You've been through labor multiple times. Think of it that way. It will eventually be over but instead of a baby you'll have your life back. You'll be tired and have something like postpartum but it too will pass. My first labor was horrible. ..scary. ..and I was tired and depressed afterwards because of ending up with a c-section but it was worth it. It took more than 6 weeks to recover.  I don't know why we think this will be different.

Keep pushing! I am coming down on day 3 and I am starting to feel better now.  I still have a lot of flu symptoms but for me the worst part has been the depression.  My husband has to go back to work on Monday I am dreading him leaving me and my 5 kids depending on me!  I have a 8 year old, 6 year old, 4 year old, 2 year old and 6 month old so not exactly kids I can just tell to fend for themselves.  I am completely surrendering it all to God and just praying He pulls me thru because there is nothing I can do but stick this out because I refuse to go back to those pills and I did not get 3 days done just to start all over.  You can do this!!

Forgot to tell you that I've begun studying herbal. If you'd like, I can see if there may be herbs that can help.

Yes, this is normal! We werent kidding when we said it sucked!!! But exactly where you are right now, we've all done it. I did this at home, just like your doing now, and so far everything you've described sounds pretty on point with w/d. But your letting it freak you out...dont, just think of it as, your sick! It will be over in a couple of days (physically) and then you can decide how to move forward! Alot of people on here told me to force myself to get up, which was soooo extremely hard, but i had to. You have to find that inner strength....u know u have it...push yourself!

[dwhitti777]

Yes... it really does feel that bad... but don't let your brain lie to you. It will get better...just like getting over a really bad flu or childbirth. In the middle you wonder if you'll make it...but you will. The only thing that will make it last longer is to give in now.

OK Sheri,
I've wondered about you all day. Even sent a note. My day 3 had me jumping up about every 2 minutes and pacing the house. I'd try to soak except I'd jump out of there after a couple of minutes. My name is Joy. I'm also bipolar so I really worried as the melancholy set in. Maybe I've swung the other way and all my optimism is just a flip to manic and the world will suck again soon. But if it really is having passed the door to he'll then I can honestly tell you that the fight is worth it. It's just a pile of dust pressed into a shape. Don't let that win over a competent intelligent woman! Stay strong!!

Yes YOU can!!!! Like motye mentioned..Music and Epson salt baths..The salt has magnesium in it and it will help draw out toxins too.
The detox will be over soon..It is working on staying clean that takes the cake!
Try not to fight it and just surrender to your higher power..This is a good time to hit any and all meetings you can..You can hit AA-NA-Church-on & on..There is help out there. Please try to hang in and try not to let that old tape in the brain play over & over using EVERY excuse in the book to use..I know this succks and to me it is the hardest thing or disease I have ever had. I have almost 2 and a half yrs in from using for almost or over 40yrs. It does take so much work and you need to be at a meeting right now and every day for a very long time. You need to meet clean friends and stay away from people, places and things. This getting clean takes a whole new life style change and a whole new world for you. Just take it one day at a time and make sure you are drinking TONS of water and eating very healthy. Try eating and taking vit/min that help draw out toxins..There are tons out here..I will send a pray for you that you can make it just one more day and the one more again and again..You will love the new you!!!
Bless

Trying to stay positive but its so hard .I can't beleave I did this to myself.im so sick of the whole job of keeping up with the pills.I think I need inpatient rehab cuz I don't think im doing this right . Should I feel this bad.

[motye51]

You can so do this....dont give in now!!!!
Your going to have to go through this eventually....so get it over with now....keep putting in your mind, this is not permanent, im not going to stay like this.
When it got bad is when i would run for a hot epsom salt bath, it will help with the ache. Do you have earbuds??? Plug in your music player, go fill up your tub and soak...
This might sound stupid, but it worked for me....what your describing would come in waves, like panic attacks, i would go and look in mirror and tell myself, i can do this, i am stronger than these ******* pills, this is temporary!!!! Be badass!!!! Screw those pills....  dont let them win.   Your just sick, this will pass!!! Keep posting, your doing great!!!
BTW... i used anthem type music to find my stride in this, pump u up, feel good music! Do it!!!

[dedicatedtostop]

Look at how far you have already come! If you give up now then your going to have to go through this hell all over again. I promise, you will start to feel better soon. Long slow deep breaths. I know it *****, I relapsed after 30 days and I am now closing in on day 4. All I keep tellin myself is to get through it because I know how good life is on the other side. It really is!! Remember this is just a moment and this shall pass! Keep posting, we are all here for you. Remember anything worth having takes work. Get through each day and the next and the next will only be better!
Xoxo
