10 days out is no walk in the park!

It's been a really tough past two weeks, the first week was real bad first more physical symptoms but now its kind of transitioned to mental symptoms, I feel so so so overwhelmed with my thoughts and life, I feel like I'm drowning!! my emotions are sky high and It's killing me.. I broke down yesterday and just cried because I felt like there was way too much stuff going on and I had no control over anything! I've been incredibly tired, anxiety has hit me really bad lately less depression but more intrusive thoughts.. Its just miserable and idk what to do anymore!

Oh I don't know what to say except I am having the same emotional turmoil, high anxiety and intrusive thoughts. My physical symptoms are less too after 3 weeks, but since yours only lasted one week, maybe your mental stuff will pass quickly too.

 

I find this mental stuff far harder to cope with, it undermines you. The physical stuff sucks but at least I knew it was just withdrawal, but the intrusive memories personalise this. make it seem this is who you are. I guess like everything it will pass and if you can distract yourself and try to avoid other stress...(but I expect you know that). Hope you get some relief soon

Thank you! I've been trying to find the words to express this, but you said it perfectly.

Chard-I know it might not seem like it but your doing great.  There is nothing you can do but go through this.  Distract yourself as best you can.  I know it's not easy and the mental symptoms are horrific. Your brain going haywire is scary and helpless.  I know have so much compassion for mentally ill people. I mean I cared before but now I know it is a very thin line between sanity and insanity.  Very sobering.  You will do it!
