ocd hangxiety

Simple, cut out drinking. I know energy drinks and excessive coffee will cause my anxiety to flare and I'm aware that OCD intrusive thoughts etc are an anxiety induced disorder. So now I've began limiting my caffeine intake. Figure out what is causing the problem and then tackle it head on. Clearly yours is alcohol. So cut it out or if you do choose to have a glass of wine or a few beers, do it in a comfort zone and not around others which in return exonerate your "ocd hangxiety"

I’ll never drink alcohol again ruins my mood and progress

I have a really similar experience. The obvious solution is to cut out drinking, but i completely understand the social desire and it’s something that affects me too. I’ve started substituting for non-alcoholic drinks but if I do partake, making sure that I manage the physical symptoms of hangover really, really well. Staying hydrated and eating well, even with just one drink helps me because I’ve found that the physical symptoms like dehydration and nausea make it harder to manage to mental ruminating and obsessive worry

I have similar experiences when I drink I feel like I just say stupid stuff to people and then I worry about it a lot later. One of my exposures is to write a list of all the times I’ve felt like I might’ve offended someone/the things that I spiral about and then I have to read that list a few times a week. It’s really helped with my social anxiety. I also just try to be mindful of it when I drink. Like if I say something stupid I try to just apologize and move on. Usually that’s the best way forward. I struggle with reassurance seeking as well so I try to just get reassurance one time per thing
