Alcohol abuse due to social anxiety
Anxiety Support / by determinedDrum5773

...See more I have social anxiety. When I’m out or around ppl in a social outing, I over drink bc I’m so uncomfortable. I don’t like talking to people. I hardly ever even know what to say. Awkward Moments of silent make me want to cringe. I’m always thinking of things that I can say or how I come off to others. To ease this, I drink. It definitely takes the anxiety away. I become this confident fun person instead of this tense anxiety brain filled stuck up weirdo. When I drink I embarrass myself so much so that I cringe when I think about me dancing at a party the next day or falling down and being sloppy drunk, etc. I’m tired of being the drunkest person at parties. It’s embarrassing. I want to forgive myself and move on, but intrusive thoughts are real. I feel like a loser. I feel disappointed in myself and embarrassed. I hate myself. Can anyone help me to get over this feeling? I can and will stop drinking. I would like to get over the feeling of embarrassment and move on.
