Congrats on day 2!!!!  Im sorry you are feeling like such a mess right now.... I wish I could say there was an easy way through it but the only way is to keep going forward with it!!!!  I have never been on tramadol but it was pushed at me numerous times by my Dr!  So glad I never tried it!  Are you taking any supplements to help you through?  Sometimes they can help with the anxiety to get you through!!!  Keep on taking the baths!  They really do help to calm you and get rid of the aches and pains!!!  Keep hanging in there and keep posting!  We are all here for you!!!

Take deep breaths. When I can feel myself on the verge of a panic attack that sometimes help. Do you write in a journal at all? That could also help a little with the anxiety. Hope you start feeling better.

I have some issues with my feet and have to stand/walk 8 hours a day. Probably not as bad as yours... but I bought one of those bubbly footbaths. Sometimes I rub them in Ben gay (if they aren't hot) and then put socks on and massage them myself. I also splurge on a spa pedicure every two weeks or so. It helps with the circulation and aches.

That's very true. I've always had anxiety. But not like this. I hope to celebrate in a year by getting married! Crazy enough my fiancé is a doctor but is practicing in Saint Lucia right now. I go every 2 months and leave again in February. He has been so wonderful. Another horrible thing is that I have severe foot pain. It helps to soak them but they get so bad they just cramp. Tomorrow is day 3. Praying I'll get relief and energy soon. That would be so fun to visit!

I definitely can relate to that. Before they put me on the fioricet I don't think I ever experienced this level of anxiety. Sure I got stressed..but not panic filled. Even when I'm not trying to come off the stuff I get anxious.  I think it has made me that way. Let's just remember that that fear and panic is NOT who we are...it's the meds trying to keep us down so we "need" them. But we don't. ... There are better days ahead once we kick them out of our heads!

When you are clean a year from now... what do you want to do to celebrate?  I think I want to travel. It'll be so great to plan a trip without trying to make sure I have enough of my prescription.  My oldest daughter just moved to Japan. Maybe I can go visit.

Thank you. I've been very emotional. I'm sorry for your loss. I Have so much anxiety I feel like I csnf breathe

[dwhitti777]

I'm sorry you are feeling so emotional... but glad too in a way as it means that another part of your brain is waking. I understand how exhausting it can be though as I still have those days after losing my husband. Pamper yourself and allow things to come out too.

[Shawnee1988]

Thank you for replying to me. I'm just having an awful day and feel so alone

Just remember to try and calm your mind, go into your peacefull state. Try to relax yourself

I can't get to the store tonight but I have Epsom salt to use in my bath

[scaredmamaneedshelp]

Can you get to the store? You should try icyhot pads for back and legs. And I believe someone mentioned a special type of socks?

[Shawnee1988]

I'm on day 2 of a 2 week relapse on tramadol. I am going to take a bath now. My main problem is severe anxiety and super achey feet.

You got this. How far are you into detox? Have you been soaking in the bath? You are okay. Do you have the number to a NA hotline so you can physically talk to someone who has been there?
