worried and paranoid after alcohol Posted: 07-06-08 21:44pm
Every time that I have a heavy nights
drinking,I get really depressed and
worried for the next few days. Just this
past weeekend I had a work night out.
Everybody from the company was there,which
is a few hundred people.
Drink was flowing and my memory of the
night is hazy to say the least. I ended up
talking with this girl from work,and
eventually we went back to a house
party.Nothing happened,not for lack of
effort on my part,but now im ashamed
because I have a girlfriend and she has a
boyfriend.Back at this party,some guy
accused us of cheating on our partners,and
im now ashamed and worried incase this
rumour catches on at work. As I
said,nothing happened,but for some reason
I am now worried about what stories will
circulate around work.Even as i write
this,i can see how crazy and dumb it
sounds,but for whatever reason,alcohol
just seems to put all these horrible
feelings of guilt,worry and depression
into my head,despite nothing actually
happening.Why do I feel this way?
I know it might sound ridiculous,but im
dreading going back to work.Why do I worry
so much about what other people think? Im
assuming its something to do with the fact
that i was so drunk,that i cant recall
most of the night,and am afraid of what i
might have said or done. Alcohol seems to
worry and depress me and make me focus on
the negatives. Anybody have similar
experiences or feelings after a lot of
alcohol?
Thanks

i too get some of the same guilty
feelings, just because freshman year of
college when I first starting drinking I'd
go out, get insanely drunk and make a
total fool of myself, i'd wake up the next
morning feeling like a complete fool even
though most of my friends thought it was
hilarious..i hated the feeling of waking
up and trying to recall what stupid things
I had done... so from now on, when I drink
I make sure to take it slow and drink in
moderation...very rarely will I get to the
point of being drunk anymore, i've learned
my lesson about alcohol the hard way...so
just slow down on the drinking...take it
easy
