hey uhh, i never use this site and tried to a while ago but i forgot about it so here i am, having drank a bunch for the past 5 hours and trying to sober up at 3 in the morning lol. this is just a nothing post, essentially. i just cant stop the fast heartrate im having right now, i took my seroquel like 10 mins ago so im hoping itll be enough to knock me out despite my heartbeat but so far no dice. its so uncomfortable and no matter what position im in i feel it, pounding away throughout every area of my body. my head, my back, my chest, even my arms and legs. thats not normal, i know, but ive had heart problems for a qhile now and no real way to get it checked atm so the best i can do is just live with it.

im trying to cancel my mind out right now of any spiralling thoughts bc i had those just a while ago and it made me feel shitty. any tips to not do that??? i cant even meditate bc like i said, my heartbeat is too loud to cancel out, ugh

Hi blue im so sorry to hear you are having issues with settling your mind/heart down, i want you to know that our addiction community is a big support, if there is anyway we can help within reasonable limits please let us know. As far as the heart problems and stuff, alcohol is known to create heart problems, I an unsure of your situation and am not a doctor so i cannot say if the drinking is directly related to it, but i am here for you, some things that helped me to calm my heartbeat down in the past, was a nice cold shower, listening to some calm music with ear buds in ears, and distracting myself, watching a non action movie. I hope you feel better! <3

please don’t hesitate to reach out to someone one on one, or through our addiction subcommunties sometimes member may have relatable expierences<3
