Anxiety or something more?

Alright,

     Let me first say that my distinct personality is on the nervous side, i understand that, it's genetic, my mom (thanks) bestowed this wonderful personality disposition upon me, lol. Anyways, I'm 22 and i'm supposed to start my period on Feb 4, exactly three days away. Let me tell you, i'm feeling awful! Despite the regular physical symptoms and my increased anxiety i'm feeling really "dreamy" and "dazy", like i'm really trying to concentrate on my school and study hard and focus but i'm just not feeling like I can. This normally wouldn't bother me but i'm worried because i drank this past Thursday the 28th and I drank a whole pint of Bacardi by MYSELF, Im a college student and i know it was stupid, i'm never drinking again, but i "blacked out" several times that night, not like passing out, like talking and walking but i just cannot remember it. Luckily, i was at my apt. with just my roommate and i was on the phone with my boyfriend the whole time. I know this effect occurs when your body just cannot take the amount/and or speed at which you drank.

     Ok, so after that i'm been freaking out thinking that i damaged my memory somehow from drinking that much, like maybe thats the reason i'm feeling so hazy/dreamy/trouble focusing? Everybody around me says that to damage your memory you have to have been drinking heavily almost everyday for awhile, but i'm just worried. Also, i have considered that the reason i'm feeling all hazy is because i'm focusing on it and i'm not really concentrating on going about my day and finally, it could just be my red river on it way.

     Please, only serious answers, i'm already feeling stupid and very freaked out. Oh, and also, I'm slightly underweight, i'm 5'7" and I weigh about 113/114, maybe all the alcohol isn't out of my system yet? Or this could just be PMS? Please help, i'm really scared :(

Yeah, they really don't mix well, not at all, i agree. Haha i just talked to my boyfriend and he was like, "oh you said you hit your head a few times". Haha, yeah, way to make my anxiety better babe, lol. But, i think in order to have some sort of damage from that, you'd know it the next day by having a huge bruise/bump or possibly bloody cut, which i have none of those. I dunno, this is sooooo scary, Honestly i just feel literally stupid, like stuff is harder to understand, but im guessing thats just bc i'm soo focused on this and not really paying attention. Anxiety truly is a terrible illness. Thanks thought, and your english is not bad, thanks for replying!

Anxiety and Alcohol do not mix lol, I have found that out first hand I used to drink one night on the weekend but I used to binge you did that night for days after I would feel a bit weird the day after I would get tingly hands and ussually not manage to get out of bed I would have little panic attacks all day and feel weird for days after that like not myself...but I continued drinking and one weekend i was out friday and saturday and the sunday I had something called a hyperventilation attack due to my anxiety and becuz i'd been drinking anyway I ended up on oxygen and a drip in hospital all night, almost passed out my hands clenched up and my body started tingling all over I couldnt get up or breathe worst night ever...well now I try to avoid alcohol completely...Alcohol started my anxiety in the first place.

Its probably you drank to much your body is feeling a bit drained and anxiety is taking over...thats probably about it. hope you feel better soon anyway. am 22 aswell its hard to stay off the alcohol when all my mates are drinking but you have a good time anyway and it doesnt bother me now.

Thank you very much! Actually that makes me feel alot better, now that I think of it, when i was younger and going through a really hard time with anxiety i would get this dreamy feeling, and it def seems to relate somewhat in this situation.

Thanks again

The alcohol would be long since gone from your system. You say you are a nervous person as a rule. So what else can it be? Derealization? Sounds a bit on the edge on that. Were things can seem hazy and sounds louder and people even further away. It is a bit like a fix without having to take anything at all. Can frighten the be japers out of anybody that goes through it. I am not saying that is the answer. It is just a first guess. People drink. I'm Irish and 40 and I still have my wits about me. I know many a person who have drank and drank and drank ( Is a national hobby in Ireland ) and they never had any problems at all. Saying all of that, I am not telling people to go out drinking. Our blood is already 100% proof. It is how we are born. I am serious though. The drinking might have frightened you somewhat. Fed you ideas. But I don't for one moment think it is the reason for what you are going through. Derealization would be my guess. If i am allowed one guess. Others will comment also. You can read the answers and see what you get out of them. Hope things pick up for you. Slainte.
