DAY 6 AND STILL GOING STRONG

[andie15]

Hello everyone,  today is day 6 and after another lousy nights sleep, I am still here and doing what I need to do.  I can't believe I made it this long and I have even more faith now that I can really do this now.  I still have some w/d symptoms, like this morning I have been sweating something fierce but again, just more of the price to pay.  Anyways, I hope everyone has a great day and stay strong!

Again, thank you to everyone who has responded to me and given me such great support, I can't do this alone and my family and this place are my saving grace's.  Thank you all so much!

And to extrmeski:  I have tried unisom which is no good, I'm just going to ride it out and get used to dealing with things, med free.  Thanks for your help!

At this point I'm not sure what normal is, however, I do feel like I am getting back to it quicker than I thought.  I have found that my appetite has come back full force.  When I was taking pills, as we all know, I had no desire to eat and wouldn't for sometimes several days in a row.  I have started eating much better than I ever did before and taking a multi-vitamin everyday.  I don't know if that's what is helping me feel better but I will certainly take it.  I think you just need to give it a little time, we are on the same day so you must know and feel how great it is that you have made it this far!  It's a huge accomplishment and YOU are responsible for it.  YOU ALONE are responsible for getting your life back and you are doing it and that's AWESOME.  NEVER LET THAT OUT OF YOUR SIGHT AND NEVER LET THAT AWESOME FAMILY OUT OF YOUR SIGHT, THIS IS FOR THEM TOO, YOU ALL DESERVE HAPPINESS AND IT'S IN YOUR HANDS!  You can do it, I'm right there with you.  Let me know how you are doing.

That is great!!  Have you tried benedryl?  it helped me sleep especially after day 6.  I was groggy in the morning a bit but it wore off quickly.  It will all come back to normal!

CONGRATS! Again, im right there with ya, day 6. although, today im not feeling so hot. Still cant eat. Is that normal??? I have no energy,and to be honest with you, feeling this shity makes me worry.....Will I have the energy and strength to be happy with life again without pills?? Dont get me wrong, i have no desire to EVER go back, but I am wondering if I will ever be happy again. I feel so selfish saying that because i am so blessed with  a 9mo. old and very supportive husband. I just want to feel better, thats all. Maybe its the lack of sleep??? Lack of energy?? .....hanging in there. ANYWAY, HAVE FUN WITH THE FAMILY! IM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!

Thanks guys, one of the highlights of my days now is to come here and read about everyone achievements and to let everyone know of mine.  I am actually going out with my husband and two kids today for the first time without any pills.  Usually I need to know I have at least a days worth to commit to going anywhere, I thought nothing could be fun again with out them.  But today, for the first time in years, I am looking forward to spending time with my family just for the sake of being with my family.  It's such a great feeling.  Well, I hope everyone is well and stays well.
