Hearing how positive you are and how good you seem to feel gives me a little hope. I know it will eventually pass but I want it gone already! I can manage the emotions half decently. Bu can also manage with broken up sleep...I went through that with all my pregnancies too so I'm not a stranger to it. Lol. Bits mostly just the physical stuff and the difficulty in javjng with functioning that's presenting the most problems. I find it incredibly hard to go to work not to mention being productive. I also find it difficult to care for my kids and all of my home duties. That makes me feel like a bad mother and a bad fiancé, a bad woman all around. And that directly effects my self esteem which also in turn effects my mood and out look on things. I try to tell myself it's not my fault and I'll get through it. My fiancé is being stretched thin. He's a wonderful man and doesn't complain but I can see its wearing on him which upsets me and makes me feel shame, guilt, embarrassment, and a lot of other uncomfortable feelings. I don't know...I wanna try and get some sleep though. Have a good night. Thanks for the prayers and support from you and everyone else also.
Thanks! I sure will get back with everyone next Sunday 8/14 at the latest unless I discover that I have phone service on board. I'm feeling okay. It was a rough couple days cause I've had a lot on my plate but emotionally I'm feeling good just hurting physically. On the bright side today is 6 weeks!! Yay!!!
I'm sorry I've been so wrapped up with getting stuff together for our wedding. Tomorrow is our big day...22 hours to be exact! I'm doing okay but yesterday and today took a lot out of me with setting up the travels and chairs and decorating. I hurt. I had been feeling pretty good before that though. I'm sleeping great. I had 2 nights now where I didn't wake up at all!! I'm at 6 weeks today!!! My complexion has changed for the worse. I've never had a greasy face/complexion but I do now and u can't stand it. Did anyone else have that issue? We leave for a cruise tomorrow and won't be back till next Sunday so I don't anticipate posting because I don't believe I'll have service. Thanks for all the support!
HELLO.....Jen, how are you feeling??
Congrats on your time and your wedding. This is all great news.
I never had Headaches like I did coming off my 3 pills, but I was told that the brain has billions of wiring and this all had to adjust back. The body aches come from this too, as my Dr called it Somatic Syndrome, which is your brain sending false singles to your body. Also, we have that rebound pain for awhile, while your Endorphins are clearing out. Hang in...YOU will get past this.
Have a wonderful time on your Vacation too. Come back and give us a Update!!!!
God be with...

Sooo....I'm going on my honeymoon which is a cruise to the Bahamas from 8/7 to 8/14 (late) and i won't be online at all so don't get worried if I don't post. I will update everyone once I'm back though. I'll try to remind all of you next Friday. I will definitely be okay and clean so no worries there!

Try you hardest to keep yourself re-directed and just tell yourself that you are HEALING..physically, mentally and spiritually. I will not even mention out here how long my physical took, let along my mental..However, it did take the mental more then a yr or so. I did c/t 3 meds and each one hit different areas of the brain in one way, and hit other neurotransmitters the same in another way. I can tell you what drug hit what areas, but I am sure you know. I was on a upper, downer and a all a rounder. Ha! My anxiety and anxiousness was on the moon and I was still rocking back in fourth at 40days. I felt like I was in outer space and nothing seemed real in my own world. Each day there was a new Light, we just do not see or feel that at first but others can tell. The re-bond pain will take its toll. The enorphines (pain receptors) are clearing out toxins everywhere, and it will take time for them to produce the natural chem to help relive the pain. I had more pain on my methadone then I did off, but it took some time for me to feel no pain all over.. My Dr told me back then, that as the brain heals all those receptors & transmitters, they will send off false singles to the body. He called it "Somatic Syndrome". Also, being that I c/t a Bezo with mine, that was one more reason the anxiety was on the moon. All of this affects the Nervous System and this takes time to heal too. Time, Time and Time is becoming a nasty word out here..Ha!! By the time I had many, many months in, I was so mad and thought I would of felt SO much better, I felt "Hopeless" too, but I was getting better, it just did not seem so. The good day will come and when it does it will stick around. The roller-coaster will shut down, then you might be on top of the ferriswheel looking down. Your feet will hit the ground and the park will close up for good. We just have to be careful because that monkey can jump right back on our backs. CIK used to call recovery, like peeling layers off of a onion. I heard them say that, on one of my Christians shows just the other day. Someone said on here back in 2012, "Do not tell you God how tough the Storm is, tell the Storm how tough your God is", something like that..lol=Lots of Love.
As far as the sleep goes, well that will take Time too. Make sure you have the room cool and dark. Turn off all lights including blinking ones. Put some lavender in your sheets & blankets when you wash them and put them on the bed. The smell will help relax you. Try not to fight it. A day came, months later and all I could do is sleep. I called it my catch-up sleep. (: Hang in and keep the Faith up, one day all of this will be behind you. The H was more natural, so it does detox out faster, but it is a harder craving. Trust us, you will get better!!!!!!! Keep us updated!
