I use medication for anxiety to help me get through it. I had the same problem this morning. But once I took my med, I felt calmer and better. Maybe look into that? Idk. I’m not a doctor.
There is medication that helps but they want you to be under treatment before they precribe
Sounds like you’re describing alcohol withdrawal symptoms rather than just your typical hangover. Stopping alcohol cold turkey and experiencing withdrawals can be dangerous. I suggest you seek medical help if you are trying to stop altogether. Depending on your levels of withdrawals you might or might not need medication. Taking hot showers will calm your nervous system enough to give you some temporary relief though. Just went through it not long ago.

Hangxiety was one or the reasons I stopped drinking completely. I can’t stand it, felt like I was crawling out of my skin the next morning. The only way I could relieve it was to start drinking again.
The first month being alcohol free was rough but it gets better.

Your dopamine levels are below baseline after drinking. This causes depression, anxiety, etc. if you already diagnosed with anxiety then this could potentially exacerbate your anxiety. I’m not a doc though you should talk to a doc about it.

If you feel like you relationship with alcohol is not healthy it could be you are
It could be that your body is going through withdrawals? Shakes,DT' s, anxiety. You haveto manage your habits before they take over. Try to stop drinking for a little bit and go to a meeting? Maybe you can seek advice from other women who've been through this?
Yup. It’s why I quit.
