Anxiety morning after drinking?
Has anyone else had this? What can I do? I hate that my ocd is focusing on my heart rate seriously! It’s so scary!

Yep. I stopped drinking for a bit until I’m further in my recovery. It’ll pass. Maybe just focus on typical things that help with hangovers like a lot of water and gentle foods, or take a nap.
@LittleBird Thank you! ❤️
Yes absolutely, I’ve had this many times throughout my life. I found that drinking was a huge trigger for me and it caused the anxiety/depression/ocd to run rampant the next few days. Many of my current ocd themes stem from drinking. To get thru the bad stuff now (hangover stage) just focus on self care and getting thru it. For long term, consider cutting alcohol out of your diet and re-evaluating your own health, habits, friends etc. Alcohol makes ocd worse for sure. In short, just be real with yourself.
I second this. I’m a heavy drinker now experiencing negative health outcomes on account of it. Can’t say I’ve had success reducing my consumption to the degree I should, but it certainly exacerbates my anxiety. Same with nicotine, which I’ve been addicted to for 20+ years (since I was 15)
Yeah i had serious hangxiety in my early 20s!! Didn't drink too often, but im not sure if i grew out of it or if my liquor of choice contributed. I never really blacked out (thank God) and i used to drink sugar+vodka which made me super hyper and then the next day i was rly anxious about it 😭 started drinking beer instead and it helped, but i really don't drink much. And if im going through bad ocd i don't drink at all
Thank you so much! I appreciate it!
I couldn't believe that this shit is OCD......how can i treat it....my brain is gonna burst...idk guys😫😫😫...this shit is really sucking me...what can i do...pls help me
Hi I’m new to this app. Just wondering if anyone has the OCD type I have. I get very anxious after I go out and have drinks (when I go out I party) and my mind tells me I do things I know I didn’t do, But keeps tricking me telling me it might have happened and I get so scared because they are so awful. I’m having a terrible couple days now, fighting with myself, just loaded with fear. I haven’t had this in years and it just came back so strong. I feel lost.
Does anyone have advice for intrusive thoughts while tipsy? I haven experience this before and then a random thought hit me! Had this happen. The buzz had warn off but it still freaked me out cause I don’t know it was OCD or an actual thought. I got anxiety really bad after.
Does anyone drink? I used to binge drink a lot but started realizing my anxiety would be a lot worse the next day so I’ve been trying to cut back but last night had some drinks and I’m kinda upset at myself . I think I just need to go sober but it’s hard. Has anyone dealt With this
