anxiety is gettin better! Still no pills

[betterdays01]

Hi everyone,  day 17 yippieee.  I cant believe it.  Today I thought that its time to visit my pain management doc and chose not too.  I actually am choosing not to for the first time in a long time.  My anxiety is slowly subsiding, this is one of the better days.  Still a little IBS though.  I have rib that pops in and out from sneezing which I always do and went to the chiropractor on Sat, and back again tomorrow,  but once again I only took 600mg motrin for the pain:)  Are the mood swings still normal?  I feel so good that I dont want the moodiness, depression ect.  Thought about antidepressants but a little reluctant.  Any thoughts?

Congrats Betterdays!!! I'm on Day 18...I'm there with you on the mood swings..horrible; I'm also taking a steroid for one of my health conditions, which adds fuel to the fire!!!

I'm not too sure about Anti-depressants. I take St Johns Wort and although there are mixed reviews, I think it helps me somewhat...

As everyone has told me, and I'm sure you as well, the mental part is the toughest part...hang in there, 1 day at a time...

compare how you feel now to when you did on day 1...in another 18 days, you will feel twice as better as today, so just keep focused on your plan and you will definitely make it..

Congrates on Day 17 !!!!!!!!  You  are doing great it sounds like to me!!   U maynot have many problems with your recovery as everyone is different.  If you notice anything like anxiety or moodieness, just take it for what it is,,, just recovery and try not to dwell on it too much.   Yes,  it is rather empowering to NOT have to go to the Dr. ! lol
Sounds like you are well on your way.  Keep posting and let us know how you are doing!
