Day 2 serious Anxiety! Can someone Re-assure me please??

[dedicatedtostop]

Start of day 2.. I don't know if I ever slept, really slept anyways! My hands are trembling and my nose is running, starting to feel sick at my stomach..and of course my back hurts terribly! Can someone please encourage me???

I know this sounds weird.. But when I woke up from the nap, I felt better. Physically and mentally. I am not going to make any assumptions but for now, I got this!! Closing in on Day 2

[dedicatedtostop]

All,
I actually laid down for a very long nap, surprisingly , and have only been up about 20 minutes. I fell asleep w my Heating Pad on my back. Woke up took an Ibuprofen 800, cleaned a few things up and here I am! I have a RX for Clonadine at the pharm. My husband is going to pick it up very shortly. Honestly, today I don't feel like doing much of anything! The though did cross my mind to maybe go for a bikeride later this evening but I don't know. I have to force myself to even get up and move around at this point. I still feel the anxiety, just not near as bad at the moment and the moment is what I am living in right now! I do fear Tommorow because I remember how hard Day 3 was before... Sigh.. Hanging in there the best I can and I truly appreciate every single comment! They all help me hang on!

One day at a time or in my case seemed like 30 minutes at a time, Just give yourself the time needed and at day 3 your almost at the top of the hill so hang in there I see you have been around since 2010 so I assume you are aware of what to expect. and that its not an easy task at all I will follow you over the next few days You can do it just like many before and after you.

I have the above post about hot baths.  Putting Epsom salt in is great but if you don't have it just take a hot bath.  I found that it was a great way to kill half an hour while going thru wd's.  To again repeat what previous posts have said, you can't think of things in large amounts of time. Just deal with the next few minutes.  Make yourself a bath or something to eat if you feel like eating.  You're not going to be able to sleep things away, so watch tv or listen to music.  If you can force yourself to go take a hike that would help some as well.  

The most important thing to keep in mind is that every minute that you get through means you're one minute closer to done.

Maybe now is the time for one of those life saving HOT EPSOM salt bathes that I try to tell people about!  IT DOES HELP!  Even if it's to take your mind off of how ****** you feel.  Do you have IPOD?  Calm, soothing music, meditative music, sometimes shouting....I FEEL LIKE ****!!!!!!  Yell, scream!!!!!  I can remember turning over in the bed with butt in air and arms and legs under me screaming into pillow.....the most important thing you need to remember is....THIS WON'T LAST!  It will go away....right now, just take it minute by minute....

This here will pass!
Time & Patience friend.
I know how the Anxiety & no Sleep was and it was on the moon for me. It took a very long time. However this was due to many yrs of substance abuse. It will take time for all them Brain Chems to balance back. The nervous systems and such has to adjust back. Maybe pick up some powder called "CALM" it is a Anti-Stress Drink that Balances your Calcium intake and restores healthy Magnesium.
You could also talk with the Dr about some comfort meds. They have come up with some newer ones these days. Hang Tight!!!
Bless

Try not to think about all day. Think of the next 15 to 30 minutes, find something to do for short periods. Time really does go by quicker and soon you will have another day in the book. Naps are good, exercise, walks, cleaning, anything that will burn some time. You can do this. Know this, this will not kill you, it only makes you feel that way for a few days and then it gets a lot better. Hang in there. Keep posting and reading. You are here for a reason and God has a plan. Trust.

Thank you both! I am doing the deep breathing. I have watched a few shows. I am a tiny bit better for the moment anyways! My back is aching so bad right now.. I am starting to feel a bit sleepy. I didn't sleep well at all lastnight. I wish I could sleep the next 3 days away:-(... I am thinking about maybe trying to lay down and see if I can nap, if only for 30 minutes! Using is not an option at all!! My Dr has always been my only distributor and my pills are flushed. It's no looking back for sure... But Darnit I still need that encouragement..
This has to be the closest thing to Hell on Earth!

Yes, we are here. Try to take take deep belly breaths and count or replay one word over and over in your head like 'blue" it'll at least calm your anxiety for a moment and you can regroup.

This won't last forever. Look back into your past when bad things happened and now you probably don't even think about it. Take a few deep breaths and keep busy. Watch a movie or take a walk. I hope this helped. Take Care. Dove
