Hi,
I seem to have serious case of anxiety when around people, esp when I am alone in public. I will develop some sort of severe self-conscieness. After which I will start to sweat alot! And I really mean alot, esp on my face.
I am so sick and tired of this. I feel so depressed. Today finally I tried drinking some vodka before going to attend a talk to counter the problem. I was a little drunk before I left the house. My mind felt very light but I could still find my way to the destination that I have never been before.
It felt so good! I didnt care about the people around me, I felt so free and I didnt really sweat! But at the talk, I could barely focus on what the speaker was saying.
After the talk there was a Q & A session, my light headedness made me felt so bold. I ask so many questions that I wouldnt have if I were sober. One of the staff even got intimidated by the way I was asking questions! I was surprised that I even remember and know what questions to ask. But the thing is I could barely remember the answers!
I have read some posts that people used alcohol to counter their anxiety. But I dont think this is a good long term solution. To anyone that has used alcohol to counter anxiety, have you found a better solution/medication that has helped you? Please, I ought to seek some advise here before deciding on whether to visit a doctor.
Thank you.
