Feeling sad.....

[desertgirl]

Hey all, I am on day 4 and trying to hold strong, I am forcing myself to finally do some housework and listen to music, what a weird feeling. But I am suddenly feeling very sad and feel like there is a big empty pithold in my stomach for all that I have lost in the past year. And suggestions?

Day 4...thats great; remember the time when you couldnt go ONE day w/o pills; you have come a long way.  I remember day 4 was hard but good news; day 5 is usually better and u are almost there.  Stay on the board when u feel weak, read the posts.  Hold on; tomorrow will be better.

Think about it this way.   YOU are starting to "feel"...those pills let you feel nothing.  Being emotional is part of it...don't confuse it with depression.  YOU are just starting to feel.

Just keep thinking about tomorrow... yesterday is gone.   Eagles song... keep singing it and taking it personally, not a damn thing you can do about what has past but get better for the future.

Thanks all, I guess that is what it is I am starting to "feel" again. Listening to the radio and hearing music and bringing back memories. Feelin better already, it's to bad that we all live so far apart!

Day 4-5 is usually the day(s) I have any type of dysphoria (sort of like depression), however it has never lasted me longer then 2 days, and it usually is over before the end of the day.

I recall one day, waking up after a good "3rd" day, feeling blue. I thought I was over the hump, and now I'm mentally upset?!?? I almost felt like crying - that morning at work was sooo rough. By the afternoon, I felt a bit more perky, but not happy. That evening, I watched some TV and I caught myself laughing. I was shocked -- the same person that dreaded a life time of dysphoria in the morning, was laughing that same evening. It only got better.

As you mentioned, you are already feeling a little better - trust me, it will only keep getting better if you don't turn back. :)
