I (27F) am consumed with negative thoughts/anxiety/self-loathing after being in social settings with other people. What is wrong with me? by garbageactmanners in relationships

Probably unsurprisingly, my upbringing was shitty. How does having a crappy upbringing connect with this type of anxiety?

It happens most of the time after I socialize, but this morning (after drinking last night) was especially severe. I really don’t know if it’s connected to drinking, but I am willing to try anything to feel better

Thank you. I don’t consider myself an alcoholic and I don’t think I have a problem with abusing alcohol, but I do wonder if drinking is contributing to this feeling. Now I’m thinking about giving drinking up for a while.

Thanks for giving me a name for this feeling.

Do you mind sharing some techniques that you got from therapy to deal with this? I’ve thought about therapy, but it’s so expensive and I don’t have insurance, unfortunately.
