Anxious Avalanche

O.K. I'm doing all the right things.  Excersize, eating right, protien, veggies, water. Suppliments......I feel more anxious today than I did my first day back to work.  Worse than the day after the Screaming 9 yr old going to sleep at 1:30 am slumber party.  What can I do.  I feel like I am going to turn inside out.  
I have to be "on" at work all the time and I forgot how.  Tell me this little setback is reversable!  I need to be right side out again

It does take time. Sometimes weeks, months. Everyone is different. And the home life situation makes a difference. Is there alot of stress at home? For me, I detoxed from a 1600mgs a day of Oxy, and I had insomnia and anxiety for almost two months....it was bad. But everyday was a little better then before. Just hold on and dont give up. You'll be right as rain soon enough...

Take Care...lisa

I am already anxoius for tomorrow.  12 hours, no break have to be happy, happy, happy all day.  I feel like I am under a magnifying glass and everyone is wondering what the heck is going on with me.

I am clean 19 days.  I really think I would have taken a pill today if I had one.  Thank God I did not.  Can't go back to that.  
Usually, when I am at work, I am booked real tight.....And running late sometimes.  It is almost impossible to go for a little walk. Last night, I went into the bathroom and tried a little deep breathing.  Helped a little.
I will hit the treadmill later.
