MY muscles OUCH

I cannot get comfortable.  Out of soma out of vic out of everything that usually comforts this feeling.  GOing to a hotpad and couch with a good book.  I hate this....time goes so slow.  How do I fill my time up?  Cleaning house didn't last very long...now just pacing etc. and having lots of anxiety.  Icky stomach and achy head and really want to make it stop.  I have to get out of this zone.  Very dangerous.

Going to try to concentrate on something and turn some music on, I am binging from one idea to the next.  Peace~

I know you're feeling terrible beyond words but you're doing it!! You're a strong person and I know you will make it. At times it's hard to concentrate on a book or even a movie. When I was going through through a w/d from 13 years of valium, there were times I couldn't do anything but count how many breaths I was taking.

Things will get better from here. When you get through all of this there is a wonderful person you will meet. The name is Creek and drug free.

Take Care, LS

You really will feel better...I think our minds really play with us once the opiated are out of our system...don't give into that...you know it gets better!  Need I remind you I was on an 8 1/2 hr  airplane ride on Day 5 and I am not one who enjoys flying to begin with...mix together a little w/d anxiety and you've got a raving lunatic!  I sat between my two little daughters in the middle aisle...NO WAY OUT!!!!!!!!  You can deal with this...you are home...you are safe....and you are here on the forum...not 2 miles in the sky with no parachute!!!!!!!!

sorry to hear your having a hard time sweety, it will get better, I promise.

just remember to take "baby steps"
also i find when i get irritated and cant get comfortable, i try to relax (the best i can) and take long deep breaths, in my nose and out my mouth. believe it or not it does help. its relaxing and i think the oxygen helps to feel better.

Marce, I finally laughed, I like what you said about being on the plane with no way out and no parachute. Then on top of that Anxiety, I wont even fly!!!! Creek, take the hot bath, as hot as you can stand it. Alternate ice for 20 minutes and wait 20 min then heat 20 minutes, thats what my Dr suggested anyway. Concentrate on how far youve come, and how far you wanna go. I am. Marce, I have wanted to cry for days, thank you for making me smile tonight, I needed it soooooooooo badly. Creek, think of what all she said and I know your smiling too!
