I am 25 years old and I am getting the same exact things!!! I used to drink all summer long when I was 21 and up until last year even and just sleep it off and say oh well another hangover this is nothing and so on, until about 2 months ago when I woke up at 7 on Saturday wide awake with horrible anxiety and panic, I couldn't breathe and my heart would play with me, it really sucked. I started drinking wine or a beer in the morning and tried to go back to sleep but it's so hard. It started right before a wedding my friend had, I figured this will go away I can drink on weekends and it will be cool. Come to now I would drink on Sundays now and just count the hour till 1 or 2 so I could kill that hangover and panic, but it was so haaaard to get rid of that hangover of 10 beers plus by the end of the day I was so depressed and felt like going to the hospital because I was dying, it hit it's wits end the last few weeks and literally ruined 4 mondays in a row! My Mom saw me and was like not again with this, and yep I had it again and once again suffered through a horribly long day of anxiety and depression, one day it was just horrible and felt really dark and gloomy, real depressing. I am thinking about cutting down alot too and avoiding these hangovers, whether it is blood sugar or not that goes down it is flat out frustrating and scary, I used to handle this so well and say f it and laugh hangovers off, if it didn't go away I got a 40 on Sunday at 8 or so and watched football and it went away quick, not it seems hangovers can't even be drunk away! I feel everything you do and am pissed off because this is our life on weekends and I used to enjoy it so much, my friends still do (Not one he drinks all day when he has it to cope, he is an alcoholic to the fullest, I can see it when I look at him). This is a vicious cylce and no it won't go away and just dissapear into the dark. I used to sleep late like I said now it's 7 or 8 or earlier and then up until I get my butt outta bed, it is horrible to say the least. I feel you, but think you and me have to do something, glad others out there experienced this and can help (I am not alone!).
