Someone with some time behind them please tell me I will feel like myself someday again. I am being realistic and know these things take time..but I feel horrible emotionally,walking around like a zombie! Day 10.

Thanks guys. All of my clients are saying "whats wrong you seem really off " im trying so hard to act normal..guess its showing all over my face..its scaring me that im so depressed.it really is..i guess if its normal then I will try yo stop worrying. I know ive abused my body for the past 3 years with the 6 to 8 hydro a day. I just didnt think it would be this bad! Holding on and praying for strength to get through this. I thank each and every one of you for taking the time to respond. Its the only thing keeping me going right now!

Hi bb, just wanted to let you know that yes, it does get better. I know it doesn't feel like it right now. Yet, after a little over 6 months clean (my last pill was on November 18, 2011 at 5AM) I can tell a big difference in my life. I don't wake up and grab a pill from the nightstand first thing in the morning. I don't have to count pills any more. Was it easy? Heck no. It has taken NA, counseling, and a whole new way of dealing with my pain management.

It did take me a while to eat normally too. Yes, drink some of the Ensure. I still drink them. They are packed with the vitamins and protein your healing body needs right now.

Hang in there, you'll be surprised at how much better you will feel. You can do this!

Hugs,
Minn

Maybe try looking it at this in a different way.  We abused our bodies for a long time and healing needs to be done.  Our organs took a real beating and they dont repair themselves in a week or 2.  They have to learn how to start working again on their own as they all got lazy while we were using.  We can see the physical changes but we cant see what goes on inside our body.  Our emotions are all over the place during this time too as we numbed those up too.  You are coming alive now, embrace it and be good to yourself~~

I've notice after only 46 days clean my old self coming back more & more everyday! I so look forward to waking up & having good feelings that i know i once had before these devil pill's took over my brain. I remember the first couple of weeks after quitting being like "Ok i've quit, why do i still feel like crap on the inside" but then i realized i abused my body & mind for about 8-10yrs with these pills & it won't heal over night, it takes time. Congrats on ur clean time & just take it day to day or even hour by hour cause things are much better on this side! Love & prayers! Stacy
