Happy, Mad & Dragging at day 26

[tooter212]

How can you go from full of energy and happy, to mad and dragging in the same day? I got plenty of sleep last night. I'm hurting a little and very uncomfortable. Be glad when its bed time.

Sorry to hear your not feeling well but your doing great!!! I did a little venting last night on the site, the ups and downs are rough but nothing worth doing/having comes easy and have faith Girl that there is Light at the end of the tunnel. Hope tomorrow gets better:)

I hear ya,

I am on day 19 and it seems like the bad days will come on with no warning. I had such a bad anger feeling a week ago and finally it is gone. Yesterday I felt so good and now today I have been pretty irritable! Thank god we are not in the first week though right? Whenever I feel bad, I just think about the first few days of detox and that makes me appreciate feeling "alittle" bad. Have a good weekend!

Thanks Brandi, I just need to vent  LOL I've done this before. If I could stay on my feet, I'd do a lot better. I could stay busy all day. I even cleaned out a file draw this afternoon. I don't know how I found anything in that draw!!!! I'm looking forward to the challenge in the rest of the desk!!! I had a trash bag full of shredded paper!!!

Our mood and our energy level can change on a dime.... Irritable, restless, achy.... It's all part of our body craving the drug. Cravings are suppose to last anywhere from 6 - 15 minutes but they can last a lot longer if you don't distract yourself. First make sure you're not hungry... Eat something if you need to then find something to do... Watch a show or movie, work on a puzzle, read a good book, clean, go to a meeting. Do something...the cravings can hit like a lead balloon. Also, your body is using a lot of energy to heal, so make sure you're getting enough rest, vitamins and fluids (soda and coffee don't count... They actually dehydrate you).... You are doing good. Hang in there.

Its hard to deal with those types of days especially when the day started out well and u dont see the crap coming!!  Maybe u over did it the day before or maybe no other reason than its just the nature of the beast we fight everyday. Hang in there u know it gets better.
