Anxiety

Does this anxiety ever go away?? I hate waking up every morning, just shaking inside my body. I wake up every 30 min from 4am to 6:30 and I'm out of breath and have to come myself with deep breaths and tell myself to go back to sleep for a few more minutes. This is crazy, I'm day 13 today....just wanna feel normal again, this *****. I know I've come a long way from 13 days ago, but it's frustrating, i'm still in cold sweats at night for the past few days and this anxiety is killing me....

Hey Crys833 - Know what your saying. Been 26 years in the crapper with drugs and booze, I am still wondering what "normal" is, it's only day 14 for me. I do know one thing: I'm way, way better than I was 14 days ago. Keep fighting the good fight, you know all the reasons why, I just read them. I know I'm never going to have that feeling again but am prepared for "normal". It will find you, don't worry and you will look back at these days and say Now WTF was I thinking back then? lol

Keep with the music, I spend hours everyday listening too. Crying also, which is not me in the least, but hey, what you gonna do? Go with it. Anything has to be better than being chained to a pill bottle. :-)

I was a snorter too, don't know if that means anything, but I know my nose is happy these days. ;-)

Stay tough.

Gary

Hey Crys833 - Won't say I told you so....but. Feels good, huh? You are well on your way. As Dav125 said above, you are going to have some downs, get into your music then. Dance with your daughter. So glad to see you posting some really postive things.

The ups are pushing the downs out the door, but they are fighting to stay. Keep kicking *** and taking names! You have so much to look forward to now, isn't a wonderful feeling?

Still doing good! I haven't been hit with any anxiety yet. I really hope it's starting to go away. I'm not one to be a nervous wreck all the time:) I am lucky  I haven't had much sleep deprivation, i used a half of a sleeping pill during the first few days and then switched to benedryl and unisom after that. I didn't want to screw up my sleep cycle with sleeping pills. The wd's this time around affected me much differently, i hope that's a good sign.....instead of feeling sketchy at night i 've been sketchy in the mornings, i literally tire myself out by 9pm i'm ready to pass out and make myself stay up until 10 at least. I hope sleeping gets better for you guys soon too! Big Hugs**
