Something’s not right

Drunk and lost

Drunk and lost

I thought the meds would help - why do I feel like smashing myself in booze in a way I haven't done since my twenties in that frequency?

Something's not right 😞

Hi @Former-Member

Hi @Former-Member

Did you just start taking a new medication? If so you may be having an adverse reaction or harsh side effects where they are not agreeing with you. Are you constantly worrying about something? The stress/anxiety may be taking its toll. Mixing meds with other self medicating substances can trigger mixed emotions/anxiety/imbalances also. Is it possible to see your medical professional asap? Hope you feel better soon. Please let us know how you get on. Hugs 🤗

@Former-Member. I hope the urge passes soon and you are able to refocus your attention to other thoughts or activities that help kerp your mind occupied.
What can you do now to distract yourself?
Drawing? Music? Cleaning out the fridge? Meditating? Exercise or dancing? Maybe even sleep.
I hope the urge passes quickly.
