Oh alcohol
My tolerance has lowered from my lack of going out lately. This does wonders for the wallet since if I feel like drinking to get intoxicated it takes far less to do so, but what is not great is the fact that my body metabolizes it differently now. The last few times I've gone out I've awakened in the middle of the night in a sweat. Last night was pretty awful. At almost exactly 3am this happened to me, combined with a mild anxiety attack, and I couldn't get back to sleep for almost 2 hours. I just lay there stressing about everything in my life and trying to fall asleep and being anxious about not being able to fall asleep. I have some daunting tasks ahead of me, and everything that seemed simple is suddenly complicated. I think I'm just one of those people that is unable to relax and let life happen because I worry too much about the failure that could occur instead of the amazing rewards it could bring.
Blah.
