day 16 - checking in & adding to the timeline

[banana911]

well for those of you counting the minutes until feeling better i finally have been ok for long bouts since day 14.  day 15 the same & here we are day 16.  yes, i had physical symptoms dropping at days 4,5,6 - but i mean real nice relief here.  i woke up last night at 3:30 am after 4 hours of sleep - but actually fell back asleep at like 7-ish after some time on the computer & woke up around 9:30.  that's 6 1/2 hours - - which is actually pretty amazing.  

and though the baddd anxiety has left, i am anxious when i wake up, espeically those early hours when i wish i could still sleep.  someone wrote this morning that it is better to just get up rather than just lay in misery, which is so true.  i am also anxious in the late evening when i am supposed to be tired & i feel no where near sleep.  i am not experiencing the depression a lot of people are having (yet, at least) - - i have a lot of "life worry" things, job, apartment, etc - but i can't call it depression.  it's normal i think.  

last thing i'll say is the energy is coming back nicely.  it still hits me, my back is my weakness & it gets stiffish & i want to lay down all of a sudden - but i always had a back thing &  i was never overactive, bouncing off the walls energetic, so hey.  good luck to all.  if i can make it this far, i mean little weak drug addict me, you all going through those days 1,2,3,4,5,6....  can do it, you really can.  may the force be with you all!!
