[QUOTE="Enmeshedmom, post: 726694, member: 22547"] Emotional intoxication occurs when personal conflicts and emotions directly affect our physical and psychological well being. Emotional intoxication manifests in symptoms like [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irritability']irritability[/URL], [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depression_(mood)']depression[/URL], emotional instability, and fatigue. Anyone ever hear this term? I heard it yesterday on a recovery podcast and googled it and it describes me to a T. When I allow myself to go there (it happens a lot) it is like I am drunk on negative emotions. I pass out by 8pm and wake up feeling like I have a hangover complete with feelings of guilt, anger and nausea. I think growing up with alcoholics has made me addicted to feeling bad. I have started attending al Anon and co-dependents anonymous and hope this is path to healing my heart. My son starts a new job today and he also started playing bass guitar for a local singer so things seem to be going good for him righ now. I am keeping my fingers crossed that things will just keep getting better for him but I’m trying not to have expectations. [/QUOTE]
