Thank for your knowledge and experience, because the ER will do nothing for me.

Hi Dandelion
I answered your PM this money but did not see this til now.
Wednesdays are a busy day for me in real life.
I certainly drank enough to experience paranoia and at least auditory hallucinations, if not visual ones.
I got so used to it I called it beer psychosis.
I'm not a Dr but I do know that alcohol withdrawal and benzo withdrawal are both pretty full on experiences - and so is chronic insomnia - and thats it's far more likely to be associated with that than anything about you needed to be hospitalised in a psych ward
.
Can you maybe impress on your Dr how badly you're feeling and how urgent it is you see her/him ASAP?
I really hope you change your mind about closing your account. You're among friends here
