It is so hard.... I know. keep it up. Day 6 was a blur for me....I am day 14 and well the last 14 days are a blur...it does get better. The energy and emotional stuff takes longer. Hang in there. You are doing well!...everyone here knows how you are feeling and the longer you are clean the better you will feel.
At this stage of w/ds. Anything is possible. You are probably being flooded with so many emotions right now. Keep up the good work. You will soon be shouting on the other side.
is it possible to be proud and ashamed about the same things
Be proud that you are getting yourself out!
We're all ashamed of the situation! But the drug is both PHYSICALLY and MENTALLY addicting.... it'll be ok...just keep doing what you are doing....
today at 7:30ish will be exactly one week....
Well I am still ashamed that I got myself in this situation!
Yep.......you're in full blown aftermath. Just believe us when we say that it gets better. The problem right now is that time is passing too slow. One single minute can seem like 24 hours. The depression is caused by lack of sleep leading to no energy and feeling like a zombie.
But isn't it good to have people here that are going through the same thing with you, struggling with you, helping you and cheering you on?
So is it day 7 yet? Good job on a week! Wow.......you should be proud!
I feel a lot worse when i dont take them.....but i started with a 1/4 pill but that got me wasted....So the next day i cut my dose in half and just got nauseated and that wore off.....So today i took the same dose about an hour ago and i feel a lot better than i did when i woke up..... But I still have the empty feeling that nothing matters... I miss snorting the pill more than i do the high... i just loved the whole ritual.....so knowing I cant means there is nothing to do! I still feel very anxious,constant dry mouth(that may be the weed That helps me with the nause and the eating....) I just cant think straight, I cant make any decisions decisively!
i am on day 12 and i feel physcical symptoms a little better. BUT NO ENERGY AND
i have to go to school and gymnastics. i am so moody and irritable. i wish i could just lay down and wake up a month from now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
your not alone
I'm confused (which is my normal state anymore lol) Your on suboxone and still feeling this bad ? How many mg's are you taking ? Sorry I haven't been on that much in the past few days and I'm not up to date. I was sick to my stomach the first few days on the sub also.
I am now craving one of those sandwich's. YUM YUM
Wow, I'm impressed you ate that much!!! I found that once I started eating again (lost ten pounds in 5 days-probably sweat) that energy started to come back...it's sooooo hard though. Be patient...and try to be optimistic. I felt like I was at the bottom of the valley and EVERYTHING was at the top of the mountain...I mean everything....getting up to get a glass of water would make me cry. Literally. So I think those of us who have been through withdrawls can totally relate. Be proud, you're making alot of headway...the first days are the hardest days! I didn't have any suboxone, so I can't elaborate on that one.... mmmmm......I want a sandwich...and it's only 9 am.
glad you got out...does wonders for you...hang in there
sleep was intermittent,alot of tossing and turning,I woke up with that feeling of 1000 pounds on my chest.I have been drinking green tea, a lot of water, and 1 cup of coffee.....no food yet but I ate pretty good last night. I mustered up the energy after the nausea from the suboxone wore off to go over a friends house for a suprise 40th. well i missed the surprised. Friends that know what i am going through were suprised i made it. When i did get there i had a nice Salami, swiss,sweet italian sausage, and porchetta sandwich with peppers and onions. on a sub roll....For those of you that are not familiar with a porchetta( por-ketta)....It is an Italian pork shoulder de boned and seasoned with a lot of garlic, fennel,rosemary,basil, olive oil,,, etc..... anyway the sandwich was pretty damn good... The second one was even better! So yesterday had it's ups and downs....Hopefully today gets better after the suboxone takes over....right now i am very anxious.....you guys have to try one of those sandwiches....it was awesome!
It will get better. Hang in there. I know you have no energy, but if you can drag yourself outside for a few minutes and breathe some fresh air. Try to walk for a few minutes. It will help a lot. You can do this. Day 7!!!! Be proud! Before you know it you will be celebrating a month!
Are you eating and drinking enough ? The lack of motivation and depression can last a while. What are you feeling like today ? Are you just lazy and depressed or having other symptoms ?
Day 7 hasnt started any better......
You know how much your wife loves you. You can do this. be good to yourself. You will be so much better in the end. Think about your future. It is a good one. You and your wife, healthy and happy. You can do this. You can. Another hot bath. Do that. It will help. You can do this. It is hard now, but it will get so much better.
