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.

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

The Morning Anxiety
I always wake up full of dread and fear. My anxiety is through the roof two seconds after I open my eyes. Someone on this app gave me a similar insight once I believe. But I think anxiety is just the urge to ruminate. About what? It probably doesn’t matter, as long as I can torture myself, as OCD loves. Does anyone else relate to this or agree maybe?

Rolling Anxiety Attacks with OCD?
Does anyone have any experience with this? I wake up early with severe, severe anxiety and nothing seems to help. I try embracing the anxiety, breathing, and exercising. But these things only seem to help a little. Fortunately, I do think the length of the attacks are getting shorter (mainly because I'm still trying my best to live normally in spite of them), but they are still lasting a good 5-6 hours. They are quite debilitating. Does anyone have any advice for dealing with these? I've read much about potential solutions (being okay with the anxiety), but I was looking for some personal antecdotes. Thank you

Health ocd is really bad today
Hi everyone. I take hydroxyzine 50 mg every night for anxiety for about five months. I’ve been experiencing at least one heart palpitation a day so of course I went down my googling spiral and saw people say it gave them cardiac arrest? I’m only 19 but I’m so so scared. Please someone help me.
