Anxiety was too overwhelming
I am totally exhausted from not sleeping much but thought I had a handle on not worrying about it. Out of the blue a major panic attack hits me. I tried to breathe through it but it was too much. I went down and got 3- 5mg percs off my tenant. I took one and waited but the anxiety didn't subside. I took the other one and finally had some relief. Now that the anxiety is gone, I am in shock that I did that. I can't believe that after all I have been through and all the agony that I have blown it. I didn't feel good from the percs. I still felt sick and have a major headache but it did relieve the anxiety. Now I just feel like crying. I thought I had it under control and I just feel so weak and discouraged. I don't even have a desire to take that 3rd pill. Now what????
You are far from alone! All of us that are going through wds. An relate. I'm on day 12 and the anxiety and lack of sleep is brutal. Just live in the moment and start over! You cant undo what already done. You are in a fight with the biggest Bully you will ever encounter. Don't let the bully win. Preserver!!!!!!
Yes its does and will get better you have to want this more that anything Ever!! STAYstro g Pat and learn from your mistake you r still on day10 tomorrow will be Day 11! Believe that!
now you get up dust yourself off and move forward learning an important lessen.........this thing wont go away on its own it takes work you need to get involved with some sort of aftercare to learn what to do when you panic .........as addicts we need to change the very way we think and reason to overcome our illness left to our old way of thinking we will use its time for N/A or another support group this will get you grounded in recovery itd the thinking thats got to change good luck and God bless..........Gnarly
Yes, I do need to do something about the anxiety. I went for counselling years ago for panic attacks and it did help. It's funny they wanted to put me on medication and I refused. This is the worst they have been since then. Even when my husband and sister died I didn't have the anxiety I have now. It's overwhelming again so I will have to get help.
