Yes. Me. I used to feel suicidal after drinking. I just wanted to die every day and my anxiety and depression increased. I used to think this was normal {laughs to self** and just the price one had to pay for drinking alcohol. It isn't just alcoholics or heavy drinkers that can get the "beer fear" or the "booze blues" though. Alcohol is a depressant and will only increase depression and anxiety symptoms. I have been sober 11 and a half months and I have not felt the way I did when I was drinking once . I do suffer from depression which I am on medication for and I still get anxious but it is ok. It is manageable. It isn't the same as before. The Big Book of AA calls it the four horsemen . Terror. Frustration. Bewilderment. Despair. I haven't had those 4 horsemen visit me in sobriety, thank God, and I hope I never see them again.
