I'm totally with Josh and PP who have said that anxiety can be an underlying issue that alcohol temporarily masks and definitely aggravates. It is not really "all in your head", it could be a true medical/psychological issue. I have been sober 40+ days and am still suffering from nightly (sometimes daily but mostly during the night) anxiety attacks and insomnia. Sometimes it is insufferable and I feel worse than when I was drinking. I am staying straight, and hoping for some relief soon. If not, I will definitely see my GP and ask for some help. Perhaps you should consider the same. Try to get some sober time under your belt and see how you feel. Maybe after a few weeks you'll feel better on your own.
