Day 2 of withdrawing ct

I learned so far just in 2 days that the mind is very powerful because I have gone a day or 2 without any pills in the past and I felt far worse than I have so far and I truly feel its because in the past I didnt want to be without I just couldn't find anything!! These last two days it has been MY choice and I have pushed through whatever was thrown at me. I was able to sleep 6 hours last night just with melatonin and I have been making sure to take lots of vitamins and baths throughout the day. Also being on this website and reading all of the positive comments and knowing that I am not alone helps deal!! :)

That's FANTASTIC, I know it's sooo hard to make yourself do something, but I found that staying busy and just going through my routine helped immensely. We can't sleep anyways, so why lay around  and just dwell on the 'ick' feeling of wd?? Good for you! Fresh air and moving around will do wonders for you. Great post, great attitude, keep on keeping on!!

Yes it is amazing how powerful our mind is and whether we choose to think positive or negative.  Thank you I will have to try my headphones when my mind isn't thinking the way I want it too.

This is awesome. Your mindset is really good to continue and push through this!  Isn't it amazing what they mind can do to us??  I'm just starting to realize this for sure.  Continue on your journey and just fyi..I found when I needed to get out of my own mind, putting in my headphones helped a lot.  Music, music, music, definitely got me out of my own head!
