day 4 need encouragement

[scoenen]

I am coming off Fentanyl and percs and today is a very bad day.  Just need encouragement.  God,  I don't know how much I can take.

Hi,
I know it's tough, and this will pass. God, see and feels you pain and tears. You will make it. Concentrate in one day at time. Are you drinking lots of water? or any vitamins? I been there and you do feel like your not in your body. But it will pass. Like someone said earlier we hide our emotions for so long, that finally when getting off the meds, our bodies act out in all this different ways, and crying as well. I put in the pray list in my 12 Step Christian group tonight. Hang in there you can do this! You have awesome support here. God Bless!

I can't thank you enough for reminding me why I was doing this.  It is sometimes even hard to think when your in the thick of it.

you are in the middle of the storm, scoenen... keep walking, think that this too shall past sooner than you can think now....what's this when you are changing your life for the best ?? keep thinking that you are saving your life, ...you are not alone even if this the loneliest of times for us goingh through these wds...keep thinking that it's the brightest future what lies ahead of you

and yes, as the other posters have told you, everything is normal.

Every thing you are feeling is normal during withdrawal. And yes, the crying is very normal. We hide our feelings for so long and numb ourselves so that when we finally do detox everything comes flooding out.

Glad to see you talking and hanging in there!

I can't stop crying.   Is that normal?

I am having a heck of a time eating so I picked up some Ensure and have been taking that at regular intervals.  The first two days I was able to sleep but not last night.  I am really jittery, uneasy, pooping, sneezing, uncomfortable in my own skin and so so tired- I guess the typical symptoms.

You are at the worst day of physical withdrawal. Please, please hang in there. It will get better each day. If you give up you will find yourself doing this again and it gets much worse every time.

Talk here if that helps you or read a good book, watch tv, whatever it takes to try and keep your mind off of it.

Day 4 is GREAT Congrads!!!!! Hang in there. It will get better. I promise.
Think of it like having the flu. Take care of yoursef, drink lots, vits, eat. It will pass.
Has the sneezing started yet? At least that made me laugh during my w/d's .
Keep your head high you are doing great!
