So lastnight I had friends over and we drank/ watched the ufc fights and today ive been out of it I feel so down and not myself it couldve been the alcohol but idk anyone have any tips?
Hi Kevin,
I’m sorry to hear that you have had a bad day. I remember last time you posted that you had buddies with you last time and the day after you mentioned feeling under the weather a day later. I believe there could be a pattern in that and it may be worth discussing this with a health professional.
Do you regularly drink alcohol or do you only drink when you are with friends? Perhaps feeling down the day after could be a hangover, as alcohol has an effect on our Central Nervous System. Some people are more sensitive to the effects of certain effects on their bodies.
I would say for now, try and figure out if there is a pattern or trigger that causes this feeling. Once you know what causes the issue you can immediately work on mitigating the feelings, I would seek out a health professional so they can give you tailored advice and suggestions. Remember too, there is nothing wrong with feeling under the weather and down. Do not let being down bring you down.
Take care of yourself, here if you need me!

Thanks for ur time reading my post i only drink on like special occasions but im feeling better just gotta stay positive ans let the anxiety do its thing
Exactly, the thoughts and feelings you get are exactly that - thoughts and feelings. You definitely seem knowledgeable with yourself and you are definitely in the right frame of mind. It could be the difference from drinking alcohol and your body just isn’t too used to the sensation of alcohol.
Take it easy and take your time, when you feel a twang of anxiety just remember it is a harmless trigger your body is giving out. The more we ignore it, the less power it has over us. Slip ups do happen but it is just about putting ourselves back on the right track.
Take care of yourself, always here if you need someone to message.
