Question

When im under the infleuance of alcohol, i tend to cry about my mums death last year.
what do i do do resolve this ?

I dont drink occasionally, but when i do, i get upset.

Answer 1

I'm 26 My mother died when I was 7
I would do the same thing around the ages 15-19 the drink ages. I got depressed & cried & thought I was dying also.
Eventually it stopped- thank God! I don't drink that often now may 1-4 times a year.

Answer 2

You need to cut down the drinking or stop all together. My mother does the same thing when she has a drink, she gets to the point where she sobs uncontrollably. When you drink, you lose your inhibitions. Drinking also makes everything seem very real or on the other hand can make you think you can do anything. It is something to do with the alcohol getting into your blood stream and doing something to one side of your brain (I read it somewhere on the net). It does something to you and makes all your feelings come out. I have bottled things up in the past and after a drink it all seems to come out. Have a search on the net as I know there is alot about it out there.

Answer 3

I know how you feel , all the stuff bottled up inside, whether u realize or not its still there, and alcohol a depressant ,"opens this door "so to speak and your emotions are let out. Sometimes it's best not to drink, but it's hard not to i know.
You may need to talk to a counsellor like not a psychiatrist, just someone to help you deal with the grief. Even the family doctor can prescribe you something like xanax or valium these drugs are prescribed for trauma anxiety and insomnia they cause a relaxed feeling and u can chill for a little while. Avoid alcohol i find it depresses me , i used to over indulge but if i drink now i just get depressed or agressive so i've decided to go tea total and just have a chill pill now and then. don't drink for a while and i hope u feel better.

Answer 4

Alcohol is a depressant. That's why some people get emotional. I would recommend some grief counseling about your mother's death. Try to limit your alcohol intake.

Answer 5

you want a cure to your effect with alcohol....so does millions of alcoholics! lol nothing can be done to stop your side effects with alcohol. however if you are still upset over your mother's death outside of drinking perhaps going to a support group with those who've lost a parent. good luck and perhaps ordering virgin drinks is best.

Answer 6

you may still need to grieve for your mother, there is nothing wrong with that. It doesnt matter how long ago it happened, when you feel emotional about it whether sober or when drinking, just let your emotions out and you will feel better, just make sure that you dont feel like you are going to hurt yourself. Everytime you grieve openly for your mother it will happen less and less. Good luck and Bless you and your mother.

Answer 7

You stop drinking and see a therapist.
Drinking is your escape from the real world, YOUR treatment to the emotions you're having about your mother's death, whether you want to admit it or not.
You need professional help to find a better outlet.

I'm terribly sorry about your mom and I pray you find comfort in ways that work. :)

Answer 8

See a counselor. Deal with the loss sober. Drinking won't resolved the grief it will only mask it.

Answer 9

drinking isnt healthy, except for maybe ocassionally a glass of red wine at dinner. And seeing a counselor will help you heal.

Answer 10
