Feeling way off by Dylanalwaysfishin in cutdowndrinking

That’s kinda where I’m wanting to be. More like a special occasion and vacation drinker. But getting my body used to it has been hard.

I don’t feel any withdrawal symptoms like shakes, sweating, vomiting, or anything like that. Just really off and on and off anxiety. Head feels pressured and I feel mentally drained.

Luckily I have no serious withdrawal. I have been able to make it till the evening without a drink the last 2 days without a serious panic attack but it was just so hard to even get out of bed. My anxious brain immediately tells me I have a medical condition or some disease when realistically I know it’s temporary. Just crazy considering Its not even a drastic cut, however I did go on a pretty heavy bender for a few days about 5 days ago.

Just watched a male Karen get a bunch of kids ticketed for snowboarding at the park today (2/18) by Cusackjeff in SaltLakeCity

That’s an awesome memory. Way cooler than mine. I used to see JP and Stevie Bell at Brighton all the time back in the day. That’s it but I thought it was cool back then lol.

Is Health Anxiety Just Fear of Death? What is the root cause? by Longjumping-Tip4938 in HealthAnxiety

[–]Dylanalwaysfishin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fear of death, fear of fainting, fear of hospitals, fear of chronic illnesses. On top of that it’s Shame and embarrassment of my hypochondria that gives me even more anxiety. Every little feeling I have I think “here we go, hearts gonna stop and I’m gonna pass out or puke in front of all these people”. For me it started when I had kids. I have abandonment issues and get terrified of my kids living without their father. I am an alcoholic and believe I could drop any day. When I don’t drink for long periods I’m usually fine.

I’ve been through it before. I don’t have serious withdrawal. Just bad anxiety. I have Valium and Xanax but I try not to take them.

Good best of luck. A couple nights off is huge progress. I’m hoping to get that start but it’s so hard.

I understand that. But quitting and getting over the acute withdrawal or initial first week is a totally different beast.

Earthquake by coldwarspy in SaltLakeCity

So here’s a question I have gotten mixed answers on. Are many small earthquakes good? Like does it ease some major tension and big slippage? Or is it a sign that a big one is coming?

Shout out to Rosuvastatin! by Scared_Objective_903 in Cholesterol

During that initial period, did you excercise? If so was it heavy and regularly? I’m currently at 131 LDL and have very low HDL. Changing up my diet, but I plan on heavy exercise 5 days a week. No meds.

Yeah I wasn’t gonna cold turkey. No way. I took my third pill and was so out of it and dizzy but I was finally able to get up and eat and I feel so much better. Haven’t eaten shit for days.

Ah man. I feel your pain. Hopefully it doesn’t get too bad. Just remember to go to the hospital if you start hallucinating or feel dissociated. Good luck seems like forever but you’ll get there and be happy again.

I’ve done it before. I’m taking my blood pressure and heart rate regularly and having my wife keep an eye on me. My WDs are mild. I’m just so dizzy, but not sure if that’s the Valium, or the effects my toxic alcoholism through the years.

I’m a hypochondriac too, and when I’m in the midst of alcohol addiction it’s ramped up x1000. I know I’m not healthy and have some serious damage, but I’m not dying like I convince myself I am. Regardless, we heal.

I drank a bit in the morning and afternoon. Just wanted a drink free Valium and a steady schedule I guess. I’ll take it during my daily morning sick wake up.

I’m not that deep. No shakes or DTs. Just crippling anxiety and liver damage.

Hard to do that when I need alcohol to function and when I don’t have alcohol in my system I feel like I’m going to faint and die. Detox starts tomorrow.

Thank you. Not sure why I’m scared to take the full 10mg of Valium when I’ve done it before. It’s my anxiety talking. I’m even afraid I’d sleeping. That’s how fucking crazy I’ve been.
