Read back what you just typed there then stop being a fucking retard and go see a doctor. That's not normal.

Well in sub terms, to keep on topic and show the value to the mods/admin:

If there are broken iPhones, lost gun, and bitten hands. Its Anthony bad.

If you start a boy band, pretend you're a badass military vet, while also being a racist pedophile. It's Joe bad.

If your wife ends up smothered, you molest your daughter, and you marry someone else shortly after. Its Patton bad.

Otherwise it's just Lady Di bad.

I mean, if you were a regular, heavy drinker then stopped suddenly, this might be more normal. I've had long periods of heavy regular drinking and when I stop I had some mild withdrawals, but those were more like vertigo and anxiety attacks and that was enough to get me to take a short break. But if you aren't going hard something else is going on here.

Totally agree.

It’s not not not normal (it’s pretty normal).

Might be a panic attack. You got nerves like a lady.

It does sound like an anxiety episode. It's totally irrational and if you have it can happen out of nowhere.

It’s true I’m a fag and used to get these when driving out of nowhere. My doctor put me on Prozac for them a while back and they stopped. I wouldn’t recommend going on psychiatric drugs all willy nilly to anybody though just something that helped me.

I get the shit once every blue moon but not enough to take drugs for it. The type of people that should be on drugs are the ones running into the emergency room thinking they're having heart attacks. Benzos are too over prescribed when you can do breathing exercises instead

Yeah I got a gay shitty brain and do think I’m having a heart attack when I have a bad panic attack. Benzos are great for a short fix but the ssri is a more long term solution without the addictive/withdrawal potential of benzos. I keep a few Xanax around for emergencies but never really take them anymore.

Benzos were hard to come off of. Fuck that shit.

It's a panic attack dude. Don't freak out even more about it

You had a panic attack. They come out of nowhere and it’s not uncommon for someone to have their first one in a hungover state.

A side effect of drinking a large amount is anxiety. Fags on the Internet call it “hangxiety.” I used to experience it. Has to do with your serotonin. I don’t know. Read into it. Actually, don’t. You’ll think you’ll have ALS or some one her hypochondriac shit.

also downregulation of endogenous GABA levels

Yeah, hard to explain, I had one while driving, and never since, but there was no reason for it.

Yeah I clicked this to say that, sounds like a pretty cut and dry panic attack. People overuse the term like OCD so it doesnt sound as serious as it is, luckily they happen randomly and rarely, until it becomes a regular thing I wouldnt really worry about it

Did you?

We're not getting the full story here. A hangover would not do that. You were around psychotropics or having the first onset of an existing mental disorder and should see a doctor before you shoot up a preschool.

How long did the episode last?

You dumb

...this was more of a bad trip.

halfway home I wanted to crawl out of my skin, thinking about getting out of my car in the middle of the road and laying down.

I tweaked out for about an hour when I got home, hopping in and out of the shower, racing thoughts, thinking about hurting myself and feeling like I was going crazy.

This sounds very much like an anxiety or panic attack, while your brain is reaching homeostasis you'll have increased anxiety, your heart rate will be higher etc. and you'll be way more prone to have them.

Nice panic attacks, stupid. Take a xanax or any other benzo if you can get your hands on one next time you have a hangover.

Panic attacks can be dissociative. Also I’ve had a handful of hang overs that gave me a dissociative-adjacent feeling. I’d say it’s most likely a little of column A and a lot of column B. Still, see a doctor.

Yeah you don't feel 'there' exactly during a panic attack... and checking your HR is another indicator it was most likely just a panic attack.

They're awful to experience but harmless. I've had several pretty bad ones before and they're exactly like what you wrote in the OP. I didn't know what the fuck it was either at the time.

You been in any traumatic accidents or shit like that? I was diagnosed with post traumatic stress and a hangover will just make anxiety worse, so I stay away from booze mostly now.

We all have anxieties brotherman; big/small, unfounded or not; the booze is just making shit worse. That's what it does... when it starts to wear off.

It's no secret that alcohol withdrawal = increased anxiety. The lack of sleep on top probably made it worse. You said you fell asleep right after. Being exhausted will also increase your susceptibility to panic attacks and the like.

thinking about getting out of my car in the middle of the road and laying down.

racing thoughts, thinking about hurting myself and feeling like I was going crazy.

This is textbook panic attack stuff my man. The first one is a 'flight' reaction (needing to run/get out of the situation e.g. driving) and the second one is universal; you pretty much always feel like you're going crazy. Your amygdala is firing during a panic attack; it's basically your brain switched on survival mode. So you get crazy thoughts obsessing about self-preservation and your safety.

It's cool brotherman, hopefully it was just booze induced. Most people experience one of these at some point in their life, usually under a lot of stress though. I hope you checked out the empties this morning.

Panic attacks are harmless? I feel like that's what people say who never actually had one. They're terrifying. So . Fuck you?

I've been diagnosed with PTS from a few things including a stabbing last yr, and several other near death experiences. I've woken up having a full blown panic attack that were x100 times worse than anything i've experience while awake. Like, I've woken up while running around the house screaming & sweating profusely with an unshakable conviction that I'm going to die. It takes me a while after one of those for my pupils to stop being wide as saucers and my heart rate to drop from something obscene. I can't adequately describe the terror during one of those episodes; it's worse than imaginable - worse than words can do justice. Severe panic attacks are bad enough that they have made me consider committing suicide a few times, but knowing that they're harmless (they're not going to kill you) and temporary is the only thing that keeps me going when they're bad.

Schizophrenia is contagious ive infected at least 3 motherfuckers here. It's your turn now

Had the same shit happen to me I pulled over could barely move to get out of the car. Like my hands were locked on the wheel and I couldn't move my foot off the brakes. Once I got out of the car I was thinking I was having a heat attack or something and was considering calling 911. But at the time I was drinking like a mother fucker and just got off Xanax a week before. I've always had anxiety so once I got off Xanax it was 100x worse. So I'm guessing a panic attack? I slowed down drinking and got used to no more benzos after about 3 weeks and it got better and haven't had it happen since.

I only had one and it was while I was driving on a busy highway—it felt like a miracle that i was able to pull off into the shoulder and eventually ever make it home.

Hey. It's ok. Friend.

Obviously, you make excellent life decisions by asking this sub for opinions on your mental illness. What could possibly go wrong here?

Is it possible you were low on blood sugar and might have been having a hypoglycemic attack?

Did you have your half-slice of pizza for dinner yet?

What did you do with the other half of the sandwich?

Atta boy

See a real doctor, for sure. That doesn't seem normal.

Sounds like anxiety / panic attack, which could be exacerbated by alcohol, sounds psychological because you said this:

racing thoughts, thinking about hurting myself and feeling like I was going crazy

Do you take any other meds?

It hasn't happened to me, but I've gotten so drunk with friends and then it happened to them. I think you're just a homosexual.

How strong of dissociation did you feel? Does sound like a panic attack but don't know how booze would induce that.

Did you freeze up and think you could be dying?

You have anxiety, get some nardil

I'm guessing a panic attack. A few months ago I was organising my porn hard drives, yanno, Whores name, Website, and to delete the interracial stuff. But at one point I opened up a file with a woman with a massive meaty clit and lips and it freaked the fuck out of me for around 90 minutes.

That got removed through ccleaner multiple times to make sure, I have never been so disgusted in my life

Sounds an awful lot like a panic attack. Out of curiosity, did you eat anything after you woke up? They can be triggered by low blood sugar which happens after you drink the night before.

Depending on your level of panic, it could have taken your body a while to digest it hence feeling better after you woke up. Most important thing is to learn the signs. Panic attacks always start with "something isn't right" and then your mind goes from there.

Congratulations, you're schizophrenic!

How many other drugs have you done in your life and how hard did you hit them? I’ve been off drugs for a long time and to this day I’ll have weird little episodes once in a blue moon. If this has only happened once I’d chalk it up to “shit happens” and move on.

No,ya got some other shit going on.Ask Dr. STEVE

Feel better fartpoop!

I once got really high and had inter dimensional entities visit me

had inter dimensional entities visit enter me

Lol, to feel this much like a broken vagina after 8 drinks is pathetic beyond beleif.

Sounds like derealization. Brought on by anxiety. I’ve had it a couple times driving as well. All it takes is your surroundings and general base line perception of reality to be a little off and then your brain goes nuts for a while. It’s a fight or flight response. It’s interesting that you said you felt like you were an inch outside our body as this is usually a common symptom with derealization. You feel like you’re more of an observer over yourself than being in control.

ITT everyone suffers from anxiety from booze, including me

I went through a period where i was doing a lot of acid and cocaine and i started getting panic attacks like these a lot. You have to confront whatever underlying issue you’re freaking out about. That might mean not drinking and taking better care of yourself.

Get on some meds.

Who hasn't?

There is a thing called rebound anxiety that occurs the day after you drink. Drinking reduces anxiety, physically, and your body is always trying to get back to baseline so it releases more of the anxiety chemicals to compensate. once the alcohol is processed out of your body, those anxiety chemicals are still there, so now you will feel panicky.

Not sure this is the place to come for psych advice. I question your decision making skills.

if you drink regularly and then skip a while then pour it on again while blood sugar is low you can initiate or help a first or second panic attack. I recommend continually drinking with plenty of porn intake without answering your phone or door for weeks

Did you freeze up and think you could be dying?

I only had one and it was while I was driving on a busy highway—it felt like a miracle that i was able to pull off into the shoulder and eventually ever make it home.
