29 days I just want to CRY

I am day 29 clean from morphine I hae been feeling great but the last 5-6 days I have been an emotional basket case. I really have no control over my emotions. I just cry about anything I have to deal with.

yeah, I know what you mean. Just let it wash over you and know it's just temporary, you'll feel better later on, maybe it will come on again but little by little you will have more up time than down. You have some good posts here. Keep up the good fight. I have to do the same, I'm only on day 25 I have my ups and downs. We can do this!

You can do it.  You have to force your brain to produce some happy chemicals.  As stupid as this may seem, eat some dark chocolate and watch a comedy.  I was a heroin junkie and now work with getting people off heroin and morphine in Russia.

Honestly, you're through the worst if you're at 29 days.  You can do this if you keep going.

Congrats on feeling again!!  Your emotions will be all over the place now.  We have numbed them up for so long that we arent used to feeling anything.  I used to cry watching commercials.  Let yourself feel your emotions now.......Its okay.         sara

Most addicts use because we have emotional issues such as depression, or bipolar, ect.  The drugs make it so we don't have to feel anything.  Your brain is being rewired after all these years of drug abuse.  go see your doctor.  Depression is a very common symptom after we stop using. Maybe they can offer you advise on therapy or a medication you may need to help stabilize your emotions.  Remember, It is ok to feel things!  That means you are strong, and you are clean!!

I think that we all hit a rough spot at some point. Is there anyone you can talk to or are you doing any meetings or aftercare? That helps me.
