Once school got out I my drinking, smoking cigars, and dipping picked up significantly. One day I started to notice some withdrawals so I chilled for a bit until they went away. Then I started up again accept with less frequency. Two days after my last drinking episode I began to feel a bit depersonalized and realized I could not focus in a summer class. It felt like there was some gunk in my brain screwing up my thought process. I really could not think like I used to. I also didn’t seem to care about much anymore. I began to freak out as if something was terribly wrong, and know I have figured that that made it much worse. My symptoms happened to coincide with a deadly brain disease so I was convinced I had it. I prepared myself for death for about two days as I waited to see a neurologist. I was pretty sure I had the disease and that death and much suffering were imminent. The neurologist assured me nothing was wrong. I began to search all day for a explanation of my symptoms. I saw a phycologist who suggested it could be anxiety. The symptoms began to occupy my thoughts constantly. One of the most distressing symptoms is that I have absolutely no emotion. No excitement. No drive to do anything. This is particularly distressing because I used to be as happy as a teen can be and very driven. There was a stretch were I was extremely anxious about my condition not going away before school started or not going away ever. This faded as I seeked anxiety help on the internet. After it faded I became very depressed due to the fact that I have no emotion. I am also very easily agitated. I have been trying to self diagnose for about a month now and I seem to be getting no where. Does anyone know what this could be? Anxiety? Depression? PTSD? or maybe a chemical imbalance induced by alcohol?

Hi, I have had panic disorder for 20 years. I control the bad attacks with 1/2 xanax. This happens mabye once a month or so. I am also newly diagnosed with insulin resistance and take 500 mg of glucophage daily. My question is about 7 years ago all of a sudden when I decided to have a drink one evening, I drank about half of the drink and my heart started to race and I broke out into a sweat. Never did that before. I tried to drink maybe twice after that and the same thing happened, so I haven’t drank since 2000. I would love to have a glass of wine at dinner or a drink when out with friends, but am afraid because of the past reaction. I by no means was a drinker, but I love the taste of wine. Just want to have maybe one drink. What could cause this to happen, and is it an allergic reaction, or was it a panic attack. By the way my heart checks out fine, so I know that isn’t it, and I am not of Asian descent.

I’m on the 21 day body cleanse and its spring break so I wanted to party for a couple days. I’m in the middle of the program and I was wondering if I should I continue taking the supplements everyday or take off a few days off while I’m partying and continue the kit when spring breaks over.

I’ve been feeling unbelievably hot and somewhat dissociated. I sure hope that what I’m going through is alcohol withdrawal, because if it isn’t then I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

I used to smoke pot but I got tired of it. Now I am on Klonopin instead and its helping my tremors, burning, tingling, and numbness. Could it be that this can be more addicting than alcohol

i heard on the news he was in a club and everyone saw him falling over and stuff :/ i <3 his music and think it would be a shame if he threw it all away cos of his drinking

we have an auricular point chart but the names of the points are in Chinese.

I’m 15 and for more than the past year I’ve been in the dumps. I don’t think I have depression cause I’m not suicidal, I just think I’m love sick. I always feel stressed out and my life sucks. My step dad is alcoholic- so its not like I can invite my friends to my house. And lately I haven’t liked my friends either. They all give people dirty looks and gossip right in front of the person they’re talking about. My friends are crappy hoes. The only person I trust with the secret about my step dad is the guy that lives in my biological dad’s state. We both like eachother. But obviously there’s an issue cause of the distance. We aren’t in a real relationship though, and even though I’ve tried to move on nothing happens. I’m not close to my mom or my sister. I dislike them both. My sister is a brat and because of my disfunctional family, I hear people screaming and fighting every single day.
Should I get drunk when no one’s around? My whole life I’ve vowed not to drink even when its legal, and be like my step dad. But now I don’t care and I just want to feel happy and relaxed.
