    When you get home after work man up and do a bunch of chores. Clean that bathroom, mop that kitchen floor, get your washing up to date. I guarantee you'll feel a million times better after doing so.

    But if you can handle your drink you dont need to worry about the stupid things you did at the weekend therefore no fear.

    Aka the horrors.

    The older I get the worse it gets. Feeling like the worst thing in the world is about to happen. Plenty of food and don't dwell on negative thoughts. To prevent it, don't drink/drug so much.

    Yes, exactly. I can go out and drink to oblivion tonight, and I will have a good hangover tomorrow. No fear though.

    Do it 3 or 4 nights in a row, and along comes the fear then. Although i never call it that myself.

    Ah my fear isn't really so specific........I drink heavy and make an eejit of myself from time to time but in this case it's more a general fear....like why am I so broke, why am I so single? blah blah blah

    Yea but the reality is, its actually depression caused by the drink. Not a hangover. And the depression is the thing that makes people feel everything little thing is bothering them.

    Nothing to do with handling your drink, or hangovers either. The hangover just adds to the depressed feeling.

    Been there all right, why am I so broke and why did I waste all my money on stupid alcohol, hate the cold panic for no reason you get after a heavy one. Will feel it again soon enough I am sure especially with the Euro's coming up and the first match being on Sunday at 19.45 not gonna be a good monday

    What's big spoon/little spoon? The whole image only works if the spoons are roughly the same size and shape.

    Besides, a Newton's cradle is so much more romantic.

    Yea and the less drink it takes to cause it as well.

    The person in front is the littlespoon. The big spoon person is behind them. Usually it's the bigger person who's the big spoon, it's a huggy mindy thing :)

    Edit: often leads to fantastic fear-banishing sex.

    3 in a row

    Not one for the drama and crying etc when I'm out so it's just more a 'questioning the direction of my life' fear induced by too much alcohol consumption

    If you're not running around screaming and crying on the actual night out itself then your fear is bollocks. Get involved in a serious night out, commit crimes, break relationships, cause damage and then sit back the next day in a beautifully fuzzy blanket of insidious terror.

    To be honest, that's a load of boll*cks and it has nothing to do with "D4"?

    It's a feeling of dread, your mental state that can sometimes accompany the physical symptoms of a hangover, irrational anxiety for no real reason - And often carries on well after the physical symptoms subside.

    Not everyone suffers from it.

    It's like a mild DTs

    Now c*ck off with "I'm a bleedin real dub with me hangovers" ....c*ck

    Oh and my fear lasted from Saturday to yesterday.

    Work nights are a f*cking nightmare - Unless you have phone numbers of all the people you were out with.

    I also got the dreaded "Saw you at "x" friday ...bananas you were" text on sunday so that didn't help.

    I scored someone I've fancied for ages one of the nights and it seems like it's a no go so that PLUS the fact that I am going out far too much and regressing maturity wise is what is fuelling my depression!!

    It doesn't always have to be a 'crap why did I bawl my eyes out to a work colleague' or 'why was I pole dancing in front of everyone in coppers' sort of fear!

    Lying in bed with your right leg on fire and your left leg freezing.
    Sweat on your brow and housemate in the room next to yours is screaming in his sleep. The child of prague wont stop asking you to reconsider your career choices from the bedside table. And the pope in the bathroom making loads of noise.
    Thats "the fear"

    Perfect description.

    The worst I ever had it was after going out wednesday with work, then thursday with work, then Friday pints with work and all night Friday with the lads... I got home on sunday night, slept for two hours on someone's floor on sunday morning. Back to the pub when i woke up.

    I didn't sleep for three nights after out of sheer panic. I passed out in the mornings around 6 and would have to get up at 7 to go to work. It was a living nightmare. cold sweats for a few days, not able to eat, utterly unable to communicate with the world, but afraid to be alone or to not have a tv or radio on.

    My fear days are never as bad now as my drinking doesn't go on like that. The worst these days is the airport home after a lads holiday. Prozac or valium is genuinely needed then.

    I'm having it today too, but I usually do every Monday and Tuesday these days. I'm going on holidays tomorrow somewhere quiet and sunny where I wont be binge drinking so that'll keep me on the straight and narrow for a week and give me time to reflect on all this pointless partying...
    OP just wait till tomorrow or thursday and you'll be happier and less anxious, when it gets to this stage though I think we need to question what we're doing.

    Anyone else still have the fear from the weekend?

    Is there any cure? Would love a hug but I'm at work so realistically that's not going to happen

    Any suggestions to kill it?

    I tell you what... the fear from the weekend here is absolutely terrible... much worst than usual. my usual fix of high sugar foods isn't shifting it. I'm trying to pin down the source in my head... the pints I had in the Aviva, maybe, or just too much sun, perhaps :(

    Hangover is one thing, the fear is quite another. What age are you? I didn't start getting the fear until I was in my 30's.

    lol, brilliant. I remember flying home from visiting a mate in Munich on the tail end of an 18hr drinking binge with my heart racing, cotton mouth, no money for a drink, unable to breath, thinking I'm going to puke, terrible vertigo from flying. I was never so anxious in my life and it was the longest 2 hours of my life. I've stayed extra nights in places to avoid having to get on planes in that state since, not worth it.
