4/3/22

Been a little busy, but here's my February Immersion Overview!

You'd think I'd immerse less this month given that there was only 28 days, but this is probably the best I've done especially in terms of reading, and I'm still giving myself a bit of a pat on the back for it.

Let's get into the details, shall we?

ANIME

Me? Watch anime? Never!

Oh, wait. I watched Angel Beats! this month. I had always planned to watch it after I finished the VN (the same goes for every anime or drama that originated from some form of reading content really), and I'm glad that I finally did because the pacing felt way better. Shows like this shines in its comedic timing, and while I am getting a bit faster at reading, the pacing still felt really slow compared to just watching the anime. It also concludes the show properly; we get to see the true end pan out, something the VN didn't cover because it delves into each character's backstory more. Glad I finally get to graduate from this story as well. For now. Angel Beats! Next, Next Beat when?

DRAMA

I watched one drama again this month. An anime and only one drama? Seriously, what is going on?

やめるときも、すこやかなるときも was pretty short, and semi melodramatic, but it wasn't as bad as how its currently rated in MDL. It tried its best to showcase how two individuals dealt with their trauma and how they ended up facing it together in the end. It was sweet actually.

GAMING

To add more to my weird immersion choices, I decided to delve into and start playing the Japanese localized version of Stardew Valley after watching hundreds of Youtube videos on it. I can't say that its the best way to spend reading time, but it is a good way to relax without thinking that I'm wasting my time gaming. It's pretty comfortable to read now (although sometimes the font throws me off lol), and knowing where everything is, just in case I'm too lazy to look up words, is comforting.

GRAMMAR

Remember when I said last month that I wanted to concentrate and study grammar more? Yeah.....no. At the beginning of the month, I spent a lot of time dawdling, thinking about how to go about it. I figured I could just continue making Anki cards for them, but realized that I keep quitting my reps for them midway anyway. So, I started reading them instead, even computing how many days it would take to read all of them without feeling like death. Then I stopped....oops. I swear I'm trying really hard, but forcing study time makes me not want to immerse too which is very counterproductive. It's not as if I hadn't read up on all of this before anyway. This is literally a refresher course to nail everything down...if I can just stay motivated enough for it.

LIGHT NOVEL

So while I was having a pretty shallow dilemma, I started reading a bit of 無職転生 again. I figured I don't like 異世界 plotlines that much, but I'm curious why people praise this as the one 異世界 you can't skip out on.

PODCASTS

Still very much into podcasts, since I can actually follow them now. Read to listen, fellas.

I need to find more podcasts to mix it up, so if you have any suggestions, please feel free to leave a comment.

YOUTUBE

I rarely talk about my quest for good Youtube 実況s, and キヨ。is definitely someone I can recommend. This is probably the most chaotic let's play of Undertale I've ever seen, definitely a must watch. Again, if you have Youtube channels you use for immersion, especially female gamers, do drop a comment.

VISUAL NOVELS

Excerpt from my post on The Moe Way Discord server: "Roughly 380 days later and after 760 hours of reading everyday, I managed to hit 10 million characters read from visual novels...I saw a significant comprehension increase in both my reading and listening skills, and overall less time spent doing anki reps due to seeing them often when I read."

So yes, the visual novels are truly the backbone of my immersion these days. Who knew that it would mean so much to me now, even though I've never read one before I used them for language learning. Don't shun it til you try it, I guess.

I also did a personal reading challenge with them early this month: read 100k characters everyday for 10 days. Took that goal, smashed it, and read 1,411,512 in 11 days and finished both White Album 2 and 君と彼女と彼女の恋。in the process. As a length comparison, that's like reading around 13 or 14 short light novels. In total, I read 1.75 million characters this month, a new personal best. ʕ•̀ω•́ʔ✧

I have to say that it required me to read something I really enjoyed (White Album 2, easiest 10/10 I'll ever give), and something really easy (Totono) for me to complete the challenge, which just proves that a combination of comprehensible input and genuine interest in the media is the way to huge language gains in a short period of time.

Might have given myself major White Album 2 withdrawals though, because oh boy, everything feels inferior to it now, and I kept switching VNs just to rid myself of the feeling.

That said, I think the rest of my picks have all been interesting: finally feel comfortable enough with my level to start Fate/Stay night although I will be continuing it in April instead for The Moe Way's quarterly reading challenge. Also, picked up and shuffle reading literally every monthly VN challenge in the club namely サマーポケッツ, サクラノ詩－櫻の森の上を舞う－, シュタインズ・ゲート, because they are all interesting in different ways and are quite big VN fan favorites.

The one I dropped almost immediately though was something I thought I'd like because it was the same developer as 剣が君, ブラックウルヴスサーガ -ブラッディーナイトメア- because it freaked me out somehow faster than オメガヴァンパイア (although I did give OV more of a fighting chance at redemption before giving up and dropping the last two routes.)

I once thought that I'd be a bigger, general fan of joseimuke content, but it seems that I only like romantic and fluffy 乙女ゲーム or 女性漫画, because they likely won't include really disturbing and triggering content (...I say as I read Taishou Alice), and I read to de-stress and not to get stressed. My comfort levels are being tested and I don't like it.ヾ(｡>﹏<｡)ﾉﾞ

I guess nothing still beats the impact 剣が君 had on me, the way White Album 2 does for me now in なきげ.

-☆-

That's it for this month! I'm nearing two years of immersion so stick around for my post for that. I'll probably also drop my review for White Album 2, because I already wrote and posted a good part of it in the club. Although I enjoyed a lot of what I've read the past couple of months, nothing has hit me like White Album 2 has, that it actually inspired me to write about it in the club as soon as I finished it.

Truthfully, writing in depth reviews all the time when I finish so many very quickly is quite difficult for me, and I've managed to hit quite the writers block, but I'll still try my best to get them out as soon as I can.

Thanks for reading, and I'll catch up with you all again soon! ʕ•̀ω•́ʔ

The Blurred Lines Between Alcohol Use and Alcohol Addiction

Originally posted on Caron

If you or someone you know is suffering from or at risk of an alcohol addiction, take the next step and reach out to a Caron specialist at 877-920-4849 or contact us online.

About 15 million American adults struggle with an alcohol use disorder. And thanks to COVID-19, most of them are struggling with how to cope with the stress of staying safe in the current state of quarantining and social distancing, but not isolating themselves. Isolation puts those who struggle with alcohol use at a greater risk fueling the flames of addiction.

It’s overwhelming – and many people are turning to alcohol as a coping mechanism. But how can you tell when alcohol use becomes an addiction?

Recognizing the Signs and Symptoms of Alcoholism Alcoholism is a chronic, progressive disease which is characterized by compulsive alcohol use, the inability to control the amount of alcohol consumed, and a negative emotional state that occurs when not using/consuming alcohol.

Most people who drink don’t start off at this stage. Alcoholism is more of a gradual progression that coincides with various factors that can increase your risk of developing an alcohol use disorder, such as a genetic predisposition, gender, and the way your body physically processes alcohol. Alcoholism often coincides with some other mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, putting you at greater risk for addiction. Other risk factors include early onset of drinking at a young age, steady drinking over time, and spending time around people who drink.

It’s important to know what to look for if you suspect you or someone you love has a problem with alcohol. Since drinking is so common, it can be easy to overlook a problem when you “need a drink” to destress, relax, cope or to have a good time, particularly amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Here’s some signs to watch for:

Knowing when – or how – to stop. Have you ever had a hard time knowing when it’s time to stop? Does one drink turn into three? Does three turn into eight?

Spending more money than you should on alcohol.

Trading in enjoyment for drinking. Are you giving up social activities and/or isolating from the personal relationships that normally bring you joy because you’re putting drinking first?

Having strained relationships with loved ones. Are tensions running high? Have you said and done things that have upset friends and family – even when you don’t remember?

Not meeting obligations. Have you had trouble meeting your obligations because of drinking? Have you been late to work because you had a hangover? Have you missed work or assignments?

Feeling physical repercussions when you don’t drink. Have you ever experienced signs of withdrawal when you don’t drink, such as sweating, shaking, or feeling nauseous?

If you’ve answered yes to one or more of these questions, it may be time to talk to a professional.

Trying to manage alcohol use on your own only strengthens the addiction’s grip and prolongs the collateral damage. Regardless if you are the person drinking too much or suspect a family member is, drinking affects the entire family – not just the person drinking it.

Since we are spending more time at home as we observe COVID-19 safety measures, such as #StayAtHome orders in many states, alcohol-related problems may be more pronounced. Living in closer quarters can make it possible to pay closer attention to evaluate your loved one’s behaviors. Or you can use the time to evaluate your own relationship with alcohol.

Dangers of Detoxing Alone The physical withdrawal symptoms from alcohol dependency are painful and can be dangerous. Delirium Tremens (DTs,) seizures, and extreme nausea and diarrhea can be fatal, which require medical supervision and possibly medically assisted treatment. Your doctors will evaluate the progression of your disease, its effect on your body, and your medical history to create an individualized plan. Through psychological therapy you’ll begin to understand the issues that have caused you to get to this point. You’ll learn life-long strategies to help you prevent relapse and achieve long-term recovery.

Now is the Time There’s no better time than now. Our everyday pace has slowed as global leaders make big changes to stop the spread of COVID-19 and to improve world health. Use the time to invest in your health and get professional help to get sober safely – without the fear of missing out.

If you or a loved one are battling an alcohol use disorder, or you want a “sounding board” and more information, reach out to us at Caron. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to keep our doors open to help you and your loved one’s access high quality care and exercise an abundance of cautionary measures to keep patients and staff healthy.

Chicago’s New Restaurant Openings added to Google Docs

Chicago’s New Restaurant Openings

If you tried to keep track of every brand new restaurant in Chicago, you might go a little bit crazy. So just read this list instead. These are the new restaurant openings that seem like they have the most potential - although keep in mind, for the ones we haven’t tried, we make no promises. Go forth and be a pioneer.

Editor’s Note 6/15: All restaurants listed below are currently open for carryout, delivery, or outdoor dining.

July 2020 Taste Of The Philippines $$$$ 131 N Clinton St

Taste Of The Philippines is a brand new Filipino restaurant in the French Market, serving things like pancit, lumpia, and ube donuts.

Buzzed Bull Creamery $$$$ 1948 W North Ave

You (probably) don’t have enough ice cream and/or booze in your life. Luckily, Buzzed Bull Creamery just opened in Wicker Park. This spot has made-to-order ice cream (they use liquid nitrogen), and specializes in customizable, alcohol-infused flavors.

Crushed By Giants $$$$ 600 N Michigan Ave

This is a new brewery that just opened in Streeterville. Along with beer, Crushed By Giants also has tacos and burgers.

Krispy Rice $$$$ 945 W. Randolph St.

A new delivery-only sushi spot just opened in the West Loop. Krispy rice comes from LA and serves cutely-packaged combination boxes filled with things like hand rolls, spicy tuna on crispy rice, and maki.

Tavern On The Point $$$$ 6724 N Northwest Hwy,

Tavern On The Point is a new restaurant in Edison Park with food like burgers and nachos, plus a rooftop available for outdoor dining.

TenGoku Aburiya $$$$ 651 W. Washington Boulevard

The team behind Omakase Yume has opened an izakaya right next door. TenGoku Aburiya’s menu has noodles, donburi, and skewers.

uncooked $ $ $ $ Vegan $$$$ 210 N Carpenter St Ste 140

Uncooked is a new grab-and-go vegan spot in the West Loop. As the name would suggest, it specializes in raw food with plant-based dishes like matcha chia pudding, kelp noodle cacio e pepe, and radish ravioli with kale pesto.

PB & J $$$$ 205 N Peoria Street

This is a large, full-blown restaurant that just opened the West Loop. PB & J stands for pizza, beer, and jukebox - and you’ll find all three here. There’s also a menu section filled with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, including one that costs $350 (yes, really) made with a whole loaf of bread and luxury ingredients like rare honey and gold leaf.

FIYA $$$$ 5419 North Clark Street

Fiya is a Middle Eastern restaurant with a large outdoor patio, and a menu full of hummus and wood-fired dishes like chicken or roasted sweet potato with creme fraiche.

Ever $$$$ 1340 W Fulton St

Full disclosure: Ever isn’t open until August. But this 10-course tasting menu spot from the former chef of Grace is taking reservations. Dinner is $285 per person, and only available for indoor dining.

June 2020 Bob's Pizza $$$$ 1510 N LaSalle Dr

We’re big fans of the original Bob’s in Pilsen. So, we couldn’t be happier that this pizza spot has opened a new location in Old Town, and can share their delicious Pilsen-style pies (not a real pizza-style, but we don’t care) with a new neighborhood.

The Rooftop At Nobu Hotel $$$$ 155 N. Peoria Street

After a lot of delays (seven years worth), Nobu’s rooftop is open. This bar is 11 stories up, and along with a long list of sake and cocktails, is also serving Japanese-inspired small plates and sushi.

Mama Delia $$$$ 1721 W. Division Street

This is a new Spanish place from the team behind Beatnik. Mama Delia is located in the old Black Bull space and has opened a large patio for outdoor dining.

Jollibee $$$$ 831 N Sedgwick St.

This is the first Chicago location (there’s already one in Skokie) of this popular Filipino fast-food restaurant. And while it’s technically in River North, Jollibee is actually a delivery-only virtual restaurant.

Kennedy Rooftop $$$$ 1551 W North Ave

Well, we officially have a brand new rooftop that we can actually visit. The Kennedy is on top of the Hyatt in Wicker Park and has a long menu full of cocktails and bar food. And since Chicago is allowed to eat and drink outside, you can actually go here and check it out.

The Han Burger $$$$ 3220 W Grand Ave

The Han Burger focuses on roujiamo, which are Chinese sandwiches. The menu here is very short, just two filling options inside a homemade mó bun - pork belly or brisket with cilantro and chili paste, and a side of spicy potatoes.

Food On The Run $$$$ 8040 S Ashland Ave

This is a new Soul food spot in Auburn Gresham. The menu changes daily, but you can expect to find things like smothered chicken, pot roast, and sides like collard greens or mac and cheese. Available for carryout and delivery.

Gretel $$$$ 2833 W Armitage Ave

Gretel is a new restaurant in Logan Square from the team behind Little Bad Wolf. The menu is similar, with dishes like ramen and lumpia, along with burgers and sandwiches.

Gotham Bagels $ $ $ $ Bagels in Old Town $$$$ 1212 N Dearborn St

Gotham Bagels started in Madison, and this is their first Chicago location. The menu has sandwiches, spreads, and extras like pickled vegetables and smoked salmon. Available for carryout and delivery.

March 2020 Stoffer Photography Swift & Sons Tavern $$$$ 3600 N Clark St

What used to be Dutch & Doc’s in Wrigleyville is now Swift & Sons Tavern, a spin-off of West Loop steakhouse Swift & Sons. The tavern is more casual than its sister restaurant, but is still focusing on steak and oysters.

Plant Based Junkie $$$$ 1635 1/2 E 87th St

This is a new vegan restaurant in Avalon Park, and they’re using their name to make sure there’s no confusion about what they serve. The menu has food like burgers, brats, and nachos, and everything is (obviously) plant-based.

Honeybear Cafe $$$$ 7036 N Clark St

Honeybear Cafe is a new restaurant in Rogers Park. It’s open from 7am-4pm every day with a long menu of breakfast food like pancakes, skillets, and crepes, but also serves sandwiches and salads in the afternoon.

Cobblestone $$$$ 4337 N Lincoln Ave

Ok, we admit this opening is a little confusing. Cobblestone is a new restaurant in North Center that took over the former Northman space (which just closed). But it’s from the team behind the Bohemian House (also closed). You can expect to find European pub food like fish and chips, sausages, and (for now) the same long cider list.

Daebak Korean BBQ $$$$ 1523 N Kingsbury St

We really like the original Daebak in Chinatown. This is their brand new location in Lincoln Park, and it serves the exact same Korean BBQ menu (and hopefully the same delicious kimchi pancake).

This is a new BYOB Mexican restaurant in Archer Heights. It’s mainly seafood-focused (with ceviches and whole-roasted fish), but also has things like burgers too.

My Place $$$$ 1307 S Wabash Ave

The original My Place was in Chinatown and closed a year ago. They recently reopened in a new spot in the South Loop, with the same long menu filled with noodle soups, stir frys, and appetizers like shrimp toast and spicy pig ears.

El Fogón de Elena $$$$ 3149 W Lawrence Ave

El Fogon De Elan is an all-day Latin American spot that just opened in Albany Park. You’ll find dishes like the El Fogon Celentano (rice with steak, chorizo, chicharron, beans, eggs, and sweet plantains), arepas, and a variety of grilled meat entrees.

February 2020 Antepli Turkish Gourmet $$$$ 4849 N Kedzie Ave

This is a casual new Turkish spot in Albany Park. The menu has a selection of spreads, soups, kebabs, and desserts like baklava.

Mundano $$$$ 1935 N Lincoln Park W

Quiote was a great Mexican restaurant that closed last year. So we’re glad that Quiote’s former chef just opened Mundano, a brand new Latin American-inspired place in Lincoln Park. You’ll find dishes like savory churros with manchego, crispy pig’s ears, and smoked whitefish with salsa verde.

Mrs. Gu Skewer Hot Pot $$$$ 2407 S Wentworth Ave

Mrs. Gu is a hot pot chain from China, and this new Chinatown location is the first one to open in the United States. You choose from five different broths and grab all the ingredients (like meats and vegetables) that go into the pot from self-serve coolers and stations.

Yuzuya Asian Grill $$$$ 1415 N Milwaukee Ave

This is a brand new fast-casual Asian spot from the team behind Yuzu, a sushi restaurant in West Town. It’s a build-your-own-bowl operation, where you choose your base, protein, and sauce.

Gallucci $$$$ 1551 N. Wells St.

Since Chicago can never have enough pizza places, we’re glad that Gallucci just opened in Old Town. This spot specializes in Neapolitan pies - like the Tartufata made with truffle cream and prosciutto, or the Norma topped with fried eggplant and smoked provolone.

Paul Strabbing Chicago Board Game Cafe $$$$ 1965 N Milwaukee Ave

In case it wasn’t obvious, this new spot in Logan Square is board game-themed. The menu is made of Spanish and Vietnamese small plates, and during dinner, a “professional board game teacher” will help you and your group choose a game to play.

El Berrinches $$$$ 2151 W Cermak Rd

This is a new upscale Mexican restaurant in Pilsen. The menu has dishes like shrimp empanadas, fried avocado tacos, and roast chicken in mole.

Eat Me Milk Me $$$$ 1111 W Randolph St

This opening kind of sounds like the name of a Marilyn Manson album, but it’s actually a new coffee and tea shop in the West Loop. Eat Me Milk Me also serves bubble tea, cold foam tea, along with baos.

Black & Caspian $$$$ 2908 N Broadway

Black & Caspian is a new Mediterranean and Italian restaurant in Lakeview East. This means you can find everything from kebabs to pasta, and it’s open for brunch on the weekend.

Dash Of Salt And Pepper $$$$ 2201 N Lincoln Ave

Dash Of Salt And Pepper is a new breakfast spot in Lincoln Park. They’re open every day from 7am to 1pm, and serve classic diner food.

Sushi Plus $$$$ 2131 S. Archer Ave

This is a rotary sushi bar in Chinatown, which means they have self-serve sushi on a conveyor belt. And it’s actually Sushi Plus’s third location.

Welcome Back Lounge $$$$ 2423 N Milwaukee Ave

This is a new 70s and 80s themed restaurant in Logan Square. Welcome Back has snacks like chicken wings, mini corn dogs, and stadium nachos. The entrees are mostly sandwiches, with a walk-up window for ordering hot dogs.

Lexington Betty Smoke House $$$$ 756 E 111th St

Lexington Betty Smoke House is a food truck and restaurant in Oak Park, and this is their new BBQ stall in the One Eleven Food Hall in Pullman. They’re serving things like smoked ribs, brisket and rib tips, along with sides like macaroni, biscuits, and candied yams.

january 2020 Chile Toreado $ $ $ $ Mexican $$$$ 2022 W. 35th Street

Chile Toreado is a new restaurant in McKinley Park from the people behind 5 Rabanitos, one of our favorite Mexican restaurants in the city. The menu has dishes like crepes and tlayudas, and there’s also a full bar. Just be aware, right now this place is cash only.

Burning Bush Brewery $$$$ 4014 N Rockwell St

Opened by a former pastor (hence the name), this new North Center brewery has a BYOF taproom and occasional visits from food trucks.

John Stoffer RPM Seafood $$$$ 317 N. Clark

It shouldn’t surprise you to learn that RPM Seafood, the new restaurant from the same team as RPM Steak and RPM Italian, is focusing on - wait for it - seafood. The long menu has things like crudo, shellfish towers, and grilled fish, along with some steaks and pastas. And this upscale spot is down the street from its predecessors in River North.

I'm Vegan & Vegetarian $$$$ 2907 N. Lincoln Ave.

We also doubt you’ll be shocked that a restaurant named “I’m Vegan And Vegetarian” focuses on plant-based food. This new casual Thai BYOB in Lakeview has vegan dishes like pad siew, spring rolls, and tofu satay.

Harbor $$$$ 1312 S Wabash Ave

This is a new Great Lakes-themed restaurant in the South Loop, which means the menu has lots of fish like trout and walleye. There are also pizzas - but we’re not sure what those have to do with Lake Michigan.

Chef’s Special is a new Chinese restaurant in Bucktown from the people behind Giant. They have dishes like kung pao chicken, Mongolian beef, and scallop chow fun. It’s open until 2am, with a shorter late-night menu.

Sam & Gertie's $$$$ 1309 W Wilson Ave

You’ll find things like eggless egg salad, smoked “whitefish,” and meatless corned beef sandwiches, along with gluten-free, vegan bagels. For now, this place is only open on the weekends, so if you’re looking for a vegan lox bagel on a Tuesday, you’ll be out of luck.

Jibaritos Y Más $$$$ 3404 W Fullerton Ave

This is the new sit-down version of Jibaritos Y Más, a Puerto Rican takeout spot in Logan Square. But if you prefer eating your jibaritos on your couch at home, the original is still open next door

Takito Street $$$$ 2423 N Lincoln Ave

Takito Street is a new casual Mexican restaurant in Lincoln Park from the same people behind Bar Takito.

Art of Dosa is a new restaurant that opened in the Revival Food Hall, and the menu is entirely vegan and gluten-free. Along with dosa wraps, you can get also get vegan ice cream in (you guessed it) dosa cones.

December 2019 Phlavz Bar & Grille $$$$ 717 W Maxwell St

Phlavz is a food truck that just opened a new casual restaurant in University Village. The menu has dishes like jerk chicken tacos, salmon egg rolls, and jerk chicken alfredo.

Victory Grill $$$$ 2246 N Milwaukee Av

This is a new spot in Logan Square that serves classic diner food along with things like boozy milkshakes. Victory Grill is also open until 3am (and 6am on the weekend), so you can come here after a night of dancing at The Owl.

Kinton Ramen $$$$ 1426 N Milwaukee Ave

The second location of Kinton just opened in Wicker Park (the first is in the West Loop), and serves five styles of broth, along with shared plates like marinated octopus and karaage fried chicken.

November 2019 Jeff Sciortino L’aventino Forno Romano $$$$ 355 E Ohio St

If you’re looking for a new style of pizza to argue about with your friends, you can add “pinsa” to the list. It’s a type of Roman flatbread-style pizza made with a lighter, fermented dough. and it’s what you’ll find at L’Aventino Forno Romano in Streeterville.

Outside Voices $$$$ 3204 W Armitage Ave

This is a new natural wine bar in Logan Square from the people behind https://theinfatuation.com/chicago/reviews/the-moonlighter" rel="nofollow">Scofflaw. Outside Voices also has a few bar snacks like charcuterie and cheese, mussels and sardines.

J.T.’s Genuine Sandwich Shop $$$$ 3970 N Elston Ave

They also have soups, salads, and snacks like Frito pies and fried pickles.

Jordan Balderas Moody Tongue $$$$ 2515 S Wabash Ave

The only things you could get at the original Moody Tongue brewery (besides beer) were oysters and chocolate cake, but their new tasting room in the South Loop has more than that. There are two options for eating here: “The Dining Room,” a 12-course tasting menu for $155, and “The Bar,” which has an a la carte menu with things like smoked beet tartare and fried chicken with black truffle cavatelli.

Avli River North $$$$ 702 N Wells St

This is a new two-floor Greek restaurant in River North from the same people behind Avli Taverna in Lincoln Park. Expect dishes like chicken shish kabobs and lobster pasta with ouzo-tomato sauce.

The Blurred Lines Between Alcohol Use and Alcohol Addiction

If you or someone you know is suffering from or at risk of an alcohol addiction, take the next step and reach out to a Caron specialist at 877-920-4849 or contact us online.

It’s overwhelming – and many people are turning to alcohol as a coping mechanism. But how can you tell when alcohol use becomes an addiction?

Knowing when – or how – to stop. Have you ever had a hard time knowing when it’s time to stop? Does one drink turn into three? Does three turn into eight?

Spending more money than you should on alcohol.

Trading in enjoyment for drinking. Are you giving up social activities and/or isolating from the personal relationships that normally bring you joy because you’re putting drinking first?

Having strained relationships with loved ones. Are tensions running high? Have you said and done things that have upset friends and family – even when you don’t remember?

Not meeting obligations. Have you had trouble meeting your obligations because of drinking? Have you been late to work because you had a hangover? Have you missed work or assignments?

Feeling physical repercussions when you don’t drink. Have you ever experienced signs of withdrawal when you don’t drink, such as sweating, shaking, or feeling nauseous?

If you’ve answered yes to one or more of these questions, it may be time to talk to a professional.

Anxiety Symptoms in Women

Originally posted on Caron

If you or someone you know is suffering from or at risk of an alcohol addiction, take the next step and reach out to a Caron specialist at 877-920-4849 or contact us online.

Racing heart. Sweaty palms. Struggling to focus. Feeling on edge and nervous. Believing there is something wrong or something will soon go wrong—even when things are okay. If any of this sounds familiar to you, you may be one of the 264 million people worldwide who have an anxiety disorder.

These are just some of the symptoms associated with anxiety disorders. Anxiety is defined by the American Psychological Association (APA) as an emotional state characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts, and physical changes. For women today, these symptoms of anxiety are all too familiar.

youtube

Women are experiencing anxiety more and more today. As women strive to juggle work, kids, relationships, health, and any semblance of a social life, anxiety disorders in women are increasing exponentially. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), women are twice as likely as men to develop an anxiety disorder.

Often, both men and women who experience anxiety disorders also have a substance use disorder (SUD) or alcohol use disorder (AUD). This is referred to as a co-occurring disorder or having a dual diagnosis. The definition of a co-occurring disorder is the coexistence of both a mental health and substance use disorder, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

According to an article in the American Journal of Psychiatry, individuals with mental health issues such as anxiety disorder tend to use alcohol or substances as a form of medication. These substances seem to provide ‘relief’ from the difficult and uncomfortable symptoms of mental health disorders. And while initially, they may seem to work, most times both of the co-occurring disorders worsen.

If you think you may have a co-occurring AUD or SUD and a mental health issue it’s important to realize you are not alone. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) reports that 7.7 million American adults have co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. This equates to nearly 38% of people with SUDs.

Comorbidity, a term used interchangeably with co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis, also suggests that interactions between the two disorders have the potential to worsen both. And, unfortunately, this is oftentimes the case. This is true with anxiety disorders as well.

For those millions of Americans with co-occurring disorders, the sooner help is sought the better it is for both disorders. And seeking help at a treatment center that has experience and expertise in treating co-occurring disorders is crucial. At Caron, our clinical staff provides integrated behavioral health treatment. We understand that treating co-occurring disorders, including substance abuse and anxiety disorders, is an essential component in a patient’s long term sobriety and success.

It’s often difficult to determine which disorder manifested first; the addiction or the mental health disorder. Both can also have similar symptoms as well as causes.

Symptoms of an Anxiety Disorder in Women

Anxiety disorders are real medical conditions. Just like asthma and high blood pressure are physical medical conditions that respond well to treatment; anxiety disorders are also serious medical conditions that can be treated and controlled. If you think you have any of these symptoms of anxiety in women, there is hope to overcome these distressing symptoms which often compromise the quality of daily life.

Since anxiety impacts more women than men, it’s vital to know the symptoms of anxiety disorders in women. Women and anxiety symptoms are not the same for each person. Some women may experience a certain group of symptoms while another woman has entirely different symptoms. However, most of the time anxiety issues in women are manifested in some of the following signs:

Stomach problems such as ongoing nausea, inability to eat much, and stomach pain

Heart rate increases especially during stressful or triggering situations or events

Feelings of tiredness, lethargy, or weakness

Concentration and focus difficulties

Sense of impending danger, doom, or panic

Irritability, nervousness, or edginess

Insomnia and other sleeping issues

Trouble with rapid breathing, sweating, and shaking

These are all signs of anxiety in women, however, it’s important to note that these can also be symptoms of substance use disorders. Anxiety is a normal response to stressful or dangerous situations. However, the problem occurs when these ‘responses’ interfere with daily life and happen when there is no real threat or reason. When these symptoms of anxiety disorders are repetitive and in response to normal daily activities and events an anxiety disorder evaluation should be sought.

If you, or a loved one, has been exhibiting these symptoms and are also using alcohol or another substance to help ‘ease’ them, it’s important to seek an evaluation at a treatment center, like Caron, with the capabilities to treat both co-occurring disorders.

Understanding Anxiety and Types of Anxiety Disorders

There are several types of anxiety disorders that impact both women and men across the globe, according to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) Characterized by excessive worrying about day to day issues such as work, health, and family. Women with GAD may find themselves jumping to worst-case scenarios, experiencing muscle tension, and having sleep issues as well as stomach problems. Women diagnosed with GAD also tend towards depression and often have a family history of depression.

Panic Disorder This anxiety disorder causes the sufferer to feel like they are losing control, a sense of doom, or intense fear when there is no real danger at hand. Some of these anxiety issues in women are described as the feeling that they are having a heart attack, dying, or going crazy.

Phobia Disorders Intense fears or strong aversions to certain situations or objects characterize phobia disorders. The fears are out of proportion to the circumstance or thing feared. These can be social phobias or specific phobias.

There are also a few conditions often associated with anxiety disorders:

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) This disorder generally starts after a scary or harmful event occurs to the person themselves, to a loved one, or being a witness to a violent or disturbing event.

Obsessive-compulsive Disorder (OCD) People with this disorder experience repetitive thoughts and behaviors that cause anxiety. Tasks or routines are often performed over and over in an effort to control the anxiety caused by the thoughts. Each of these disorders is characterized as mild, moderate, or severe. These ‘levels’ of anxiety disorders are generally determined by number and type of symptoms as well as with what frequency these symptoms occur.

The type of anxiety disorder as well as the severity of the disorder help to determine the most appropriate and effective treatment options. It’s important to know that whether an individual has just one or two symptoms sporadically or almost all of these symptoms on a daily basis there are a number of types of treatment options that work to help to control and even overcome anxiety disorders.

Treatment Options for Anxiety Issues in Women

If you are experiencing any of these signs of anxiety in women, it’s crucial to remember you are not alone—there is help. According to the NIMH, nearly 32% of adults in the United States will experience anxiety at some point in their lives.

Many times when an individual or a woman with high anxiety symptoms is struggling to cope and feel better, they begin to self-medicate. Reaching for the occasional glass of wine to calm the nerves is not out of the ordinary, however, for those with anxiety disorders, this occasional glass of wine or use of another substance can become a habit. Not only do these habits often become full-blown alcohol and substance use disorders, the use of these substances often leads to an increase in the symptoms of anxiety in women and men.

It’s vital if a co-occurring mental health issue, like an anxiety disorder, and substance or alcohol use issue is suspected that both are treated. Caron is experienced in effectively evaluating individuals for these issues and creating individualized treatment plans for numerous co-occurring disorders, like substance abuse and anxiety disorders.

Whether treatment is needed for co-occurring disorders or only an anxiety disorder many of the approaches to treatment will be similar.

Generally, most anxiety disorders are treated with a combination of counseling and medications. However, if a woman is pregnant, the course of medications may be altered. This is also true if there is a comorbid diagnosis of an alcohol or substance use issue. In these cases, if medications are needed, psychiatrists are cautious as to what they prescribe as these individuals may be more susceptible to becoming dependent on certain medications.

Medications treat the symptoms of anxiety in women and men but do not ‘cure’ anxiety disorders. For that reason, counseling such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), support groups, and learning stress management techniques are essential.

There are numerous healthy stress management and coping skills that an individual can learn. Practices such as mediation, yoga, exercise, journaling, practicing mindfulness, and more are excellent strategies for relieving anxiety. For anyone suffering from anxiety, acquiring these skills may seem insurmountable now, but once you get the treatment you need and your symptoms of anxiety under control, these approaches can change your life.

The best course of treatment will vary a bit depending on a few factors. Not only is the type and severity of the anxiety disorder essential to determine so too are the causes of anxiety in women and men.

Again, it’s important to take an honest look at your own situation and determine if you may have a co-occurring SUD or AUD as well. If you suspect you do, the right treatment center will be able to help you overcome both and live a happy, anxiety-free, and substance-free life.

Understanding the Causes of Anxiety in Women

Research shows that there can be both genetic and environmental causes for both anxiety disorders and substance use disorders. However, for each type of anxiety disorder and for each person with an anxiety disorder the exact causes, timelines, and ways it manifested can vary.

There are some general risk factors and causes for anxiety. Here are a few:

Experiencing traumatic, stressful, or negative events in childhood or as an adult

Family history of anxiety or depression (or another mental illness)

Physical conditions such as thyroid issues, hormonal changes, or use of drugs or other medications.

When it comes to women and anxiety, it’s important to note the role hormone fluctuations can play. Women’s hormones and anxiety symptoms have been linked in various studies. From hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle to postpartum hormone shifts, if you are a woman experiencing anxiety symptoms it’s crucial to get a physical evaluation to determine if hormonal changes can be contributing to or causing this.

It’s also imperative to determine if you are self-medicating for anxiety symptoms. Alcohol, prescribed medications, and even illicit drugs are often used to combat the sometimes disabling symptoms of an anxiety disorder. If you think you may have a co-occurring alcohol or substance use issue, seek help at a reputable addiction treatment center with an understanding of and focus on treating comorbidities such as addiction and anxiety. Caron Treatment Centers has more than 60 years of experience and success in treating co-occurring disorders. Their highly experienced clinical staff knows how vital it is to treat any underlying and co-occurring conditions to ensure long-term sobriety.

If you relate to these symptoms of anxiety or a co-occurring disorder, remember you’re not alone and there is help available. Take the first step today and enjoy a life free of anxiety. Caron is here for you with innovative addiction treatment and uncompromising care.
