I'm finally ready to make this a Day 1
I've still got a roof over my head; I haven't heard anything more about my drinking to be honest. And it's been quiet between me and the new housemate since. I plan to go for a light run later to help with the anxiety. It's bad but not as bad as yesterday, when I proceeded to drink some neat vodka and then projectile vomit it all over my room. To say it's been a brutal spree is quite the understatement.

I've been battling waves of anxiety all day. Expecting insomnia tonight. But I actually pulled off the run, which was no mean feat in my still pretty fragile state. Also caught up on laundry and eating again. I had gone about three days without really eating much of anything.

Day 2: I made it through. The obnoxious new housemate is blasting loud dance music now so it's more reason to stay sober and get strong. Anxiety's obviously thus still here but I know some sober time will help. And I know I've gotta watch out for this resentment but he doesn't make it easy for me. It'll be nice to get out and about later.

You can do it— maybe take a hot shower, eat some ice cream, and head to bed early. I sometimes read or watch old movies in the bedroom when I just can’t deal with my spouse’s drinking or negative attitude.
Earplugs or headphones are often involved
Have a great day 3 with your brother tomorrow!

Maybe the upped dose of SSRI will work Tet?
Tet, I know the benzos sound a good idea, but from my own experience they can turn evil on a person. Did me. It was brutal. True. Z drugs are the same though they might be dressed in a different pair of dungarees.
Won't your doctor even prescribe you short term? Have you asked?
I think you can stay sober irrespective of the anxiety Tet. Alternative therapies. When you get a bit of time up I think you'll find the anxiety becomes more manageable.
If you are experiencing 'terror' Tet, sounds like you need to see a good therapist. I've had the terror, and it sucks.
I believe in you Tet. You're not a grass.
