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.

In general, alcohol is bad for mental health. I love drinking a beer after work or going out on weekends, but because I do have OCD, when my symptoms are bad, I limit myself to one beer at social occasions. Basically, having OCD does not mean you should never drink, but just be mindful that drinking may impact your mental health.

I remember once i was very anxious while i was drinking and felt a bit dizzy while i was drinking alochol. But months later i found myself trying to force myself into not having a panic attack and i felt just like that time anxious and dizzy. So i think the first time i was not drunk i was just anxious cause i actually didnt wanna get drunk. I know it has nothing to do with what happened to you but i wanted to share you my experience heh

I felt really dizzy too and that spiked my anxiety. My intrusive thought just popped in my head and i didn’t react at first until I realized that I had had one and then the buzz went a way and anxiety started really bad lol. I have always had a fear of getting drunk so I know what you mean about becoming really anxious about getting drunk! I have been there too, I just thought I got better with that cause I have been drunk and in the past and didn’t really care about anything until the next day lol so it was very weird for me.

Very true! I usually limit myself as well to just one but my friends were drinking and I got caught up and paid for it lol. I’m feeling a bit better now it was just the weirdest experience. I have never been anxious while actually drinking, always the day after. It just shows that intrusive thoughts can happen anytime! I’m gonna lay off the drinking for awhile. I hardly do anyways lol.
