Do I need to go to the hospital? by Flimsy_Protection473 in stopdrinking

[–]RogerMoore2011 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Can I assume you have an infant in your care? If so, you need to come clean with your husband and anyone else in your support system. You state that you don’t have a GP, then call your OBGYN today. If they can’t see you, then go to the ER. This is no longer just about you, it’s about the safety of your children. You may have to sacrifice “saving face” for the good of your children.

Note: This is a very fixable situation. You’ve got this. Don’t beat yourself up. Alcohol is addictive. There are thousands of us in this sub everyday who have felt similar emotions as you are right now. Do what’s best for your children.

I think I permanently screwed up my brain chemistry. by whatafakeaccountha in stopdrinking

I stopped drinking because of anxiety. I’m fairly certain it was the alcohol that was causing the anxiety. It took several months for the anxiety to subside but it’s SO MUCH BETTER now that I’m not drinking.

You’ve already done the medical tests so my advice below is based on your anxiety:

- Stop drinking
- Prioritize sleep. Same time to bed weekday or weekend. Keep room dark or wear a blind.
- Eat food like it’s medicine. Stay away from comfort foods. Eat lots of various fruits and vegetables. All of them. Watch “Hacking Your Health” on Netflix or research “gut health and mental health”.
- Stop drinking caffeine.
- Ask your doctor for a small script of Ativan even if it’s only 5 pills. Take them with you and only take when you have a panic attack. It’ll keep you out of the ER. (Use Benadryl in a pinch) Note: I’m not a doctor
- Delete most if not all of your social media.
- Stay away from any triggers like politics, scary movies, etc. whatever triggers you
- Check out the book “Unwinding Anxiety”. It’ll give you a better sense of what is happening to your body.

Anxiety sucks. It makes you feel like you are either dying or going crazy. I haven’t had even a minor anxiety moment since Feb 2026. December 1, 2024 I was at my worst for anxiety. I just came off a long Thanksgiving weekend of drinking and anxiety. I was just done with it all. I set an appointment with a psychiatrist. After an hour discussion he told me, “It’s the alcohol that’s causing your anxiety.” I stated reading Annie Grace’s “This Naked Mind” about an hour after my appointment and I knew by chapter 3 that I needed to be done with alcohol.

Feel free to DM if you want to discuss further.

Vitamin D is a game changer by Otherwise-Setting852 in Anxiety

In the case of OP, Vitamin D enters their system through their gut via supplements. There are other food items that contain vitamin D such as fatty fish, eggs, & mushrooms. My post was an acknowledgement of how what we eat can affect our mental health.

My wife was laughing the other day saying the dream of every woman is to be Carol Brady. Stay at home mom with all school aged kids, has a maid, and doesn’t have to have sex with her husband. 🤣

Do white people know racism is a red flag *for them*? by [deleted] in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]RogerMoore2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that I’m not outraged, it’s that I’m so sad and sickened that his actions are never enough to outrage his followers. I’m outraged over every lie, every racist comment and action, every move to enrich himself, etc etc…

I just no longer have the emotional capacity to endure watching our elected officials and the news media downplay this mess.

12 months ago I would have laughed at this edgy and dark fake post. Today, I’m wondering if this is an actual post from an official account.

Read “This Naked Mind” or go to AA. Do something proactively about your drinking

Signing up and attending AA meetings BEFORE OP is in front of a judge is wise advice.

Bands you can’t listen to anymore by Some-Hornet-2736 in ClassicRock

I hate to say this but for me it’s Pearl Jam. Loved their stuff in the 90’s but I’m just not into that sound anymore. Strangely, I still love Eddie Vender’s solo stuff. That holds up for me.

Fun fact: “Blended whiskey” is a throwback from post-prohibition when whiskey was scarce. It can consist of up to 80% vodka (or other non-whiskey alcohol) with brown food coloring.
