Why am I such a emotional wreck?!


Question: Why am I such a emotional wreck?
Ok, long story short. At 18 I started drinking I fell in love with alcohol it felt like a "cure" to all my problems like my OCD, my social awkwardness and I was also taking Xanax and Valium while drinking on them mostly about everyday single day and ive been smoking pot since I was 14 the longest times Ive been but I'm 22 now and my heart feels like it hurts sometimes like a tight squeeze my kidneys hurt I feel foggy I feel stupid like everythin got "dark" and "evil" I have panic attacks sometimes now I can't even drink coffee the panic attacks are decreasing though since I quit taking the Benzo's I cry everyday I wake up and can't sleep. My point is I quit taking Xanax and Valiums like 2 weeks ago and when I would take them I would take 1 blue Xanax or a Xanax Log or a 10mg Valium but since me and my bf broke up I can try to put my life together and don't have to drink and do drugs to "deal" with having a bad relationship of about 4 years and I'm tryin to cut down on pot. I am sc ared to drive I have my license I'm scared people are looking at me I'm scared to work I'm afraid I don't know why!! I always had anxiety and OCD but the alcohol is what kills me do I feel so overwhelemd all the time then sometimes I'm like "I don't have a problem" or my brother thinks I don't either but should I go to rehab? Ive been to AA I don't really like it but...ugh I don't know any advice? Sorry the paragraph is so choppy I can't think straight. PLEASE HELP THANK YOU! :)

Answers:

This will sound super simplistic, but you may have a blood sugar disorder. I would recommend starting with a blood sugar monitor (cheap, but the strips are expensive). Follow the booklet's directions on when to test (starting first thing in the morning before you eat/drink anything).

I would bet money you will find you have "low blood sugar". One sign of this is your body needing substances like alcohol and drugs to raise your blood sugar level to feel "good".

In the short term, until you decide to test yourself, start eating tuna/salmon about 2-5 portions a week, fresh fruits and vegetables, bowl of oatmeal (the 5 minute kind you cook) about 2-5 times a week, nuts (almonds/peanuts are real good). Don't forget in-between meal snacks of the fruits and veges and nuts. These eating habits will help stabilize your blood sugar, which will help control the scared feelings.

Been there with the scare.



You should see a Doctor..



Definitely go to rehab sweetie - you don't deserve to be feeling like this.
Get yourself sorted out and off all these negative substances which are giving you so many problems. Most people have problems with their nerves, anxiety or OCD and depression.. you just have to figure out a way to deal with these things without the alcohol and drugs etc.
You're obviously a strong woman so you can do it ! You just need a little help, and there's no shame in asking for it.
I spend my life in anxiety and depression but most of the time I try and go without taking anything - and on the bad nights i take maybe 2mg of valium or 5. But I'm not dependant on it and i'm proud of that!
One day you will be too - good luck and please take care. Never underestimate what an important beautiful person you are and you deserve to be happy and clean !



1st of all, maybe you think people/parents can talk anyway they see fit each day. Turns out many parents are abusers. Actually they are not trying to be tough to make you better or help- they are tricking you. This goes for people at school as well. Words are abuse also.

There are 3 types of abusive people/parents. Some hit the bottle. Some hit you. And some run their mouths and put you down. THEY are sick and feel great on being mean, and thats the only reason they do it. They are wrong about everything. The typical abuser is close-minded, self-righteous and was also abused themself. Use defense and read many sites on verbal abuse etc. People tear you down to build themselves up. Youre being abused - Its their problem. Knowledge is power.

Abuse causes pain mistaken as Mental Problems. BP OCD etc. Psychiatrists commit fraud and all disorders are a hoax. For chemical imbalances NO test exists. You dont have what shrinks say you have. Dont tell anyone about your so called disorder. They will only drug you.

Jesus name and forgiving others who are wrong is important along with avoiding them.

Call or I can- Child Protective Services- Transitional help to age 21- tell your teacher. Dont tell your parents they wont listen.

Learn the truth, forgive, and Get Away from them. Read many many sites under "emotional abuse" and "dealing with bullies".

I have some questions for you.
