Congrats on the 7 days!  You are doing great!  Emotions are completely normal around the 7 day mark....This will start to go away soon....I would even bet that you will wake up tomorrow and feel a lot better in regards to anxiety.  Valarian root is excellent for anxiety and is natures little valium.  Making it to day 7-8 is the toughest part and you should really pat yourself on the back for making it through the toughest part.  Each day from here on out will get better and better, quicker and quicker.  This is when exercise is the most important and will help you feel better faster.  Keep taking your suppliments and vitamins and keep the water intake high.  Along with exercise, you might want to try protein drinks.  Your body needs lots of lean protein to rebuild...."You get out of detox what you put into it" .....this statement says it all!  Good luck and God bless!

Congrats on 7 days!!!! That's great, im not to far ahead of you im at 17 days clean and i can promise you this it does get better.  Everyone is different but I still get bad days at times but it is usually followed by a good day.  My WD's are very little and with the exception of sleep i am getting back to my normal self again.  As for emotions, I know, i still cry over things now, i think it's because we are NOT numb anymore and we are starting to feel again so all our emotions are coming back, this is all normal from what i have been told.  So hang in there your doing great and keep posting for all the possible information you can get.  Best of luck to you...Dane

All I could tell you is I am on day 13 C/T I know how I felt at day 7 but with your inner strenth and a bit of prayer you will make it you have been through the bad part.Find something at your local drug store to help I asked the Pharmacist he helped a bit

Hang in there! I am starting C/T today. I am dreaming of making it to day 7. That's an eternity to me, but you did it.

It takes some time.  Cut yourself some slack- yes, I know that is very hard to do- and realize your body is very upset at you.  Its basically having to rebuild all the damage that has been done over the last few years.  It will get easier- I promise.  I have more and more moments of feeling like myself and each day gets a little brighter.  Hang in there - 7 days is a great accomplishment and you should be very proud of yourself- I sure am.
