I’m starting to feel paranoid. I’m in the middle of an anxiety attack but it isn’t really based on anything in particular. I just feel really nervous. I’m tired. My chest feels like there is a weight on it. I can’t stop worrying. The fear of having a panic attack is the biggest fear I have right now. I got paranoid yesterday because I drank. I was up all night. I couldn’t close my eyes. They were being forced open. I couldn’t breath right. It lasted all night and into the morning today.
I just go a puppy and it’s a lot of work. I’m afraid that she is going to be to much to handle. I can’t take it at 5am. I just let my dad deal with her and I go back to bed. I feel bad about him having to take care of my dog but I am just not a morning person.
Maybe quit drinking if you can.
Yeah I’m trying. Unsuccessfully. But yesterday just hammered home the fact I need to quit. I get paranoid every time I drink now. But for some reason I keep doing it. My psych dr wants me to do AA or talk to a drug and alcohol counselor. But I guess I just don’t want to admit I need that. I think I can do it on my own. I just got a puppy so she takes up most of my time now. I just get urges and I go get a drink.
yea, i understand a puppy is a lot!!
your dad is probably happy to help you to handle her/him
when my mum got a new puppy it was very difficult for all of us, it took 3 of us to take it in turns (mum was hit by a car, she was a pedestrian at the time)
she’s better now but he’s a lot more easy as an adult
he’s 3 now and a little bit like a child, but depending on how much exercise the breed needs you might be okay
you might have to try to be a morning person but that could happen with time
they’re not puppies for that long at 5 months it won’t last that much longer
congrats on her/him
good luck and sorry you are having panic problems
Thanks for the thought. I am waking up a few hours earlier. She gets up at 5am and so does my dad. I usually go back to bed until 7:30 or 8am. I sleep on the floor next to her crate so I never get a great nights rest
i’m so close to this phase of alcoholism, nearing as myself … i think i got paranoid last time i drank
i used to go when i needed it even less
but it’s a real ■■■■■■ when it gets bad and i hope you go to aa
it really helps to ‘ruin your drinking’ by which you drink less or don’t progress as fast even when you’re not going to meetings ive found
o f course then one day the hope is that you have had enough and do the 12 steps
i do overeaters anonymous
it’s a fellowship for all eating disorders

i always used to sleep on the floor (by the way) not next to the crate, just at my own place
