Please help me
Just wanted to remind you that there are people around the globe who are feeling your distress and hope that you will be able to pass through it and bring order back into things. I don't sleep through the nights, so I wanted to check on how you are doing. No matter how difficult things appear to you, remember that we are here, thinking of your wellness.

Hi Tink so sorry to hear what you’re going through but I’m glad you’re posting here. You are not alone.
I remember being in your shoes so well recently so well, missing work and the anxiety I was going to lose my job. I thought I would never be okay again but I am. You will be fine.. I agree with everyone else try and get yourself to the doctor and get a sick note that will cover you for a week or so. They can’t just sack you there are policies and procedures they have to follow.
There is no shame in your situation and what you are feeling. You can get through this xx

I believe you about the breakdown, Tinkerbeau, and I do know exactly how you are feeling, as I have been there. Too tired to move, too anxious to sleep, the pacing, and the agonizing feeling that all may be on the brink of loss. These feelings are real but are brutally enhanced by the effect of coming off the alcohol.
Can you muster up the act of getting into a shower, getting dressed, and then go out to get some help? Your mind needs some relief, as well as your body does, and that is not going to change until you do something positive. You might be surprised at just how much better you would feel off if you do.

Be careful of ruminating endlessly about how you are at the moment, it only serves to lengthen the pain. There is time for reflection later, when you are more composed. When I was feeling like you do, I gave myself some additional time to rest if really needed but set a time on the clock when I would pull myself out of bed to do something purposeful about it. I do return to the action statement, because you will find a time when you will have to move on to the next thing.
How about some good news?
You will feel better soon, that's a promise.
You never have to feel like this again.
You never have to drink alcohol again.
As you begin to heal, the best advice I can give you is: never forget how you're feeling right now. You only have to do this once.
Hang in there; we all went through this, and lived to tell about it...

Im more of a binge drinker though its been getting more frequent lately Sunday, Monday and Tuesday i drank all day. I am scared of withdrawal but im more scared of killing myself with alcohol. I have been sober for 76 days b4 (and during my pregnancy) but turned back to alcohol after my dad suffered his stroke, i have found it difficult to cope ever since.

It absolutely will. I know how it feels right now, time goes so slowly, every second and minute is intolerable. The idea to have a drink is so appealing as it will temporarily make things seem ok again. The problem is, that reprieve is so very short, and then you'll be drunk again, drinking more and more to try to feel good, but all the while making things worse and then you have to do it all again tomorrow.
The ONLY way out of this hell you are in is to avoid picking up a drink. I will guess by about 8 pm tonight you will be feeling much better than you do now.
Rest, drink water when you can, little bites to eat when you can.
