r/hangxiety

I want to start by saying yes I know there are others in the same boat as me regarding going on a 3 day bender for the 4th of July. With that being said, I want to provide context here because I feel without it there would be a lot of missing pieces.

Firstly, I’m 24 years old and I’ve lived in 2 states both of which were/are for school and my parents do not live in the state I’m residing in. As a matter of fact no family lives near me so I’m essentially alone here. Despite this I chose to come here because I want to pursue my academics and start my career.

Up until this weekend I have been pretty responsible in regards to my drinking (maybe once or twice a month outside of special occasions and never during the week). This weekend however my college friends and I decided to return to our Alma mater and get together to celebrate the holiday.

I proceeded to drink a disgusting amount of beers and black out basically 2 days in a row nonstop. Now I’m facing the consequences of this which is fine I knew this would happen but it’s bringing along a lot of self reflection.

The first thing I realized is while I am in a great mood when I’m drinking if I get upset I really let it off, granted it takes a lot for me to get there but it scares me. It’s not just anger though it’s also sadness, paranoia, and just a complete disregard for what I say when I’m in public. I’ve been working really hard on myself since my move I go to therapy got on well needed antidepressants and have been dedicating myself to my studies and work.

Now the real issue, I have a really bad habit of lying when I get drunk, it can be about something menial and stupid or in the case of this weekend it could’ve literally ruined my career before it started. Thankfully I was not the only one very drunk so it didn’t end up affecting me (that I know of).

All this to say simply, my life seems better when I don’t drink. If it wasn’t for the socialization of alcohol and it being almost a necessity to go out to bars and things like that I just want to know what exactly I should do here. I’m young enough where I can make the pivot but would it set me back? Is this just the anxiety manifesting itself or is this a real concern? All questions that i don’t have an answer for and idk why im coming here to talk about it but im hoping it’ll help.

Obviously seems a little dramatic.

But I’m a Canadian in the US right now for the 4th. Of course a bunch of partying the last few days.

This morning I woke up hung, but felt semi fine. Oddly once we go to our other friends house I haven’t been able to stop thrown up. Since at leave 12. To the point I’m burning my throat from the stomach acid.

I went to urgent care here, they checked my heart and said seemed fine but some reason wouldn’t give me a IV. Told me to go to the ER which is where I am now prepaying they’ll give me an IV. I’ve never experienced something to this extent.

I’m finally starting to keep some water down, but anxiety all time through the roof. Took a 1mg lorazepam earlier to try and calm down but have one more. I can’t believe this happened I’m trying to ride it out but the panic isn’t helping I keep thinking I’m gonna stroke because my left arm keeps going weird but I just have bad nerves lol. I just can’t believe this happened, but I’m assuming I just didn’t drink water yesterday like an idiot. But was fun lol.

Any words of encouragement

I got blackout drunk last night and I came out to my family and also pulled each aside to cry to them and tell them how much I love them. Even to my brother’s friend I told him I’d “kill myself if you died”. Super embarrassing and I could tell everyone was embarrassed for me when I woke up this morning

I’m usually never that emotional around people so it’s just another layer of weirdness

My friend is moving away and I won’t be seeing her a a long time so I went on a bender for a week with her…. The one night I got kicked out of 2 bars, an uber and fell off a bridge. Last night I met up with a guy I really really like and I was so mean and ignorant, I know it happened and there is nothing I can do about it, I blacked out and I messed up, I just hope I didn’t ruin all my relationships. I feel so depressed with everyone being mad at me and feel terrible about everything that I’ve done. If you have done worse can you please share so that I don’t feel so alone
Just a edit to say it gets better, what happens happens, things can always be a lot worse I could have hurt a lot more people and if there is people who judge you from one bad night then you don’t need them in your life

I have bad anxiety anyway, so hangxiety is awful for me. I drank 10 white claws last night before and during a concert. When I got back to my friends apartment I had my own room and listened to tiktoks and music on my phone without headphones. They had an ac on so I hope they didn’t hear and slept thru it but I’m so embarrassed if they did. I know this sounds like not a big deal idk why I’m even spiraling about it ugh, please reassure me

Oh boy, the embarasment and hangxiety is kicking my ass even after 3 days. How I got into this emotional mess is of course my fault.

This past saturday I found myself with some friends at a local dive bar and after a few beers I decided to chat with this woman and we talked and drank for a good few hours I think, even held hands. At this point I was quite drunk and she looked in my eyes and for some fucking reason I decided to try and kiss her. She managed to turn away at the last second and said nothing about it, so my little peck hopefully never landed.

So I am left with the knawing feeling of having acted like a creep and I hope that I didnt make her feel uncomfortable.

Hangxiety has been a constant in my life for years now and getting worse everytime.

Spontaneously took shrooms at a party when drunk & blacked out. Know I was being really weird but have no memories for hours. It’s been days and the hanxiety is still killing me - when will it stop?

It was four cocktails. I haven’t seriously drank in around 6 months and today I decided to see if I could. It was great in the sense that I didn’t overdo it. I’m used to drinking 8 or 9 when I would drink. I definitely had a problem. I quit for these 6 months because of the insane anxiety attacks I would get in the middle of the night. Have been to the ER maybe 6-7 times bc of it and each time they told me I was fine, to stop drinking. The first time was sort of silly too. I drank one beer, got anxiety and then took a klonopin and freaked out that I was going to OD from the combo.

This time was different, drank 4 drinks in 4 hours, came home and slept like 3 hours and then took my klonopin. Was fine bc I was distracted by conversation for a few hours, but then when it was time for bed (this is like the 15th time to happen to me) I had a panic attack and now I’m on hour five of the wave coming down. First 2 hours were the worst. Threw up from the anxiety and then started feeling better. Writing this out helps me. I’ll probably delete. I have no problem with abstaining from alcohol from now on, but I wonder if I am an alcoholic and the anxiety attacks are the only thing that’s keeping me from drinking. The risk isn’t worth the reward. The risk is so intense. 4 drinks isn’t worth me staying up all night.

I also feel like I tried to do some sort of exposure therapy with the drinking to see if I could not overdo it and not have an anxiety attack. I didn’t overdo it in my opinion (if you disagree I totally understand) but I definitely got the anxiety attack.I know a lot of the things I’ve said in this text is not what a doctor or a therapist would recommend. They’d recommend I completely quit drinking for the rest of my life. I’ve made great progress on slowing down but alcohol was definitely a very close friend to me for quite a long time. Whether it be the anxiety, or my own will, I’m thankful I no longer binge drink the way I used to.

So I go to my family for almost every holiday and we are going up there again for 4th of July. We aren’t huge drinkers so we don’t have a need to have a big drink fest but holy cow my family is awful. They are the most narcissistic people I’ve ever met. My family ends up being the ones to do the cooking and cleaning. None of my other family ever helps out. They always say something rude to me or insult me and my family. Sometimes, I do wish we had drinks to get through their awfulness. But even if I have one beer they make rude comments about it. How do I survive a sober July 4th with my rude family yall?

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.

Can everyone please tell me the most embarrassing thing they’ve done regarding a newer crush while drunk? Especially if they still talked to you after!!!!
I am in shambles over my behavior lol

I’m not sure if I’m in the right place. But I think I have anxiety. I feel weird. I have been forever it feels like it. But I just brushed it off. “I’m a man” right? Well here lately I just feel I’m in trouble all the time. I feel like something bad is going to happen. My heart beat hard. Not fast just hard. Need to take deep breaths. Paranoid. Drive with caution like I’m going to get pulled over or an accident. I can’t sleep. Once I’m falling asleep it’s like a jolt of “ansias” if that makes any sense to anyone here. Like my muscles tense up. I feel like I drank Red Bull and strong pre workout and I’m coming down that caffeine rush. I stopped pre workout earlier this year. Just drink coffee in the morning but even before my first sip I feel like I’m in trouble. I pretend I’m okay with my daughters but I really tell my wife that she’s my safe haven. When I’m around her I can chill but other than that it’s like I snorted the strongest pre workout their is and just paranoid. Idk if I’m in the right sub but if anyone can help would be great. I do have a lot on my plate but I don’t feel stressed. I feel like I’m handling well. I work 50-60hrs a week, taking online classes, 3 kids, one who is going to college and we need to get an apartment for. But all that I got it. I don’t have bad thoughts or anything like that. It’s just physically exhausting. I do worry here and there about my young ones being at grandmas all day but I think that’s normal? Idk I don’t want to go get on meds and be all dumbed down. I am physical. I lift and run 5 times a week. When I’m at the gym I feel good but still like I took pre. I can go on and on . Sorry for the long post but I’m worried. I’m a 36 male by the way.

my friend said this:u started drinking random drinks off the table including mine and then the security saw then kicked u out then everyone was abt to go home but i saw u and that person so i called nova n she came then u went to go stand somehwee then a guy started bothering u tryna steal ur purse n u kept running back to them for some reason then tried to push them but u ended falling down multiple times

im feeling pretty bad can someone tell me somethin worse happened to them :(

UODATE: he was so nice about it and said everything is fine lol

I got invited to a World Cup event last night by my crush that I’ve only met twice briefly it was his event, and I got absolutely hammered. I was annoyed because I barely got to talk to him and then when me and my friend left, I for some reason called him five times and then texted him that he’s a bitch… Then I texted him this morning apologizing. I don’t think he’ll care about the bitch part but the five phone calls was a little much help. Am I cooked lol

I'm curious if you guys always need a reason to experience hangxiety (did something objectively embarrassing the night before) or if it automatically manifests as physical anxiety due to biological neurotransmitter rebound effect?

Do you think that people only experience hangxiety after doing something embarrassing are experiencing genuine hangxiety, or is it just regret? Not saying I think this, just interested to hear your thoughts.

Ever since I had a drink too many years ago, I experienced my first hours lasting panic attack.

Started after rushing to get somewhere by train in early morning. Was really bad and not an experience to repeat.

I take antidepressants now and my panic attacls had lessened until... today. Had a few vodka drinks in a row. Then beer. Whaddayaknow, next day, severe anxiety that is still there, but yeah... can say, if you experience this, rest. If you feel a wave coming of discomfort, rest. Just rest. Despite work, school... cos once the panic attack triggers its hard to get rid of.

Hello all

I feel compelled to let everyone know a cocktail that I came up with that left me feeling absolutely fine after a 12 night in a row heavy drinking session while in the US for the World Cup.

Each day consisted of around 8-12 hours of drinking and everyday and night I was drunk. I only got around 6 hours of sleep a night too.

It’s worth noting that i usually suffer from hangovers and anxiety so this absolutely did the trick.

Morning:
1 x electrolyte sachet
1 x high strength vitamin B
1 x high strength vitamin C
1 x (most important) - Rhodiola & Ashwagandha with L-Theanine

Before drinking
1 x Dr Hang supplement - https://amzn.eu/d/0i3luRFM

After drinking (Before bed)
1 x electrolyte sachet
2 x Dr Hang supplement
1 x high strength L-Theanine

I put every pill bottle in my hold luggage and had no issues.

Hope this helps other people out there.

Thanks!

Got way too wasted last night completely blacked out . I feel like I wanna die not remembering my hangxiety is so bad right now I’m shaking . I really want to kill myself to make it all stop . I feel like everyone hates me

What do you do when you have bad hangxiety?

​

I went on a 2 day bender, but I didn't blackout. Saturday was fine, but Sunday was a mistake. I didn't eat well and started the day drinking. Now I'm going through it. Hungry but not dehydrated. I get panic attacks just thinking of going to the restroom or even turning in bed.

I usually lay on the couch all day researching fast hangover cure or on reddit with a bottle of water and a cup of chamomile tea knowing time is the only cure.lol

I had it worse where I have panic attacks that I'm just pacing around the living room with the dry heaves for the whole day. Right now, I'm just laying in bed sweating with air conditioning on full blast trying to get some sleep. I've been awake since 4am. I hate that my sister and brother could sleep it off.
