alcohol can actually cause panic attacks in some people..i'm one of them..so it's like you're on a slippery slope anyway. glad you're going to see another T if you think that will help. small steps toward better things i hope for you. 
there are some anxiety medications out there that aren't so volatile as zanex. not promoting one but i do take something else now cause zanex on it's own has caused many people problems. i for one am scared to death of it!..and i don't drink anymore "one day at a time".
keep us posted on how you're doin', k?..  |
i honestly think ive used alcohol to self medicate slow my head down slow my thought process. but what im going through now is completely foreign to me. i never had panic attacks, severe anxiety, im strong, when a relationship ends i move on i dont waste time on grieving and feeling like its my fault. i dont know why i am so weak right now. its totally not me. im literally praying and hoping this is temporary and somehow i will end up back on my feet and looking at the glass half full. i am worried about the xanax ive had allot of side effects. dreams that i cant tell if it was a dream or reality. sometimes i get completely lost. like i forget where i am or where im going, i know that sounds really bad but im almost ok with it cuz the alternative, the panic attacks and extreme anxiety i really dont like
