DONT GIVE UP! Ive been where you are....i sat in my car for a whole night until about 6 am rocking back and forth becasue my body was screaming....I had gotten one hrs sleep in 2 days....i had to remind myself second to second I CAN DO THIS.... IM DOING IT....ITS WORTH IT. I don't want to end up like how I used to be. Instead of day to day I took it second to second. I KNOW IT'S HARD BUT YOU CAN DO IT....definately try to go get sum valeria root. I am told when people come off methadone they don't sleep for weeks and weeks....I slept the first night i got the valeria root and melatonin. Keep me posted on how your doing ok? Message me anytime!

i know you are worried about not feeling well in the future but i would ask you to focus just on each day for now, even for each hour. If you feel depressed in the future, you could always ask for a mild antidepressant to your doctor. Not selfmedicating with pills that are not intended for depression and make more harm than good on the long run. This is a mistake we all have made in the past, selfmedicating and getting ourselves into much worse problems like addiction so... step by step. Keep being positive on the present, you are fighting for a healthier YOU and this is worth it :)
