Alcohol triggers anxiety and panic attacks, there is nervousness as short as 5 hours and anxiety a week after intoxication it can also irritate GI lining causing ulcers. How is your relationship with your parents? What makes you view others as superior? Your self perception is being influenced by your negative beliefs it is something difficult to go through don't be afraid to ask for more help / post

It's not that I didn't get a diagnosis, those are different opinions from therapist's over the years. The first Dr. I saw was not a therapist per say he was the one who writes Rx's and that's exactly how he put it. so we tried a few different things. Lexapro and Xanax, the state had given me the klonopin and lithium. from before... any ways so then I saw this doc. he said G.A.D. and S.A.D. after bad result's with the Lexapro. I decided I wanted to try and talk to a therapist and go off pills. So the first Therapist I saw said PTSD. I had a major falling out with her because she was talking to my parents and I felt betrayed so I went to a new Therapist that specializes in Anxiety, she seem's to also think I have traits like PTSD and plans to do therapy with me for it, all though she has never out and out said it. but what boggles my mind is I don't have flash backs... My relationship with my parents is rocky my dad is 62 now and still an *** but I do love him and has stopped being physically violent... and for awhile now but from a young age to until I was big enough to really swing back it was.. hell. he always told me I was a waste... useless things like that, along with the beatings. so it's complex I don't wish to think bad of him and I tell myself I forgive him but... it's a vicious cycle. the alcohol and drugs was very bad I have been in the hospital 3 times for overdoses.. but so I stopped all the drugs and had been drinking on and off not daily but binge drink maybe twice a month. The ulcer has stopped that.. for now I don't plan on drinking but that a whole other issue. but the Anxiety has been there always that's the reason I drank ease the anxiety... even though I know it creates more in the long run the break from worry esp in social settings was worth it... till it just became me drinking alone when I got to dang depressed.
