankful for it!!!
I’m a binge drinker and I can go weeks, even months without drinking but as soon as I drink it, I don’t stop until I either pass out, in a homeless shelter, hanging out with the addicts, or at a random strangers house. It’s a disease and I just have to accept the fact that alcohol isn’t for me even though life gets boring at times without drinking, but I Know it will get better once my brain gets use to sobrity. I am currently 1 day and 12 hours sober from a 36 hour binge that ended me in an ambulance because apparently drug addicts just want to pick fights on people and they’ll hate you for nothing if you don’t do drugs. Anywho, I blame myself for hanging out in that homeless environment because of the stupid decisions I make if I drink one alcohol which turns into 10 units until I get stupidly drunk.
this is embarrassing for me to say, I don’t drink alcohol, because I have of thowing up since i was a kid, i’m in my early 40’s now. I started experience panic attacks back in early 2016 out of nowhere, it was so bad that I quit my job. I was housebound, pretty much i was depressed etc, in May 2017 I started to slowly leave my house, going for drives etc,
We’re all here for you, Man, because we’ve all had the same experience I guess not all of us, but the few that have it honestly kind of makes me tear up because I know just how bad it is I’m not even just alcohol, anxiety, just anxiety in general so anybody going through it I really feel for you ❤
My name is Joe and i had a bad panic attack while I was driving to work while hungover. Ever since that day I can only drink 7 beers otherwise my brain is scared of having another panic attack. If I drink more than 7 beers I will feel so anxious the next day
watched this video again. got a little time but get random urges to drink. the discomfort of wanting to do something that i dont want to do sucks. but remembering that anxiety and depression you mentioned is enough to get me through for a bit
had this happen a few weeks ago. thought I was gonna have a heart attack and had to crack off about 6 beers fast to feel normal again. I've never been a full blown round the clock alcoholic but that gave me a taste of what it must be like. I couldn't even form sentences at the liquor store, I just had to pay and get the hell out so I could get home, get in the shower, and slam them to get my hands to stop shaking and my heart to stop beating out of my chest
@@bignoknow yes I decided that I need to focus on my sobriety and get back to a clean lifestyle. for me I just can't moderate at all, and as I've gotten older (I'm 30 now), my drinking has progressively started earlier in the day and continued for more days of the week.. Appreciate your comment & content, Noah!
@@eatgrass123 i am sober mostly but there come a time when i decide to drink every two months and i end up drinking almost a week 24/7 . Then i quit , as my body couldn’t take it anymore. Worst hangxiety. But i dont know why i drink for almost a week everytime when i decided im not gonna do it tomorrow
I’ve had a lot of issues after drinking. Usually a depressive/ low mood or jittery and nervous. It creates inflammation and causes all sorts of weird changes in the body. Also higher estrogen. That alone can cause anxiety! Glad you’re all good.
Very well said mate, alcohol has been doing that to me too in recent times. I quit, jumped back on after 5 months and the anxiety came back very fast and strong. I just don't think I can drink anymore without that happening. Cheers mate!
Going through this very thing now. Involuntary twitching and acute existential dread. White knuckling it trying to make it through. Totally alone, truly horrendous
Yes, I had this a lot! I am five days clean so far and it has been up and down emotionally. Anytime i would feel like that, I’d take a magnesium glycinate and b vitamins and it would calm that extreme anxiety within an hr or so
I binge drink 4 days ago and have been stuck in a 4 day panic attack... I went to the ER 3 times thinking I was going to have a heart attack.. Still stuck!!! I not drinking again. I hope this ends soon. will comment an update when it goes away...
I've literally sat drunk continuing to drink crying about why and woken up in a drunken has from a dream where the grim reaper was trying to strangle me. Thankfully that was well over two years ago. Sober since 13 June 2020. You can do this. You've helped me and many others through so much.
Yer not alone brother... I used to get horrible anxiety after a heavy drinking night. Actually ended up at er once, thought I was having a heart attack n dying. Also did the same thing with too much thc... I avoid thc now. I can have a couple drinks every so often, but don't ever over do it anymore. Getting too old for that shit!
I used to be able to drink and knock anxiety off my chest but after having a massive panic attack randomly due to stress, alcohol no longer works and makes me feel far worse now. I try and stay away from drinking and if I do I’ll take a Xanax the following day to ease myself through
I’ve gotten to the point where I have to take Xanax the day after drinking. I drink about twice a week but when I drink, I drink heavy. Usually 20+ beers. I need to stop…
I started watching your channel years ago after having my first panic attack ever and I was put on medication for them. The video I watched was you saying it was OK for being on medication.
I hope you get to feeling better Noah. I suffer from crippling panic attacks so I get the feeling and it’s horrible. Be gentle with yourself and maybe step away from the alcohol for a bit. This may be your body doing some kind of reset. Either way I hope you feel better very soon. ❤️
Every single time I drink I take it too far to the point the session starts at 4, 5pm and lasts to 5am. This can consist of several different drinks e.g. pints of lager, double vodkas, shots, the odd malt whiskey. Ive been taking extreme extreme anxiety attacks the following 2 days after a binge session to the point I convince myself im dying, im going to drop dead, I'm losing the plot and will get sectioned. I also cant eat nor sleep for days and causes more anxiety. I started screaming on sunday after a 48hr session, must have drank over 100 units. Im done with alcohol now this was the final straw. Good luck.
Yes! I had the exact same thing happen. It started out waking up and having a racing heart in the morning after drinking. Then after awhile not drinking I had 5 ipas and woke up to pee. Suddenly I felt horrible anxiety and trouble breathing. I was on my knees hyperventilating… asking my girlfriend for help between breaths. I thought I was dying it was one of the scariest experiences of my life.
I've been dealing with something like this off and on for years. I've started and stopped drinking so many times because of it. I have chronic anxiety and I used alcohol as a crutch to get through a lot of things, but when I started having anxiety, panic attacks, and DPDR after drinking, I had to become very careful about it and eventually I stopped for about 5 years because I didn't even enjoy it anymore because of how bad the hangover anxiety was and how little I enjoyed it because of depression. I started drinking a little recently, and the effect is mostly gone as long as I don't take it too far. I don't know what causes it, but I can tell you that there's some kind of physiological cause to it. It might be gut biome related, you could have some mild general anxiety right now without realizing it, or it could be something else. In my experience, it comes and goes, and you will probably be able to enjoy alcohol again in the future, but be careful with it for now.
I was on benzos a few years ago and since quitting and going through withdrawls I’m very sensitive to alcohol use. I am completely dry now and will never touch alcohol again. Anxiety is bad the next day.
I just started taking Naltrexone yesterday...and I woke up at 2:45 am wide awake and felt the panic coming on. I already have an anxiety and panic disorder... The alcoholism just makes it worse. Trying to get sober whilst dealing with such intense mental health conditions is almost enough to drive a man completely mad. 😢
I've never heard of this. I have had the issues with weed, and after one VERY paranoia filled night after some strong weed, I never wanted to smoke it again. That was over 20 years ago. My thoughts are: at least you don't want to try any of it again so far, I would consider it a harsh lesson, but lesson learned? I hope you don't have to go through that again though, having any sort of bad trip from anything you were expecting fun from, isn't fun.
I’ve been heavily drinking regularly for the past 6 years or so. 29 years old now, and recently have been having mini panic attacks and anxiety around noon the day after drinking. I never know exactly when it’s going to hit, but when it does I just feel like my heart is going to explode or I have an extreme fear of death which is ridiculous because I’m healthy, I regularly go to the doctor because my job makes me. I feel like I’m going to die, like my heart is going to explode or my head is going to explode. I’ve got to stop drinking so much.
Same thing happened to me. I smoked weed for about 4 yrs and one day I got really paranoid and anxious and I never smoked again. That feeling was enough to scare me. Take care. Stay safe.
Thank you very much for sharing. Very interesting. Hope this leads you to drop drinking completely. Alcohol is LITERALLY a poison. It is also rewarding to find new ways to enjoy oneself sans alcohol (poison). Hope you are doing well! And, staying sober helps you to use your grounding tools, as you mentioned. Warmest wishes!
Had this happen to me a couple weekends ago. Been going through it for a while now struggling with DP and sleep anxiety. Needed to hear this though today
I’ve been drinking beer like a normal person lately after many alcoholic years and I swear the rebound anxiety I get is terrible, must be related to kindling but it sucks
Literally my experience, happened twice to me lately and I've never had panic attacks before. Not a nice feeling and really puts you off, not worth the drinks in my opinion.
I was on TRT after feeling real fatigue all the time at age 37. Then my Doctor put me on TRT and the first doses change my life. I was so happy on TRT then after 3 years I started having high Hemoglobins so my doctor recommended me to donate red blood cell. The problem was that every time I donated blood I felt horrible and weak. I started having anxiety and my attitude was always mad. Then I had a panic attack at work and I taught I was dying. Long story short the Doctors told me I didn’t have anything wrong with me health wise. So my panic attacks kept happening so I quit cold turkey (TRT) and I been off 3 years now, but my days are hit and miss. Any suggestions for vitamins or natural boost to increase testosterone normally would be appreciated.
Hi, i just stumbled across this video i'm suffering with serious panic dissorder, i've just been given the all clear from the hospital from anything physical. But everyday i feel like i'm going to die and i dont know what to do, i live in a happy house with my wife and 2 kids but i cant live with this. i lost my dad 2 years ago and i'm so full of sadness that i'm unable to cope. the things you talk about is what i'm going through, but i can't take it anymore it''s getting to much
I had literally the SAME thing happen to me on what I'm guessing is the same night if the timelines match up. But luckily it hasn't had a lasting effect on me.
Thank you for sharing youre experience! I have had this too.. end you know what the worst thing is? You know now how it feels and to control it to not think about it is so hard. It happens again only because of trying not to think about it… you feel some kind of adrenaline coming from your hips and then it is over… don’t want to experience it ever again.
Its different when we drank during our younger days compared to drinking now. Back then, after a drink sesh we joke around about the shitty things we did. But drinking as adults with life partners involved and financial commitments hit differently for me. This has never happened for me but I suddenly have this massive self loathing feeling. Im putting this as a comment here so that one day i can look back and tell myself thank you.
The agitation and restlessness hits me hard after about 2-3 nights of binge drinking….yes its bad…it’s scary….and when I have to tell my wife I’m having anxiety…I feel like I’ve let her down again for the many(th) time 😢
Every single time. Whole day after would be spent in bed, hiding from the world in the dark. No food, just in & out of sleep all day. Was absolute hell & couldn’t function as a human being. 398 days sober now. I’d like to drink again one day but I’ve almost scared myself to the point where the thought of just one sip I feel will trigger fight or flight.
I use to love smoking pot when I was a teenager and after a couple of years i had a panic attack so no more pot,now many years later I'm what you called a binge drinker and the next day I have anxiety and no ambition,maby I should say screw up and give that up
Ok well thank you so much for your video. I binged drink on vacation and had what i now learned an intense hangxity. Literally was so paranoid and thought i was dying (this isn’t my personality). I had to call my mom because i truly couldn’t escape the idea of pending doom, heart was racing, couldn’t sit down, couldn’t think straight only thing that calmed me down was my mom who talked me down until i fell asleep. I am not normally a binge drinking but in my 27 years NEVER experienced this. It was so bad i had anxiety on and off 2 times after that because i was so scared of feeling that way again so i haven’t and the one time i had 2 martinis 2 months after not drinking i started feeling anxious again. I just don’t understand after being in my early 20s, never expediting a blackout and able to binge drink i never experienced this until now. Went to the dr they just said it was anxiety & that I’m fine but like no one told me until this video that it was due to binge drinking… wow. Thank you for your video. & these comments really help
Yeah drinking elevates any anxiety over issues you were handling before drinking. It is a vicious cycle. You get a euphoric high than a crash the next day which includes hangiety. My worst hangover was at a wedding that had an open bar with old fashioned cocktails. Worst headache of all time. I just stopped this Wednesday after a night out after seeing Pearl Jam with a friend of mine.
I’ve never had a problem with alcohol except for the panic it causes me. I never drink. Period. I feel like shit! I never smoke anymore because it causes anxiety. I take kratom if I need a break from standard consciousness.
First time happened to me today! I was too scared to sleep and I’m in the Philippines alone too so I was shit worried for myself. So now I was drinking a lot of water and eating salads and only healthy food no shit food always! Healthy is the way to go now. Alcohol now and then but not crazy. It’s not worth it
I had the same thing I hadn’t touched alcohol a year after that experience until a few days ago I decided to have a beer. That following evening I lay awake all night long with heart palpitations and anxiety. It took a few days of hardly any sleep to get back to normal. I can’t even have one beer. Never again as you know there is nothing in this world worse than anxiety.
I can definitely relate to this had distressing thoughts and a panic attack woke up about 2am after heavy drinking really freaked me out, thoughtI wasn't in control and was going do something stupid
I feel you man. I just got tapered off benzos now 14 days out and I'm exhausted mentally and physically so last night I drank 8 beer to try to get relief big mistake because now after the alcohol wore of hugge rebound anxiety! So far today is just terrible
Same thing happened to me but I had been scared and senselessly trying to fix what was wrong thought I had heart issues high blood pressure and even thought/ felt like I was dying I was so scared I would feel like throwing up from it and feel like I needed to pace the house.. I woke up with anxiety heart racing shivering like I was cold but wasn’t it was the nervousness.. it sucked sorry you went through that but it helps looking up people who’ve been through similar situations Thankyou for this video 😊

this is what i’m going through right now…knowing i’m not alone in this feeling is comforting. thank you for making this video i really need it right now.
Me too 😭
I don’t miss any of that, thanks for reminding me of how much alcohol sucks. I’m at 11 months no booze, best I ever felt.
Luckily i have never had to deal with what be considered 'Severe' withdraws, but even mild or moderate is bad enough with the anxiety and feeling of loss, i really think severe withdraw would have to be a pinnacle of mental illness and feel sorry for anyone who goes through that
6months tomorrow. Don’t miss this. I always woke early hours wit anxiety in my stomach before I evin opened my eyes
@@clairec1683 keep up the good work! I don't miss that hang-xiety at all lol.
Congratulations!
I got blackout drunk last week and lost my wallet and my card was used multiple times. I don’t recall much, I remember a bar manager coming outside to me and saying “don’t come back in your touching up girls and being a creep” sober me would never ever do anything so sick, I have been beating myself up. I don’t no how I got home or anything. This is a BIG wake up call for me. I am going to start my sober life.
Thats so scary. I hope you are sober now. I truly do
@@ms.opinion8470 I am still going strong and can honestly say it is the best thing I have done. Not only for me but for my loved ones around me.
That’s awesome how’s it going
@@Skerboysweet the best thing I have done was get sober. Beautiful feeling!
@ pray for me I was sober for a year then fell back into old habits I’m drinking again and I always embarrass myself the drunk texts are the worst
I was twice taken to the emergency room due to panic attacks, and after that, I experienced daily panic attacks that began to seriously interfere with my workday. During each panic attack, I experienced pins and needles running around my head and had a feeling of impending doom, as if I was having a stroke or something. I quit drinking alcohol completely over three months ago, and all my symptoms have disappeared.
That’s awesome! I have 2 years without drinking now and haven’t had an anxiety attack or issue since. Minor stuff here and there but it’s soooo much better with out drinking. I’m so glad I had the panic attacks bc it’s what started me on this journey to quit. Keep up the good work!
That's amazing! I've heard similar stories on youtube that people with anxiety go sober and the anxiety magically goes away! Haha, "magically". I didn't have major anxiety but in the days between drinking I had a black cloud hanging over me, I felt like something bad was going to happen all the time and I just got used to it. For example at work I felt like I was going to get fired at any second, even though I was performing well. When I would get into a lift I would be sure that it'd malfunction and I'd get stuck. When I was in a car I was sure that we'd have a crash...it's no way to live. 1 year and 9 months sober today :)
This exact thing is happening to me. I’ve been in the er twice now for panic attacks. I get pins and needles in my face and sometimes in my pinkies and ring fingers and then I feel like I’m going to die for no reason. I’ve been trying so hard to figure out what it was.
How long did it take to get passed it? I'm 5 weeks and got better but this week I'm bad again hoping another month I'll be better.
@@Mrsirwinsalott It took a few weeks. During that time there were some minor comebacks of anxiety for unknown reasons but it slowly faded away. I was taking this calming syrup (hydroxyzine) every time I felt the beginning of a panic attack. At some point, I was so good at predicting that it was coming that I took my syrup a few minutes before the attack so that the initial hit was smoothed away and was more bearable.
That was the number one reason for me quitting drinking. I used to think anxiety and panic attacks only happened to weak minded people. In my case. I was not entirely wrong. I had several E.R. visits due to me thinking that I was having a heart attack. It's been over two years (December 6th, 2021) and quitting the sauce is the best decision I have made as an adult, hands down. If you are having a rough time quitting alcohol or going through anxiety/depression. I want you to know that you are loved, and this too shall pass. Keep working out, especially outside, keep praying/meditating and Breathe deep...
Your body is letting you know. It can't take it. Anxiety is no joke it takes over all body, functions.
This is your wake up call. Period.
Noah, this same thing literally happened to me about 2 years ago. The fear of drinking and having another massive panic attack has kept me sober ever since then. Anyways, hang in there and much love my guy.
Your body is telling you that drinking is PRESENTLY more trouble than it’s worth for you. I’m not going to tell you to never have another drink. It’s too big of an assignment, and it’s not my place; but maybe you should step away from it for a bit. You’re still fun, charming, and humorous when you’re sober. I hope you can leave it alone for a while. Let your neurotransmitters reset. 💞
Great reply. And advice
Anyone struggling through anxiety and depression,reach out to my handle 👆👆wait for his recommendation & guidelines on mental healings he’s the best.
Great advice. My husband is 20 months sober AND still recovering from all the neurological symptoms ADHD symptoms severe anxiety symptoms it’s freaking nuts what people will do to their self and then they try to make excuses so that they can drink more. Oh and they will blame it on everything under the sun exception for the main reason which is alcohol or some cases drugs
Thank you for your message
This video helped a ton. I woke up today after drinking heavily last night and was panicking and disassociating and it took all day for me to shake it off
Same here, alcohol is just poison. Stay healthy man. Salads and smoothies might not be welcoming but they make you feel amazing in the long run, it’s a natural upper , your body and mind will thank you for it.
And how about your blood pressure
I quit drinking 3 years, 6 months and 8 days ago and my mental health has improved dramatically. Thinking back I'd say most of my mood swings and general worries were alcohol related. Might be time to quit again buddy
I am 9 years alcohol free. I didn't say that to gloat I say it with so much gratitude as I come from a family where my father and uncle died from alcohol. So I'm just blessed as I've seen the worst of alcohol. Of course there's nothing wrong with having a few ice cold beers. Enjoy it but in my personal experience and life experience I'll never drink again it's a huge problem in Irish culture.
I just went thru this. Drunk a 12 pack on Saturday woke up was fine at first couple hours later started to feel confused then my chest tightened up and started panicking my legs felt weak and shaky than felt like I was bout to pass out. Called 911 they stayed on the phone till I made it to the er. They checked my blood and heart they said everything looked fine that I was dehydrated and it was prbly the alcohol. I drank again the next week 8 beers this time and the same thing happened even after drinking water. had 3 minor panick attacks the same day. Even the day after got another minor panick attack from being physically active that day. Drank a lot of water slowly it went away. Just threw the rest of the beer away I had left in the fridge. Think it’s time I give it up I’m 38 now been drinking since I was 21
I used to drink and smoke weed heavily. It was a coping mechanism that worked well… until it abruptly stops. It eventually turns on you. I have been sober from alcohol for over two years and I have not smoked weed for over four years. For ten plus years, I loved the feeling of inebriation and having either alcohol or weed take control of my brain. Now I prefer a sober reality - where I am in control. Call it maturity, call it being sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Noah, I believe a switch has been turned on in your brain where it’s time to try a sober life. It’s not easy. If alcohol is suddenly turning on you, that’s a wake up call that should be considered. If countless rehabs has not helped you from refraining from alcohol use, your brain is letting you know it is time by these intense feelings.
It also could be a subconscious guilty thought that is tormenting and causing panic. You have tried to get help multiple times for alcohol use. It seems to work for a while. Then you believe it’s okay for a few beers because you feel you have been “healed.” We are alcoholics - there is no such thing as a few beers. That’s a lot of time, effort, energy and money to be wasted to constantly start over again. What is the end game when you leave a rehab - to drink in moderation or to celebrate a week of sobriety with a beer?
This is what I have gathered from the many videos I have watched from your channel.
I discovered your channel over four years ago in one of my deepest and darkest holes. You made me feel okay about my addictions, suicidal ideations, anxiety, depression, depersonalization, catastrophic thinking and weird obsessions. I wholeheartedly thank you for that. I wish you luck and God bless, Noah.
Those GABA receptors need a breather. I don’t drink anymore because of the anxiety I get when I am hungover.
I honestly thought I was the only one who had these crazy anxiety attacks in the morning after drinking. I’ve recently felt the exact same way after having a fun Friday night and coming home to crash and waking up with a racing heart. I thought I was having a heart attack the first time and clung onto my boyfriend for comfort cause I didn’t know what was going on. Then I realized I would feel that way every time I would drink on the weekends. I’ve don’t binge drink anymore on the weekends and try to remind self that I can still have a fun times with friends doing other activities besides drinking. You making this video gave me so much reassurance! Thanks so much dude!
Me too
Yep same! I always feel like I’m having a heart attack after heavy drinking. Happened today and was miserable
same thing here, also mornings but then it was even during my working hours
I would have massive panic attacks after heavy drinking. Not sure why, but cutting back on heavy drinking, especially at night, and having a therapist to speak to on a monthly basis really helped. I'm so sorry that it hit you so hard and I really hope you have found some peace.
I had a derealization panic attack in 2010. I was out disc golfing and drinking beer too. Everything became like a video game, my blood pressure was 194/111. Went to er. They said I was having alcohol withdrawals which is a lie. I was drinking and smoking weed. It triggered it. They gave me Ativan and I got addicted to it. 2010 wasn't a good year. Edit, I weened myself off of Ativan, still fighting the demon alcohol on and off since.
I have a panic attack almost every time after drinking a lot
Ive had withdrawals so many times i cannot count. Sounds like you got a taste of that. Once it happens once, it happens a LOT and only gets worse. Only can be described in one way....impending doom. Glad youre all good now.
I ALWAYS feel anxiety the day after drinking.
Back in my drinking days, I would wake up at 4 in the morning, with terrible bouts of anxiety. It would level off throughout the day, but it could definetly be debilitating.
My 5 years of life gone for this . Still don’t know what to do . I was looking all your videos when ever I can to get some idea about how to survive
This started happening to me too. The same thing with weed. A single hit and I get anxiety. Weird... it definitely feels like a brain thing.
I am so happy I kicked alcohol. but I realize it's very hard for lots of folks. if I think about alcohol, I immediately think of the hangovers, the black outs, the depression, and above all else as a binge drinker, the potential to literally ruin my life in a matter of minutes solely due to booze.
booze is my mortal enemy. it wants to destroy me. I have no more room for it in my life.
Noah, I hope you've stopped that shit! 😁🤘
Happened to me back in June ‘22. I used to do day drinking fairly often, and as we already know, alcohol messes with your sleep big time. So one day I drank, not a lot, but I couldn’t sleep at all, and the next day I needed to wake up early for work. I was so exhausted I drank a very strong freaking coffee. Couple of hours later and my body went into fight or flight mode. Worst day ever.
Your story is identical to my experiences over the last year. Thought I was the only one. Worst feeling on the planet and wouldn’t wish on my enemies m. Thanks for sharing
Keep up posting man! The content is so resonating and very high quality
With all the things you've put in place to have a healthier life style I'd say this is your body telling you what you already know. It doesn't want the drink anymore.
My worst panic attacks in the past were always at night time. I think it's something to do with the disorientation from being half asleep.
I also have an anxiety response to smoking especially if I'm not on a good mental place.
My depersonalization and derealization gets 10x worse and my anxiety is thru the roof after binge drinking
Dude, i just had this happen almost textbook to yours!! 4 days ago i drank similar amount and woke up at 3am with massive anxiety. The next day was horrible but i managed to sleep a little better the next night with only a couple drink (2). The next day, which was yesterday i literally couldn't sleep at all. I got about 2-3 hrs and was in full blown panic and still havent totally wound down today. Im in the same boat, and dont want to feel it again. Its like it skipped a day with very minor drinking 2-3 light beers max. Never had hangxiety until this point. Plenty of hangivers but nothing like this.
This happened to me as well. It's actually happened twice. I remember you talking about having dissociation before. It's similar. I quit drinking a week ago, hence why I came across this video. What sucks too is the withdrawals also cause brain fog and more dissociative symptoms. You know you have bad anxiety when a bunch of alcohol (which suppresses anxiety chemicals) literally can't keep from panic.
It's pretty bad. I almost want to take the 200$ hit and go to the ER to get a supply of benzo just to avoid the anxiety
I found it helpful to realize that the only things coming my way if I continued drinking were destruction and death (bipolar + drinking don’t mix well)
It didn’t require effort - it was a realization
Might wanna give it a try lol
I'm sorry you went through that. I have anxiety disorder and it can be almost constant, at different levels. I wish you well. Take care of yourself.
Noah…I completely understand what you are saying. Understand how you felt….As I grew older, I began to notice that my body no longer tolerates binge drinking….Between weekend binges with monthly breaks here and there, I learned of something called, ‘kindling’… Where withdrawals get more severe over time after the completion of each binge. I never was one to drink day and night for week, months, even years….but those breaks between binges did more harm than good, in spite of drinking less than being drunk 24 hours a day.
My anxiety got increasingly worse over time, and I realized that I needed to stop. It’s beea year and 8 months, and I still would like a good beer binge on some good holiday weekend….but I know I can’t do it….The pain of anxiety, depression, palpitations, and other horrible withdrawal symptoms don’t seem worth it…There is something to being content with that inner peace which comes with being sober and rested.
Take care of yourself man. 🙏🏾✌🏾
I think i developed kindling as well. I tried to taper down by only having one drink before lunch instead of my usual 5-6 since i was technically at work. Well this triggered a serious anxiety and panic feeling since my mind was expecting a bunch more alcohol to come. The scary thing is that it's happened several times now and each time i say "this is it im never doing this again" but eventually i do. I really need to find it in me not to, i have pre-existing heart condition that makes it dangerous for me to mess around with this. When i use to drink every single day i never had this issue. It's only when i switched to 3-4 day binges
Prayer changes everything,hope and pray that God help Brother Noah handle his stress and anxiety situation one day a time and myself included.
It sounds very clearly that you body/mind/soul says "no more alcohol my friend, that time is over!"
I am curious though, I have experienced similar "side effects" several times in my life, and always I have been getting the message to stop doing/eating/drinking whatever it is, and then if/when I don't listen, the bad effects get worse and worse, until I get my ass kicked so hard that I never want to do it again.
Have you had subtle hints to stop drinking, and what were they?
This is exactly it , we must make those changes
Wow, I can't tell you how relatable this is to me. I had the same thing happen to me in high school with weed, and I haven't touched it since junior year of highschool (I'm 21 almost 22 now). And last year, I had the same thing happen to me with alcohol. It sent me into one of the most miserable, terrifying, uncomfortable 3-4 months of my life up to this point. Granted there were more things going on than just alcohol, but all of it was triggered by one night of heavy drinking. I'm very careful with all substances now. I quit nicotine and caffeine, and rarely drink alcohol. And I take my physical health, an mental health way more seriously along with my sleep. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. It's very comforting knowing that These sort of things don't just happen to me.
It starts happening as you get older if you become an alcoholic in your 20s that’s why I can’t drink in my 30s, it makes me feel fucky the next day
This happened to me now several times and im currently going through it again, it's always after a serious bender where im drunk 24/7 for at least several days and eventually I am forced to stop because i feel like fainting or have to go to work. Usually takes around 10-15 hours for my blood alcohol to come back down and then i have physical discomfort but the worst is the mental anguish, its as though everything i was trying to avoid comes back 10 fold.
Going through same stuff. I drink for a week or 5 days 24/7 almost every two months or three in last year. Then body and mental heath gives up . Take me 3 whole days to get back to normal routine and fix my sleep pattern. Its hell. Then i dont sleep for atleast 30 hours to fix the sleep cycle which works. As i know i will try to fall asleep normally, i wont sleep . It will be just closing my eyes and reminding myself how i fucked it up. How about you
It’s a relief to know that I’m not the only one that feels this way. After long periods of drinking. I get really bad anxiety. I wake up in the middle of the night with my heart pounding and the next day I cannot function correctly. I have even hyperventilated.
I had a similar experience recently. Didn't make me abstinent but it definitely sticks with you and causes you to make choices so that it does not get repeated. I guess it's like the old "hot stove" theory, and to be honest, I was thankful for it!!!
Easter was the breaking point after i had that spiral happened i was like, "enough of this shit" been 4 weeks since i had alcohol.
I’m a binge drinker and I can go weeks, even months without drinking but as soon as I drink it, I don’t stop until I either pass out, in a homeless shelter, hanging out with the addicts, or at a random strangers house. It’s a disease and I just have to accept the fact that alcohol isn’t for me even though life gets boring at times without drinking, but I
Know it will get better once my brain gets use to sobrity. I am currently 1 day and 12 hours sober from a 36 hour binge that ended me in an ambulance because apparently drug addicts just want to pick fights on people and they’ll hate you for nothing if you don’t do drugs. Anywho, I blame myself for hanging out in that homeless environment because of the stupid decisions I make if I drink one alcohol which turns into 10 units until I get stupidly drunk.
Are you better now?
this is embarrassing for me to say, I don’t drink alcohol, because I have of thowing up since i was a kid, i’m in my early 40’s now. I started experience panic attacks back in early 2016 out of nowhere, it was so bad that I quit my job. I was housebound, pretty much i was depressed etc, in May 2017 I started to slowly leave my house, going for drives etc,
We’re all here for you, Man, because we’ve all had the same experience I guess not all of us, but the few that have it honestly kind of makes me tear up because I know just how bad it is I’m not even just alcohol, anxiety, just anxiety in general so anybody going through it I really feel for you ❤
My name is Joe and i had a bad panic attack while I was driving to work while hungover. Ever since that day I can only drink 7 beers otherwise my brain is scared of having another panic attack. If I drink more than 7 beers I will feel so anxious the next day
watched this video again. got a little time but get random urges to drink. the discomfort of wanting to do something that i dont want to do sucks. but remembering that anxiety and depression you mentioned is enough to get me through for a bit
had this happen a few weeks ago. thought I was gonna have a heart attack and had to crack off about 6 beers fast to feel normal again. I've never been a full blown round the clock alcoholic but that gave me a taste of what it must be like. I couldn't even form sentences at the liquor store, I just had to pay and get the hell out so I could get home, get in the shower, and slam them to get my hands to stop shaking and my heart to stop beating out of my chest
Damn…. That sounds like a nightmare. Did the experience cause you to want to make any changes as it did me?
@@bignoknow yes I decided that I need to focus on my sobriety and get back to a clean lifestyle. for me I just can't moderate at all, and as I've gotten older (I'm 30 now), my drinking has progressively started earlier in the day and continued for more days of the week.. Appreciate your comment & content, Noah!
@@eatgrass123 i am sober mostly but there come a time when i decide to drink every two months and i end up drinking almost a week 24/7 . Then i quit , as my body couldn’t take it anymore. Worst hangxiety. But i dont know why i drink for almost a week everytime when i decided im not gonna do it tomorrow
i don’t drink often but this is my wake up call that drinking at all just isn’t worth it
I dealt with the same exact experience, I too have been sober because of the fear and it has in hindsight been a blessing in disguise.
I’ve had a lot of issues after drinking. Usually a depressive/ low mood or jittery and nervous. It creates inflammation and causes all sorts of weird changes in the body. Also higher estrogen. That alone can cause anxiety! Glad you’re all good.
Very well said mate, alcohol has been doing that to me too in recent times. I quit, jumped back on after 5 months and the anxiety came back very fast and strong. I just don't think I can drink anymore without that happening. Cheers mate!
Going through this very thing now. Involuntary twitching and acute existential dread. White knuckling it trying to make it through. Totally alone, truly horrendous
Stay brave. It will pass.
Yes, I had this a lot! I am five days clean so far and it has been up and down emotionally. Anytime i would feel like that, I’d take a magnesium glycinate and b vitamins and it would calm that extreme anxiety within an hr or so
I binge drink 4 days ago and have been stuck in a 4 day panic attack... I went to the ER 3 times thinking I was going to have a heart attack.. Still stuck!!! I not drinking again. I hope this ends soon. will comment an update when it goes away...
Sounds terrible. Wishing you calm and peace of mind soon. Perhaps an epsom salt bath would
Help.
Hope you’re doing good now. Bless you.
I've literally sat drunk continuing to drink crying about why and woken up in a drunken has from a dream where the grim reaper was trying to strangle me. Thankfully that was well over two years ago. Sober since 13 June 2020. You can do this. You've helped me and many others through so much.
Yer not alone brother... I used to get horrible anxiety after a heavy drinking night. Actually ended up at er once, thought I was having a heart attack n dying. Also did the same thing with too much thc... I avoid thc now. I can have a couple drinks every so often, but don't ever over do it anymore. Getting too old for that shit!
I used to be able to drink and knock anxiety off my chest but after having a massive panic attack randomly due to stress, alcohol no longer works and makes me feel far worse now. I try and stay away from drinking and if I do I’ll take a Xanax the following day to ease myself through
Ive been in panic mode for two weeks, I'm feeling better, and I'm done drinking for good.
I’ve gotten to the point where I have to take Xanax the day after drinking. I drink about twice a week but when I drink, I drink heavy. Usually 20+ beers. I need to stop…
Thank you Noah. I appreciate you a great deal. I love your videos and please keep doing what you do!!!
I started watching your channel years ago after having my first panic attack ever and I was put on medication for them. The video I watched was you saying it was OK for being on medication.
Feeling that way these last two days, I really need to stop and make the changes I need to do! This is not life.
I hope you get to feeling better Noah. I suffer from crippling panic attacks so I get the feeling and it’s horrible. Be gentle with yourself and maybe step away from the alcohol for a bit. This may be your body doing some kind of reset. Either way I hope you feel better very soon. ❤️
Thx Michelle.
You should check dr Claire Weekes. She’s absolutely amazing, she helped me a lot. And then check out wonder bro on RUclips. I wish you well!
Every single time I drink I take it too far to the point the session starts at 4, 5pm and lasts to 5am. This can consist of several different drinks e.g. pints of lager, double vodkas, shots, the odd malt whiskey. Ive been taking extreme extreme anxiety attacks the following 2 days after a binge session to the point I convince myself im dying, im going to drop dead, I'm losing the plot and will get sectioned. I also cant eat nor sleep for days and causes more anxiety. I started screaming on sunday after a 48hr session, must have drank over 100 units. Im done with alcohol now this was the final straw. Good luck.
Yes! I had the exact same thing happen. It started out waking up and having a racing heart in the morning after drinking. Then after awhile not drinking I had 5 ipas and woke up to pee. Suddenly I felt horrible anxiety and trouble breathing. I was on my knees hyperventilating… asking my girlfriend for help between breaths. I thought I was dying it was one of the scariest experiences of my life.
I've been dealing with something like this off and on for years. I've started and stopped drinking so many times because of it. I have chronic anxiety and I used alcohol as a crutch to get through a lot of things, but when I started having anxiety, panic attacks, and DPDR after drinking, I had to become very careful about it and eventually I stopped for about 5 years because I didn't even enjoy it anymore because of how bad the hangover anxiety was and how little I enjoyed it because of depression. I started drinking a little recently, and the effect is mostly gone as long as I don't take it too far.
I don't know what causes it, but I can tell you that there's some kind of physiological cause to it. It might be gut biome related, you could have some mild general anxiety right now without realizing it, or it could be something else. In my experience, it comes and goes, and you will probably be able to enjoy alcohol again in the future, but be careful with it for now.
I was on benzos a few years ago and since quitting and going through withdrawls I’m very sensitive to alcohol use. I am completely dry now and will never touch alcohol again. Anxiety is bad the next day.
Just quit already for good, stop trying to fool yourself that you can drink normally- you need to smash that idea
I hear you
Feel panic sometimes with inappropriate laughter moments. Such a relief when the bad feeling passes.
Hell ya I’ve experienced that. Now I relate alcohol to anxiety and therefore very rarely drink now. Not a bad thing:)
I just started taking Naltrexone yesterday...and I woke up at 2:45 am wide awake and felt the panic coming on. I already have an anxiety and panic disorder...
The alcoholism just makes it worse.
Trying to get sober whilst dealing with such intense mental health conditions is almost enough to drive a man completely mad. 😢
I've been there and I feel your pain and confusion. It sucks big time. Go see a doctor straight away so it doesn't form into a full blown disorder.
I've never heard of this. I have had the issues with weed, and after one VERY paranoia filled night after some strong weed, I never wanted to smoke it again. That was over 20 years ago.
My thoughts are: at least you don't want to try any of it again so far, I would consider it a harsh lesson, but lesson learned? I hope you don't have to go through that again though, having any sort of bad trip from anything you were expecting fun from, isn't fun.
I’ve been heavily drinking regularly for the past 6 years or so. 29 years old now, and recently have been having mini panic attacks and anxiety around noon the day after drinking. I never know exactly when it’s going to hit, but when it does I just feel like my heart is going to explode or I have an extreme fear of death which is ridiculous because I’m healthy, I regularly go to the doctor because my job makes me. I feel like I’m going to die, like my heart is going to explode or my head is going to explode. I’ve got to stop drinking so much.
This just happened to me today man you’re not alone bro ❤
Same thing happened to me. I smoked weed for about 4 yrs and one day I got really paranoid and anxious and I never smoked again. That feeling was enough to scare me. Take care. Stay safe.
Thank you very much for sharing. Very interesting. Hope this leads you to drop drinking completely. Alcohol is LITERALLY a poison. It is also rewarding to find new ways to enjoy oneself sans alcohol (poison). Hope you are doing well! And, staying sober helps you to use your grounding tools, as you mentioned. Warmest wishes!
Had this happen to me a couple weekends ago. Been going through it for a while now struggling with DP and sleep anxiety. Needed to hear this though today
I’ve been drinking beer like a normal person lately after many alcoholic years and I swear the rebound anxiety I get is terrible, must be related to kindling but it sucks
Literally my experience, happened twice to me lately and I've never had panic attacks before. Not a nice feeling and really puts you off, not worth the drinks in my opinion.
I was on TRT after feeling real fatigue all the time at age 37. Then my Doctor put me on TRT and the first doses change my life. I was so happy on TRT then after 3 years I started having high Hemoglobins so my doctor recommended me to donate red blood cell. The problem was that every time I donated blood I felt horrible and weak. I started having anxiety and my attitude was always mad. Then I had a panic attack at work and I taught I was dying. Long story short the Doctors told me I didn’t have anything wrong with me health wise. So my panic attacks kept happening so I quit cold turkey (TRT) and I been off 3 years now, but my days are hit and miss. Any suggestions for vitamins or natural boost to increase testosterone normally would be appreciated.
Hi, i just stumbled across this video
i'm suffering with serious panic dissorder, i've just been given the all clear from the hospital from anything physical. But everyday i feel like i'm going to die and i dont know what to do, i live in a happy house with my wife and 2 kids but i cant live with this. i lost my dad 2 years ago and i'm so full of sadness that i'm unable to cope. the things you talk about is what i'm going through, but i can't take it anymore it''s getting to much
Try stuff like chamomile, taurine,valerian root ,lemon balm ,ashwagandha
I had literally the SAME thing happen to me on what I'm guessing is the same night if the timelines match up. But luckily it hasn't had a lasting effect on me.
Thank you for sharing youre experience! I have had this too.. end you know what the worst thing is? You know now how it feels and to control it to not think about it is so hard. It happens again only because of trying not to think about it… you feel some kind of adrenaline coming from your hips and then it is over… don’t want to experience it ever again.
Its different when we drank during our younger days compared to drinking now. Back then, after a drink sesh we joke around about the shitty things we did. But drinking as adults with life partners involved and financial commitments hit differently for me. This has never happened for me but I suddenly have this massive self loathing feeling. Im putting this as a comment here so that one day i can look back and tell myself thank you.
The agitation and restlessness hits me hard after about 2-3 nights of binge drinking….yes its bad…it’s scary….and when I have to tell my wife I’m having anxiety…I feel like I’ve let her down again for the many(th) time 😢
agitation, restlessness, weird dryness of my throat..Just an uneasiness..
Weed gives the that WORST terrifying panic attacks. I can’t do that either. Nothing is fun anymore 😂😂
Every single time. Whole day after would be spent in bed, hiding from the world in the dark. No food, just in & out of sleep all day. Was absolute hell & couldn’t function as a human being. 398 days sober now. I’d like to drink again one day but I’ve almost scared myself to the point where the thought of just one sip I feel will trigger fight or flight.
I use to love smoking pot when I was a teenager and after a couple of years i had a panic attack so no more pot,now many years later I'm what you called a binge drinker and the next day I have anxiety and no ambition,maby I should say screw up and give that up
Ok well thank you so much for your video. I binged drink on vacation and had what i now learned an intense hangxity. Literally was so paranoid and thought i was dying (this isn’t my personality). I had to call my mom because i truly couldn’t escape the idea of pending doom, heart was racing, couldn’t sit down, couldn’t think straight only thing that calmed me down was my mom who talked me down until i fell asleep. I am not normally a binge drinking but in my 27 years NEVER experienced this. It was so bad i had anxiety on and off 2 times after that because i was so scared of feeling that way again so i haven’t and the one time i had 2 martinis 2 months after not drinking i started feeling anxious again. I just don’t understand after being in my early 20s, never expediting a blackout and able to binge drink i never experienced this until now. Went to the dr they just said it was anxiety & that I’m fine but like no one told me until this video that it was due to binge drinking… wow. Thank you for your video. & these comments really help
Yeah drinking elevates any anxiety over issues you were handling before drinking. It is a vicious cycle. You get a euphoric high than a crash the next day which includes hangiety. My worst hangover was at a wedding that had an open bar with old fashioned cocktails. Worst headache of all time. I just stopped this Wednesday after a night out after seeing Pearl Jam with a friend of mine.
I’ve never had a problem with alcohol except for the panic it causes me. I never drink. Period. I feel like shit! I never smoke anymore because it causes anxiety. I take kratom if I need a break from standard consciousness.
Careful wit Kratom hun, can become addicting!! Just an FYI
First time happened to me today! I was too scared to sleep and I’m in the Philippines alone too so I was shit worried for myself. So now I was drinking a lot of water and eating salads and only healthy food no shit food always! Healthy is the way to go now. Alcohol now and then but not crazy. It’s not worth it
I had the same thing I hadn’t touched alcohol a year after that experience until a few days ago I decided to have a beer. That following evening I lay awake all night long with heart palpitations and anxiety. It took a few days of hardly any sleep to get back to normal. I can’t even have one beer. Never again as you know there is nothing in this world worse than anxiety.
That’s awful. Sorry you went through that.
I can definitely relate to this had distressing thoughts and a panic attack woke up about 2am after heavy drinking really freaked me out, thoughtI wasn't in control and was going do something stupid
I feel you man. I just got tapered off benzos now 14 days out and I'm exhausted mentally and physically so last night I drank 8 beer to try to get relief big mistake because now after the alcohol wore of hugge rebound anxiety! So far today is just terrible
Try cbd if you wanna be a little relaxed for a party, it makes you relax but with no mind altering high.
Same thing happened to me but I had been scared and senselessly trying to fix what was wrong thought I had heart issues high blood pressure and even thought/ felt like I was dying I was so scared I would feel like throwing up from it and feel like I needed to pace the house.. I woke up with anxiety heart racing shivering like I was cold but wasn’t it was the nervousness.. it sucked sorry you went through that but it helps looking up people who’ve been through similar situations Thankyou for this video 😊
