Day 7 and feeling better!

Question

Yesterday was the worst!  Thought this is it, my heart can't take it.  The muscles in my stomach are sore from tossing my cookies all day and my eyes are all bloodshot but today is a different story.  I think from pure exhaustion and maybe some mercy from God I got 4.5 hours of sleep last night!!!!!! I woke up and my tummy held down breakfast and all is good!  Going out for a nice brisk walk with my little puppy Pepper.  Hope everyone has a good as can be day!

Hope today finds you feeling a bit better its a tough road but recovery is just that recovery and around day 7-10 you are on the tip on the first of many hills so try and take this weekend to find some sun and be thankful that you have survived the first part of your new freedom best wishes.

So today must be day 9 for you!!  Hurrayyyyyy!  Hope today finds you feeling better and able to eat a bit!!  
Dogs are awesome!  Their unconditional love is a godsend and an inspiration!!!  I remember my Bubba sat with me the first 6 days and as soon as I moved he was right there!  He was such a huge part of my healing process!!   Always there to give love and also giving us a reason to give love and having someone to take care of!  
Hope today is Great for you!!!!

Pepper is as exhausted as I am, my poor furry baby. Like you said she sticks beside me constantly. She is a 8 lb yorkiepoo all black, year and a half old. We call her princess pepper because she always needs to sit on a pillow.

Your lucky that's for sure!!! I'm on day 21 and the physical part has subsided though it left a hell of a battle with my mind. Depression is no joke, I can't enjoy anything that's worthwhile and going out helps a lot so walking the dog will help tremendously!! I rather have went threw a extra weak of the physical part just to have easier symptons dealing with boredom and depression, that's for sure. You are lucky though to be feeling good so early!! Don't stop, don't let up. Keep going stay active out run the addiction!!!! Ha have a good day mono start a post so I can talk with you!

WoooHoooo!  Congrats on day 7!!! 
 I know for me taking the dog out for walks a few times a day helped so much...even though it was the middle of winter!!!  And I KNOW that Pepper loves it too!!!  :)  It is true that we DO learn how to become grateful through this process!!  Even almost 10 months later I find something everyday to be grateful for!!!
Hurray for you!!!!  :)

Allison, you may not suffer as much as I.  Everyone is different and you are coming off a much lower dose than I was.  Try to think as positive as you can and it will be over with in no time!
