[sjmommy8745]

I just cant take feeling this way anymore!!! Im seriously going outta my mind..No oxy in 7 days, had some help using xanax, and a 5mg vic. but my body is KILLING me and my mind is going CRAZY! I dont want to take anything today ecxept vitamins and I HATE THE WAY I FEEL! The worst part is that I have called EVERY SINGLE addiction psychiatrist in my area and they are eithr not accepting new patients or their prices are ASTRONOMICAL! Its ridiculous really. I even called the free clinic in my area to make an appt...I have to wait a week before Ill even get a return call to even set up an appt. Im feeling so crazed right now,, like im gonna jump outta my skin! HATE HATE what ive done to myself!!

I really think the only thing to help our feeling this way is TIME. I know i always hated hearing that too and still do. Im somewhere around 50 days clean right now and i still have days like you are describing right now. I just wanted you to know that you are not alone. I see a counselor every week as well as several support groups and some days i feel like i am on day one again, lol!!! Hang in there, you are doing great and keep posting here whenever you need to for support. We are all here to listen and to help when we can, God Bless..... Luv, Jacky

First of all congrats on those 7 days clean, that is something to be proud of. I am having a day from h ell myself and wanted to offer some support. Lets get through today and worry about tomorrow when it comes. One day at a time.

How long have you been on the oxy's and how many were you taking? Don't give up on calling around for the addiction phychiatrists. Have you ever tried N/A for a support group? Just remember, it takes some time to recover and it's impossible to feel normal after a week, but your going in the right direction now:) BE TOUGH and keep getting support
