Anxiety as a trigger
Does anyone else get intense cravings and desire to drink with severe anxiety? I have ruminations, worry about real problems and sometimes the tiniest thing. Sometimes my head becomes so noisy and unbearable that it makes me feel like checking out or drowning it out. And then I can pick myself up and the cycle happens again. I've had this for as long as I can remember. It's the type of anxiety where simple things like getting the car washed for the first time, or having a day off and wondering what to do can be like climbing a mountain. It can involve so much overthinking that it just exhausts me.
Just seeing if anyone is similar. I have been on medication and gone to therapy before. I will probably do that again. I also journal, meditate, run, walk, rest and lead a healthy lifestyle.
