Anxious

Yeah I get like that to...think it happens more if I'm planning on doing other things than just drinking:? So yes, I'm a wee bit like that just now
 
Listen to your body

After many nights out over many years and having spoken to many people about this, I'm afraid that this is your body telling you that it doesn't want those chemicals in there any more. Anxious, apprehension, sick feeling in your stomach??? You may be at the stage where the bad times relating to clubbing outweigh the good. It's not a bad thing though as if you carry on you are risking your sanity in the long run. To get over this, many people go out with the notion of sticking to alcohol and pacing themselves and just enjoying the music, this can calm you down a great deal, then when your out you have a choice and more often than not you have a good time with just alco.
Well that's my opinion, your welcome to a second one.
If anyone wants to add their own comments then keep this thread going as lot's of people go through this.

That's exactly what happened to us, probably 3/4 years ago.

The wrongness your body felt after a heavy night made it just not worthwhile, especially when you have a demanding job.

I used to get the anxious thing before a night, simply because i knew i shouldn't be doing it and would regret it, which is exactly what happened once i'd done it.

I would advise anyone who enjoy clubbing to do it and enjoy it cos one day it WILL end, or at least slow right down. My g/f reached this stage before me as she's older, which caused a few problems when i was intent on going out. Then all of a sudden, i just wasn't bothered anymore either.

I started to realise i much preferred spending evenings in with friends, especially people you can enjoy a conversation with. Sure, we still go out occasionally but would probably involve a restaurant and a bar or two. Sounds dull but isn't dull when it happens to you.

This one of the reasons we gave Ibiza a miss this year (sorry last year LOL). We will always love Ibiza, but felt a duty while there to go clubbing but each time we did it just seemed to get more boring. Sure, the clubs are still great but why were we there, what were we looking for? It was just an excuse to get trashed, then feel like death and not be able to enjoy the daytime. Next time we go, we'll try and stay away from the clubs.

Sorry, i'm rambling.

I think it's more just when you're excited about something you get those butterflies. I get it sometimes before a gig or when I go on holiday so nothing to do with 'poisoning' your body.

ive been like that all year before i go out.

lord knows why.
 
I think it is just nervousness, most people get it before they go out, but it could be due to several things.
Some people get it because they are so excited about going out, they're looking forward to something so much that they get butterflies in their tummy and feel anxious before the night.
Other people might feel apprehensive about going out and battering their bodies, if you have had bad experiences as a result of your indulgence then you probably are nervous before you go out incase it happens again.

I recommend a good few weeks rest, recharge your batteries and get your body/mind back to tip top shape again :p
 
It will happen to you at some point. if someone had siad that to me at the height of my clubbing days I wouldnt have listened though. All i'm saying is listen to your body, it is telling you something, you can only ignore it for so long, it doesn't mean you have to give up going out just that you need to do it in a different way.
See you all for the first two weeks of July, I will be giving out my latest mix CD to whoever wants a copy.
Peace
 
I get like this before I go ANYWHERE... holidays.. always have..

Everytime I get on a plane or go away on a holiday, I'll say, "should I be doing this?... should I?" I analyse everything to bits and get anxious...
i'd just say you're normal! :)
 
i get it but its cos i hardly ever go out so i'm just excited/nervous, etc and hopeful for a good time. always got it all thru my life as well before big football games that i've played/watched/
 
Yes I get anxious all the time :evil: It could be through my body being apprehensive about the abuse it is about to get, because the first time was a pretty bad experience. But I have always just put it down to sheer excitement, so much so I can't contain myself :lol:

I just take a few deep breaths, 20 fags and a few JD's & coke. The calm before the storm :evil:

That is all so very true for me too. Sure, I love to go out for the vibe and the music, but I would not have more than 2-3 drinks in a 4-5 hour span. I hate to lose 12-14 hours for 1-2 hours. However, all this happened to me about 5 years ago when I was 25.

I also fully understand the demands of a demanding job, especially when it is your own business. There is absolutely no comparison between getting a paycheck every two weeks and making your own paycheck every two weeks. I realized that when I moved into a rep position 1-1/2 years ago and I went from 100% salary to 25% salary and 75% commissions. In your case you have to consider managing employees, health insurances, etc. That is no walk in the park.

Actually, restaurant and a bar or two for a few drinks over a variety of conversational topics is a quite fun. Depending on the venue there is always bound to be some good eye-candy to spice things up.

I do not know if y’all have this thing happen but I have a circle of friends for clubbing and a circle of friends that are fall in the restaurant/bar/with good convo category.

The restaurant/bar/with good convo are not into clubbing but they have done their fair share of parties (I know a partier might not be a clubber). With these folks I can talk about a myriad of topics and experiences. They tend to be generally very reliable when it comes to showing up on time and sticking to plans.

The clubbing folks on the other hand generally tend to be flaky and have very limited conversational capabilities. Most tend to live in LaLa land. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the company of both groups and I accept them exactly as they are. It’s just interesting to observe the two groups.
 
This is exactly why I've cut down on nights out

(plus a one year old who like 6am wake ups and jumping on my chest!!)


The plus side though is that it makes impromptu 'sessions' all the more rewarding ;) :D

Life after E

never thought it would happen, neither did my friends. 2 weeks on the island and didnt go clubbing ! Had something to prove not just to myself but to anyone else thinking of going to Ibz and doing something different.
had a car for both weeks so adventured all over, Atlantis/Cala D'Hort/Aguas Blancas/San Carlos/S'illot Des Rencli/Formentera/Es Cav and Salinas to name but a few. Night times were spent at cafe Del Mar ( after the crowds had gone and the music gets a little jazzy ) Coastline or bambuddha. With so much to see, so many nice people, great music and late opening hours, how could you not enjoy it ? Also got to DJ at Coastline this year !!
Not slagging the clubs as I have enjoyed them in the past and may well go again, just making the point that there is so much more that many people miss out on. When the time comes to chill, embrace it and you will find that many people have been there before you and have provided something for you to enjoy. Peace to everyone on the island
