There's No Escape

Hi Friends,

It's been a while since I've been here.
For the most part my anxiety has been under control, I've tried alternative methods that seem to have worked but every now and again that dark cloud sets in. Tonight just happens to be one of those times.
I somehow managed to drink a whole bottle of wine at game night so now of course I'm panicking about that, wondering if I completely embarassed myself. Last night was out for drinks with some coworkers and my boss, as I was leaving I lost my balance slightly as I was getting up to leave so of course I'm thinking "crap...what did I do? what if my boss thinks I was drunk?" Just wish these negative thoughts would stop creeping in to my head but it seems there's no escape.

Yes but you should have known that alchohol worsens our symptoms especially if you are on some kind of medication. Even without meds alchohol and caffeine can be the worst two that triggers our anxiety. There is no escape if you keep doing what is not right. I don't know why people complain after drinking. Drinking WILL affect your condition.

anxious,

If anything comes of that with your boss, just say you tripped or something. I am so awkward and clumsy anyway that this would be feasible sober or not.

Those black clouds will come back around, but they will pass just like a real black cloud. Sometimes you take two steps forward and one step back. Keep plugging.
