i am still not sure how to post this so im trying this

Thank you so very much for getting back to me.  I spent 8 plus hours yesterday practically sitting on my hand as the anxiety and pain in my heart and head was unbearable.  I somehow managed to go see my grandson and being around him made me forget for awhile and felt a little better last night.  How long did your mental pain last?  can you tell me what you did to get through the first few weeks?

Hello and welcome. When I detoxed from oxycodone my lifelong anxiety issues came back full force. So did my chronic back pain. So when the anxiety waves hit the only thing I found effective was to accept them and have faith that someday they would end. I took awhile, but little by little the waves of anxiety and opiate heightened pain subsided.
It is months later I admit, and I still have chronic pain, but I have surrendered to that too. Life is so much better being clean that I have stopped obsessing about pain levels and needless worry. In fact today was unpleasant painwise. I just tell my wife I am having a rough day and get down to the business of making the best of it.
External measures like deep breaths and hot. baths are helpful, but only time will reset the delicate chemical balance in the brain.
But you WILL heal, serenity will come to you and when it does, you will be so glad the serenity did not come in a pill bottle!

Hey. I can feel the desperation in your few short sentences. Listen, you are not gonna feel "normal" at 6 days. I am sure you are over the acute "hump" so it will be getting better from here. Inch by inch. I think peeps expect to feel fine after a week and it just isn't true. I was really disappointed and anxious after I detoxed the first time. I thought I would feel like myself after a week. These dumb pills really eff us up. I know how hard it is, but you gotta have patience.

For the anxiety, hot baths, deep deep breathes, NO coffee right now, and distraction! You may not be sleeping so well and that makes us crazy! It will come back. You have only been using for 5 months, you are very lucky! That will help A LOT in your ability to rebound. Please don't become one of us who have been using for years. Great that you stopped this now.

Keep posting and good job w/ 6 days. It will get better I promise. We just gotta have a little patience:)
