Severe hangxiety right now. I lashed out at a stranger last night and I can't stop overthinking. How do I fix my brain?
Hey everyone. I'm dealing with a terrible hangover today, and the anxiety is absolutely crushing me. I am overthinking every tiny detail and my brain won't shut off.
Last night I was at a bar, trying to greet some new people, and they totally ignored me and wouldn't even shake my hand. I felt really rejected and let that anger build up. When I got back to my place, there was a rickshaw puller sleeping near my home with a lady (maybe his wife, I'm not sure). Because I was carrying that anger from the bar, I took it out on them and told them to get the f*** out of there.
Now, in the cold light of day, the guilt is eating me alive. I feel terrible for doing that to people who were just trying to sleep. I am not going to see them again, so I can't apologize, and right now I just desperately need some peace of mind.
I have two questions for anyone who has been through this:
1. How do you fix your brain and stop the overthinking loop in the middle of severe hangxiety?
2. My anxiety is convincing me that those people are still thinking about me and want revenge. Is this just the hangxiety talking?
Any advice on how to ride this out would be really appreciated.
