I have been an off-and-on binge drinker for about six months. Probably twice or three times per month I'll overdo it, usually to the point where I just vaguely remember getting home and falling into bed.
Now I'm experiencing what I think might be alcohol withdrawal -- I'm highly anxious, having to take deep breaths; having a hard time concentrating; and very, very tired. It's a little better today than yesterday, but I'm still feeling fatigued and, frankly, gross.
I'm worrying about the long-term effect of this withdrawal (if that's what it is). Is this causing real-time, permanent damage to organs? Should I go to the hospital?
Is this going to pass?
Is it really possible this pattern of drinking -- during which I've never felt such a severe withdrawal -- could have led to the current state of affairs?
I mean, I drank, but I didn't black out. Just hazy memory from the end of the night. (And, I hope, my alcohol level didn't crawl too much higher once I'd collapsed into bed.)
I'm freaking out! =(
