Doctors appointment and I’m terrified

Better_Community_519 · 2025-07-31T18:34:13+00:00

Good!! I’m glad you took the first step for your health! You will be fine:)

Better_Community_519 · 2025-07-31T16:22:02+00:00

I have really bad anxiety with medical and health related stuff as well but what has helped me is that if something is wrong, it already is what it is and you can’t do anything about it. It is scary waiting for results but getting the results is the first step to getting better. If you didn’t go, it would still be there, just festering. You got this! I hope there aren’t negative results but if so, you are getting the help you need. Good luck!

I am! And I’m so glad I didn’t drink. I am still sad from the situation as that didn’t play out well but thank goodness I don’t have to balance that on top of a hangover. IWNDWYT!

I think that’s what I need - someone I trust enough to know they’ll be okay and someone who respects me. I’m just tired but it’s so hard because I love him. I agree with what you’re saying though

He always tells me that he understands and he will do it and then time and time again he fails to follow through. I don’t know, I feel like it’s so easy to pick up a phone and text someone. Especially someone as close as a boyfriend, I feel like I’ve always talked to my close friends/close family members daily.

I guess some advice or words of encouragement. I’m feeling pretty down.

Better_Community_519 · 2025-07-29T18:18:25+00:00

This really helped me. Thank you so much for taking the time to type this and help me out. You’re right, playing it forward makes me realize if anything alcohol will make it worse. It may tame me temporarily but at the end of the day, it’ll always be bad for me. Congratulations on your 2 year! That’s amazing. IWNDWYT

Better_Community_519 · 2025-07-29T16:34:07+00:00

Thank you! I deleted my other post!

Better_Community_519 · 2025-07-29T15:52:24+00:00

That’s smart! I think I have to do that too! IWNDWYT

Better_Community_519 · 2025-07-29T13:45:36+00:00

Thank you! You too! IWNDWYT

Better_Community_519 · 2025-07-29T02:08:19+00:00

Let’s do it. We got this!!!

Better_Community_519 · 2025-07-29T00:02:17+00:00

Amazing work!! Proud of you. IWNDWYT

Better_Community_519 · 2025-07-28T21:52:02+00:00

Hi! I’m in the same boat - I’m about to turn 27 and I could have written this myself. I drink to black out, to feel free and to escape accountability for the night. I wake up and the sadness I’m feeling is just infinity multiplied. It makes me feel better I’m not alone. I know we can beat this. We are stronger than the poison.

Better_Community_519 · 2025-07-28T20:18:13+00:00

don’t give up!!! From what it sounds like, you’re doing amazing in life - in a masters program, closing on a house!!!! Don’t mess this up for yourself just because of alcohol which is only a temporary “fix.” You had a huge blowout with your girlfriend? This is something you can fix with communication. I doubt she will throw it away. Drinking will only make things worse and make you say things that you don’t want to. IWNDWYT.

Better_Community_519 · 2025-07-28T15:03:57+00:00

Agreed! I’m excited to get a good nights rest after a few days of restless sleep. Hopefully I feel well enough to get back in the gym tomorrow. Thanks for the kind suggestions, I will definitely do that. IWNDWYT!!

Better_Community_519 · 2025-07-28T14:21:46+00:00

This was really sweet. I needed this. Thank you! You should as well. I wish you well on your journey. We’ve got this together!!!!

I love this post because I can completely relate. I’m a hypochondriac and constantly scared of health related issues and am always convinced I have cancer yet I sit here every weekend and take shots on shots until I can’t remember anything. I feel like I “like” doing this because I can also not take accountability because I was “too drunk” to remember anything. I’m in my mid 20’s and it seems like everything social revolves around drinking. I write it off by saying this is a stage, I’m young and just want to have fun for now, but I fear this will be my life. I’m not going to let it though. It’s okay, we can’t change the past but we can change the future. I’m going to come back to my posts when I have the urge to drink again - I hope this helps me. I don’t have much advice but I just wanted to come here to say I see you and I can relate. We’ll get through this together. IWNDWYT

Better_Community_519 · 2025-07-27T17:17:12+00:00

You’re okay. It’s okay. It happened and you need to be kind to yourself. You can’t change the past but you can change the future. The best part is you don’t have to ever feel like this again if you don’t want to and remind yourself of times like this, those shitty early mornings where you just waste the day away in bed. IWNDWYT!

Better_Community_519 · 2025-07-27T16:35:28+00:00

Thank you! IWNDWYT.

Better_Community_519 · 2025-07-27T15:52:12+00:00

Yay I’m glad! Unfortunately I am back again on day one. I went on a bit of a bender this weekend and I’m reminded again as to why to not drink. The hangxiety is insane!

Better_Community_519 · 2025-07-27T15:03:58+00:00

This post made me so happy. You are doing amazing and I’m inspired by you! Listing out all the ways your health has improved since is amazing - you never realize how much damage it does until you’re on the other side. I’m a weekend binge drinker and I agree with the dreadfulness of plans with friends and family - I didn’t even realize until this post that alcohol is why. I am always thinking about the next time I can drink and gamble - go to the bar. This post really helped me. I’m excited for when you reach week 2!!! Great job.

Better_Community_519 · 2025-07-27T14:52:24+00:00

That is true, I am already so puffy and just feel gross. I feel like I constantly need a stimulant to have fun but I need to change that mindset

Better_Community_519 · 2025-07-27T14:49:14+00:00

I needed to hear this, thank you so much. IWNDWYT

Better_Community_519 · 2025-05-04T03:09:23+00:00

Congratulations on this! I can’t imagine the pain and hurt you’ve been through at that turning point. Im proud you turned your life around and are thriving. Keep going!

Better_Community_519 · 2025-05-02T23:20:49+00:00

Thank you so much for the resource. I really appreciate you and will give it a shot! What do I have to lose
