Sobriety & Anxiety Disorders
Sobriety & Anxiety Disorders
Hi all,
I'm on day 24 here and feel physically great. I have been experiencing problems with my mental health though. I found in the past few weeks my OCD has been through the roof and I have been a lot more anxious. I am going to the doctor today to address these issues. Have other people found they were a lot more anxious when they quit? And those with anxiety orders did they get worse? I am thinking it has to do with alcohol no longer deadening my thinking and emotions so all of a sudden my brain has more energy. Does this calm down?

Yes, agreed, my anxiety level was higher than ever when I stopped drinking. Gradually, I began to feel better, but it does take some time. It's good that you are talking to your dr.
