Open eyes - see daylight. Think, oh wow, I may be starting to feel..NOPE! BAM - nausea, racing heart/palps, stomach pain, fear/terror. Within 5 seconds of opening my eyes.

I feel decent for about 15 minutes or so and then everything sets in. It's literally like Groundhog Day over and over again. I really question if I'm even in withdrawal sometimes.

"Whoah everything is so bright and blurry and traily - did I take a hit of acid in my sleep or do I have sleep apnea?"

 

"I had so little pain yesterday. Now it is all back even worse, even though I had a good night of sleep? What the hell."

 

"Well I guess I'm not going to fall asleep and theres 2 hours left so Ill just go to work early"

since I CT'd Prozac about 8 months ago, I wake up immediately to racing thoughts, looping music (this symptom is SO bad and intense!), trembling adrenaline running through my body accompanied with some pain. Also tinnitus and eye floaters. Ugh.

AlienResources....You literally took the words out of my head. This happens to me all the time. I woke up at 6 today and decided to do housework. My nerve pain is so intense that it interferes with my sleep too. Thank you for this post.

Anongrl,

I also get the looping thoughts and music like crazy. Usually it's accompanied by some nasty muscle tension in my back too. Oh, and my left eye was blurry for thirty mins this morning, but my right one was on point.  :thumbsup:

How many months out are you now? Have you had the looping thoughts and music everyday 24/7 since you jumped? So weird what these sxs do to us!

Yes I agree with you, it's beyond weird that these thoughts still torture us. The thoughts are so ridiculous too. My brain really does believe them, even though deep down I somehow know that they aren't the real me.

 

I usually have them in the morning and afternoon. Once my window appears in the evening, they dissappear. I'm 17 months off. How are you doing??

wake up... ears ringing but.... so glad for another day of life... So glad I am not in acute anymore... So grateful I get another chance to do some good possibly. My mouth is dry. VERY dry... It's affected my teeth. So.. Drink water...

 

I am past the waves, and now my symptoms are ears ringing tinnitus and a little bit of brain fog once in a while...

 

Time and a positive mind heal... You will get there. We all do...

That's good you get a break from them in the evenings. What % would you say you're healed?

 

I'm still doing poorly, trudging along everyday with both mental and a lotta physical sxs. I think some of it's improving but SUUUUPER slowly... Like slower than a snail's pace. I do get partial windows from the physical sxs but not from the mental sxs (I always have thoughts and looping music in my head 24/7). I feel f***in crazy! I am almost 8 months out and I'm definitely not gonna heal within a year .... Sigh

I'm sorry you are still struggling with these horrid metal and physical symptoms. I really don't know what percentage to rate myself. I'm all over the place....

 

SunnyG...I have a really dry mouth too! It's so weird.  :idiot:

Same here .... My sxs are cycling back n forth and morphing that I can't put an exact % of how much I'm healing. I'd say I'm probably 5-10% better at most  :( today I woke up with this awful tingling, skin crawling, hypersensitive pain all over my body with looping music, anxiety, burning in hands, and tinnitus. Damn this hell.

 

I also have dry mouth too especially in mornings. I noticed my nasal cavity has stopped producing mucus and is very dry too. This has gone on since the day I jumped. I don't understand this b.s.

I literally have the same symptoms you have....hypersensitive pain, skin crawling/nerve pain, tingling, looping thoughts, anxiety, floaters, random tinnitus, burning in back of head, muscle pain in upper back, depression, DP, DR and the list goes on.

 

It really is hard to think that I'm healing when I have waves that are this intense. I just don't understand this hell either. At least I know there is someone out there that is going through pretty much the same thing as me. It makes me feel better. Just keep pushing through. We can do this! :)
