Help Day 10

[Ejm7263]

So I felt a little better yesterday. Then sleep was not happened last night. I don't know why I panic when I can't sleep, yes I do. NO ESCAPE!  Even for a second. Then today is the worst. I even thought go to the ER & get clonidine to make the anxiety go away. I went to a meeting instead. I'm not going to take anything BUT remind me how I felt better yesterday & today I feel like I can't walk from the bed to bathroom. I'm taking all the vitamins & stuff you'll told me.
Today
Weakness
Diarrhea
Nausea
Skin crawling worse
I know I'm on track just remind me I am, PLEASE.
Sorry for rambling.

Hang in there Ejm, you ARE on the right track. Withdrawals are a necessary step in this process, and yes, it is hard. I hope you will start feeling better soon. Please know that there will be ups and downs, good days and bad days. Take things one at a time. Sometimes it is one hour or one minute at a time. Keep going to meetings and get some strength and support there. Keep posting here. You must stay focused and strong! You can get through this and move on with your life. Take care! All the best!

Your comment NO ESCAPE is very true. When I detoxed, I had waves of panic, and no way out. I just hung on to the thoughts: "This too shall pass." and "This I will remember" (and never return)
It seems that when I finally gave up on getting decent sleep, and started to care less about anxiety and panic, things got better just a little at a time. Keep your eyes on the prize-being clean is well worth the dues we pay to get it.

Hun, you made the decision to beat your addiction. No one told you it would be fun. I'm just being honest here. What you are going through is what all of us have gone through. It isn't easy and I am sorry for what you are experiencing but it is so worth it.  I ran around for too many years getting high and then when I wanted to stop I got sick as a dog. I was pissed! But I learned that I had to get there to get here. Hang in there..it will all turn out for the best.
