Awful anxiety, paranoia, self hate, isolation, sense that something bad was going to happen, jittery, on edge for me after drinking.
I now look back and think who in their right minds would take a drug that leads to that?
I willing poured it down my neck. No-one forced me.
If we had those side effects from medicines our doctor gave us, we would stop taking it, never take it again and warn others.
And Dee is right, the more I drank, the more I was anxious.
It became the norm for me to feel anxious and hideous all day then dash home so I could kill my symptoms with a drink.
I think, at least for me, the mental side effects from alcohol were far worse, far more horrid to endure than the physical hangover symptoms.
Wishing you the best xxxx
