As the title says. I used to be an alcoholic (had 6+ months of drinking at least one beer/glass of wine every single day) but am now getting my life back together. Didn't get to the point where I would need medical help to quit- as in, I wouldn't start having seizures or any horrible withdrawal effects. That being said, after not drinking for two weeks, I am exhausted. I feel anxious and depressed and like I'm experiencing impending doom every day, and it makes me remember why I started drinking (not socially) in the first place.                                                               I should mention that I have been diagnosed with general anxiety disorder and clinical depression, on top of being a hypochondriac for basically as long as I can remember. Every day I get 1000+ horrible scenarios that could happen to me, making me feel like it's not even worth to try since I'll probably get a horrible disease anytime now and die anyway. This can stem from minor cuts that are obviously going to get infected and I'll get necrotizing fasciitis and have my body break down in the matter of days, or that one time I got a droplet of water up my nose which will totally result in getting my brain turned to mush by that one amoeba that has killed 150 ish people since 1950. The list goes on. I have do disinfect every minor injury at least 3  times or it will result in me getting sepsis and dying. Drinking makes me give less of a shit about that- it's not even about feeling good, it's about feeling relieved for a few hours before I inevitably fall asleep drunkenly, not even caring if I choke on my vomit.  This has been interfering with my everyday life, and not even university courses and a part time job can keep me occupied enough so I don't spiral into a panic attack.        I'm sorry, this is my first post. Hopefully I can at least find someone who relates, even if a little.
