I am suffering terrible anxiety n* (I think). To cut a long story short, as some of you know last week my violent ex got not guilty in court, I've one through hell and back. Since the verdict I have barely slept. Last night I got drunk (stupidly) and very very distressed about what has happened. I didn't feel particularly hungover today, just tired, and I've eaten normally. However I have felt on edge all day. Tonight I feel very very very anxious. I am exhausted, the alcohol hasn't helped (plus I always panic about v* from a hangover not that I ever have and I would have thought I would have done by now today given it's been 24 hours), and I just feel so so so scared. I am having flashbacks of my ex. Just can't deal with the knots in my stomach and the need to clear my throat. I know I need to sleep but I can't wind down and I worry about waking up in a panicked state of n* again. Please help, I can't stop shaking. Thank you very much in advance.

P.S. Hoping Syrup is online if you are? You get it perfectly x
