struggling
I'm at my boyfriends mom's house to celebrate his grandma's birthday. The family is super loud and everything is chaotic... in a good way, ofcourse. I just guess I am overwhelmed and so used to taking a glass of wine and sitting by myself. Trying to keep busy in conversation, but it's giving me a head ache and all I want to do is drink

You can always excuse yourself and go outside.
Is there somewhere in the house you could sit quietly for a few minutes? I actually like chaos, but then I live alone so I'm in quiet places maybe too much.
You've got this. Good job posting here. You've got to learn to live through these emotions. I understand. In early days I wanted to run - frequently. I didn't. You'll be okay.

Hi blueeyes 
if you can't find a quiet spot or go outside - even sitting in the bathroom for a while works, and you can't go home...just console yourself with the thought that this is a finite experience - it will be over soon

As others said, go outside. Get some air. Some people just don't understand that not everyone wants to be in the middle of a loud group of people.
My in-laws are the same way. There are multiple conversations going on and everyone is trying to shout over everyone else. That's just the way they are. I'd be the one off making a drink to escape. Just remember you don't need the drink, just escape.

I got home about an hour ago and I was definitely a bit irritable. I feel bad because on the ride home I took it out in my boyfriend, and I just felt so 'on edge'. He knows I'm struggling so he just let me pick a fight and then walked away. I did apologize though, he understood. I wrote for a while in my journal and that definitely helped. Now I'm going to read. I appreciate all of the support guys
