Hi there

I used to get these sort of anxiety symptoms after a particularly heavy day of drinking, i.e. the following day. This would generally mean the following, just a few examples:

1. On walking to work there are very tall buildings and a large open space including the road between them, when i was half way across this space i would have the feeling that i was going to spin out or become unsteady and this would make me want to run towards one or the other end.
2. There is a runway between the border in gibraltar and the actual start of the town, either side of the runway is sea, i could not walk across this and have just managed to on my last visit only cos i am sober and on antis at the moment.
3. The best one. When waiting in line for, say a sandwich in subway, my palms would start sweating, i would become unsteady on my feet and have to keep moving from side to side, feeling dizzy and more than most i would just get the **** out of there. I never knew this was anxiety until i went to my counseller though!

Thata said i dont know how useful this post will be to you as i dont have the answers to your questions, but all the above are getting better for me, i haven't been sober long enough to tell you if they will reoccur though!

IMO you should trust your therapist until there is reason not to in this case, hopefully someone will post with an answer or some better advice:-)

I think you are amazing to be addressing all this so young, good for you!
