Dude, you may be trying to avoid stressful situations with people.
i have not been feeling very social lately
being abstinent from alcohol has been a huge change in my life, havent really gone out much since.
im drowning in mud, my friend.
definitely familiar stuff. having spent years on (and off) the wagon i definitely can say alcohol consumption is a huge factor on my depression. ironically me trying not to fk up a bus ride is keeping me (more or less) sober. in the past i've heard (and experienced) taking over a year to feel more normal-ish, but then there's other issues >.<
Same here. Currently sober, but have come very close to drinking again. But I dare not, because once I start drinking I literally cannot stop until I collapse into a drunken coma. But then again, I REALLY miss how it makes me feel as regards taking away my anxiety.
I've been there Brother. One particular bout of crushing depression turned me into a vegetable. Didn't shave or bathe for approximately 6 weeks, which was unusual because I have OCD and am usually very germaphobic. It sounds like you too are probably experiencing a particularly bad bout of depression. Please be wary of getting skin infections, lice etc. I had lice in my beard, pubes etc because I hadn't washed in ages. I hope you find a way out of this my friend. I hope you get better, if that's what you want.
was also a constant binge drinker that could only stop once i felt satisfied woth my drunkenness.Same here. Currently sober, but have come very close to drinking again.

That's so true: Drinking actually made me feel free, and more outgoing. But the downsides of it all are terrible. The dreadful hangovers, and delerium tremens after you've been on a long bender. I was hallucinating just before I went into alcohol rehab and this 7 foot chicken crawled out from under my bed. It was wearing a cowboy hat and leather underpants. It gave me a really evil look, then pulled down its pants. It had a big horrible chicken cock, it said in a horrible chicken voice that it was going to fuck me up. I ran out of the house because it started chasing me. I have been sober ever since.
that sounds funny yet terrifying as fuck.
Absolutely. I am anxious everyday. I also suffer from panic attacks, but not as much as I used to. Most days are a battle to resist buying some booze. I really miss certain aspects of it. But I definitely don't ever want to see that fucking chicken again.
How long ago did you quit? Are you able to go to a doctor and get checked out?
the fucking anxiety is so annoying constantly on the verge of panicing.
2 months now so not in danger of seizures or anything, i think my brain just has a hard time coping with being clear all the time which in turn causes snxiety for me.
It's been 7 months since I quit. The Doctors in the UK are useless so I never bother seeing them for checkups etc. Last time I saw a Doctor was just before leaving rehab. They just wanted to give me lots of pills but I refused.
that is a fkn war story there man WOW i don't, i mean, i been to A LOT of meetings and never have i ever heard of someone getting sobered up by a 7ft cowboy chicken furry nightmare hellscape or whatever the fk that... impressive. wow.
