So emotional??? Day 5...

Friends,
Is it normal to be an emotional MESS on Day 5? Holy cow! I had to go to a Stations of the Cross service at the kids' school. It was all I could do not to bawl thru the entire service!!! I'm not normally a cry baby, and I'm more spiritual than religious. Please tell me I'm not about to go loony tunes!

Glad to see you posting Again,
           Kudos to you on your grit! You're through the worst of it -- day 5-- You go girl! Proud of you. As the above posters confirmed it is ABSOLUTELY normal and wonderful that your emotions are all over the place. I'm glad to hear you went to church. It can be a wonderful support--communion, confession, stations of the cross. Of course it doesn't have to be Catholic. It's the faith and continuity that count. If you have a good report w/ your priest even better!l Rock on!

Great Job!!! they said it up above..We suppressed our emotions while using and now the brain is trying to balance out..Your head should be getting clearer and clearer everyday..Welcome the emotions as they are part of the healing process...

Hang in it does get better and better...
