Another panic attack came and went.....as usual I coped and muttled through it. Again as usual......caused by a binge the night before.

sigh......

Uhg, I hate those panic/anxiety attacks. Hope you're feeling better and don't have any more.

I didn't know bingeing can cause them. May I ask to hear more about that? Thanks!

Neagrm,

Its alcohol induced anxiety.

Thanks, I've done a little research since reading your note. I've been naive about some of the effects of alcohol. Happened to read your post first re the anxiety and want to learn a little more what we might be dealing with. It seems to be a common effect.

Best wishes to you...

Many use the excuse that they drink to control the anxiety, where in many cases the drinking is causing the anxiety, or at a minimum making it worse.

Its not an excuse....its a crutch....and you're right...Im just kidding myself....

Intro,

You are right it's a vicious cycle. When I drink I feel better...my anxiety is gone. I wake up and then it's back so what do I do?? U guessed it drink some more. I have been working on beating the cycle and trying not to drink...or least not drink as much.
