mini meltdown

[lostmakeupgirl]

Okay so I'm extremely emotional right now... Not sure why but I've been craving besides the obvious... Chocolate? So I bought like 4 bags of discounted valentines candy on my way home they are hearts w reeses herseys milk and dark chocolate for some reason I can't eat but I can pound down some candy? Well when I woke up I can't find my candy and I can't remember where I put it omg I have a 2bd apt where could it possibly be and I'm storming around crying because I can't find my candy :( I feel like an idiot why am I crying over chocolate? I have issues obviously... Has anyone else ever freaked for no reason while detoxing or am I losing it?

I've had the same kind of nights. The drugs rob us of our ability to feel. When we clean up, BAM!! Feelings!! What is this ****? Yea, it'll pass. Just hang on tight. The roller coaster eventually stops.

Thank you for all the kind words I have since calmed down and yes actually the dark seems to not make the stomach turn as much I am still shaky/leg pain etc.... But doing my best to just deal with it and to remind myself I've felt worse and I can do this!

I didn't know about the sugar thing either but from what i looked up and heard from alot of people here it is pretty normal and for me I am still always wantin sugar and I never did so much before. But I am glad you found your chocolate so Bon Appétit! You'll do great tomorrow!!;)

You are not losing it nor are you a nutjob.  You are finally feeling some emotions so let yourself cry.  I used to cry over commercials!  Your emotions will be all over the place for awhile.  This will level out.  The forgetfulness will also subside.  Just hang in there and i hope you find your candy~~sara

Found my chocolate....it was in my fridge where my daughter put it to keep it fresh now she thinks I'm insane I woke her up with my panic I feel even worse now oh dear

:) still crying and I only ate 1 bag I should have 3 more my memory has been crap I think from the demon pills but not that bad I really need to calm down somehow I have 2 weddings to do tomorrow (makeup artist) and its bad enough that I'm detoxing don't want to add nutjob to it! I can hide the detox well I'm trying anyhow and why am I so focused on sugar? Is this normal? Its new to me... And I stopped looking I'm sitting in a corner crying like a lost little kid except I'm 25 :(

LMG..

Ahh the emotional rollercoaster of detox...Let yourself cry!  The emotions that were numbed by the pills for so long come back with a vengeance, and sometimes you just gotta ride it out.  Give in and cry...Losing chocolate?  Definitely worth crying over.  You are working through detox!  It's hard!  Give yourself a break and be proud of yourself for making it three days clean.  
Treat yourself gently and with love..
You deserve it.

Ok ... We love our sugar! You can't find it perhaps cuz you ate it all? And although I haven't had the emotional ride many have ... I have seen it so much here and it passes fairly quickly. Try not to stress and just relax....and if the chocolate does turn up ...more power to ya'! ;)  too much sugar could have also brought this on... Other than that.... You are doing awesome!!
