Hey anytime... I have a "not so affectionate" husband too! Sometimes I need him for the tough love and other times... well, he just needs to get someplace!!! lol... Hang in there! You will be fine, try and get busy... usually fresh air helps, get outside (if weather is permitting) and get some activity!!! It will get better!

Hang in there! You're still early in recovery..things take time.
Have you tried going for a walk or exercising? Those are 2 things i have found really help me...it's hard to get the motivaton, and i have to push myself....but when i do i feel pretty good for most of the day....I hope tomorrow is better for you!!!

I'm not sure I will have anything to say that will just "fix" this depression. But, just know that you are not alone, sometimes just knowing that you are not the only one in the whole world who struggles emotionally helps. I battle depression myself. When I feel it "coming on", I just get busy. Not saying that this helps me everytime, but, most of time if I get my mind off my problems (which we all have) it helps. Hey my husband has this wonderful idea that we are going to move half way across the country and buy a farm... I dont want to leave my family here... yada yada... but, when I think about all of this long enough I clam up and become seclusive and depressed. Then I just think to myself that at this time none of this has materialized and that I am paying debt of tommorrows worry or a bridge I will not even have to cross... just wasted worry!!! I hope you feel better soon as I will be thinking about you and praying for you! Stay tough!!!

Sorry, I'd have responded earlier, but needed a break, I'm still on another site at the same time. I am going through this too. Just being in w/d this long (three weeks today) and suffering through anxiety/sleeplessness/restlessness/pain has just been killing me. While I can't tell you how to get through it, I can say alot of folks have helped me by telling me with knowledge that all of this will pass. I'm sure the depression will lift then. Sucks for now, but I gotta just get through each day as it comes, ya know? Coming here helps.

Did you look at the amino acid post? As I mentioned SamE 400mg works too. With natural type things, you need to find the combination that works for you. Omega3s help too.

Thanks and no you dont sound loopy my dad has been trying to help with all kinds of natural remedies and i appreciate any advice i can get thank you so much. I always worry about my son (I have 4 kids) but trying to fix me first

momojoe · Answer

I dont know if this will help, but you can check into yourself and see what you think. I found a website while searching and learning about opiate withdraw. There is a product call neu-recover. It is basically 'brain food' I bought it for my son, but he kinda laughed at me. (addict) It helps to restore the natural brain function with L-Glutamine, 5 HTP etc.. Also I found that pepper extract helps give you a boost of endorphins immediatley when sprayed up your nose (I know this sounds painful) My son loved the pepper spray and went through a bottle in a week. It is called Sinus Busters. ($16)  I had high hopes for helping my son with these products, but he is not open to suggestions much these days. I bought the "vitamins" and also a product called neu-becalmd. Going through my sons addiction and all I have been a wreck! My heart races and I have panic attacks where I cant catch my breath. I tried it myself one night and within 15 min my whole self felt relaxed tingly and at ease. I take them at night now and fall asleep very easily. They are 100% natural. a little pricey though. $35 for the becalm and $76 for the neu recover. Just in case you would be interested.  Also, Oregano Oil is a natural pain killer that is 100%natural. I dont know, hope i dont sound loopy, I am into natural healing and have been so frustrated with my sons drug addiction I have consumed myself with ways to help him. That is all.......

Family doc knows husband too well and gave me xanax......lol. Husband is GREAT but i dont know he wants things im not willing to give and i get depressed maybe its just me

liscamdave · Answer

This last time I w.d, the depression was horrible. It was so bad and I would not have been ok if it weren't for some here. I know what you mean, I didn't want to do anything nor did I care. You just have to try your hardest to get through it. Its hard, I know. But we are here for you. I mean that. Anything you need or want to talk about. Have you tried talking to someone? How about your family dr?

cantthink46 · Answer

Seen my doc but didnt tell him about depression. Last time he put me on some kinda super pill and w/ds were  horrible

GoingToMakeIt · Answer

You're not babbling. Makes sense to me. I found dark chocolate (70% cocoa) helped me some. A check up is a good idea, but you can get the supplements, even today.

cantthink46 · Answer

I know this forum has helped. I dont help many on here but i tried, I lurk alot and it has helped i just cant seem to get past depression. I dont even crave the **** dont want it or anything. Not on antidepress but maybe should be. Have been in the past for ( I cant even remember.....car accident/stroke) Im not suffering from stroke made a remarkable recovery docs are shocked just depressed now.......Sorry im babbling

IBKleen · Answer

You need to see your doctor hun. You probably would benefit from a good check-up anyway. Please go, I don;t want to see you give up.

Coolio Hernendez · Answer

Yeah i agree, this whole detox thing is the hardest thing i have ever done.

We will be fine.

Keep busy and exercise, it is the only thing that has really helped (plus this forum).

GoingToMakeIt · Answer

Have you tried any amino acids to help? Also SamE 400mg helps this. Check with Dr if on anti-depressants. I have 2 posts in my journals that might help. Thomas recipe and one on amino acids.
