neede some support

[inoverhead]

hey guys. i'm almost 72 hours off norco and need a bit of support. been trying to quit since march with a taper but most of you know how that goes! so cold turkey for me! having mostly mental issues, anxiety, depression etc... but i am also bi polar so i was expecting this. the hardest part is missing my son who is in the care of family while i do this. anyway, i'm stuck on a mountain alone with no one to talk to. husbands at work and we only have 1 car which is probly better for me to be trapped anyway. going to my 2nd meeting tonite but they are hard to find where i live. i had to drive 25  miles to go to my first meeting on tuesday. anyway thanks for listening.

HI HOW you feeling now?? 79 hr in your probably feeling a bit ruff a good hot soak goes a long way with the symptoms if you can get out and get a movie your probably not going to sleep......im also bipolar and your going to feel like your in or heading into a mania thats how it was for me the sleep problems dont help it any just know you can live with this being bipolar but when your meds are off you will want to use bad so heads up fist sigh something ant right get to you phyic dr.....they actuallly took me off all antidepressants wile I detox and for 90 days to avoid the mania I can take them but only in smal doses and only when the depression is really bad lithum has been my magic bullet I wish you luck with you detox if you want p/m me and we can talk privatatly about the bipolar if your uncomfortable with it
otherwise I have had it all my life was diagnoses 7 yrs ago hang in there keep posting good luck and God bless.......Gnarly

i ended up weed whacking my front yard today, it was hard but felt better for a while. my son called to tell me about the new toy he bought with money he earned helping around the house. he thinks i have the flu so last nite after i talked to him he was mad at the flu so my sister took him out to run out his anger. i found a meeting close to me tonite i'm going to. so again thanks for listening

I def agree with Vicki, keeping active is such a big help. It's so hard to do though when you're feeling so awful I know. I too have been in an isolated situation while withdrawing and taking a walk, a bath, reading,'listening to music, etc helps. Good luck! You're not in over your head, you can make it through this with perseverance and meetings (even if they are far) :)

Hi there---   It might help if you weren't so isolated. Everyone needs support during this early process and it's not always good to be alone...At least get out of the house and walk a bit.
Let us know how you're doing.
