Palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy

@[in...], please! Don't get desperate and don't doubt that you're doing the right thing 🙏🏻 You absolutely are. It's just one of those moments that come for a while and then always go. The further, the fewer of them. It's true!

@[in...], i believe you. I just know it for myself. 

Believe in your body! It's wiser than us and will always do the right thing. It will always do what it really needs. Right now smth in your system is intensively healing and that's why you feel all the stress too much. I'm sure!

I think I've asked about this before. Here it comes again haha: 

Do you guys have any tips about tensed jaws/pressing teeth? (except mouth guards)

Day 136.

I think I slept for about 8 hours last night and I woke up feeling rested. This hasn't happened in a long time. Anyway...

I keep feeling really good during late nights. I find myself talking to people without any problems or hesitation.

Then comes the morning. Cortisol rushes for no apparent reason, and the feeling of stress pops up out of nowhere.

The late nights give me hope though. If I can feel that good during night time it simply means I can heal. I think... I hope 😊

I'm turning 40 tomorrow.

I'm nervous because people will want to take me out for food and so on. I can't handle being around too much people. 

What do I do about this? I'm thankful and all that, but... You all know about these things...

Tips/thoughts?

I had DJS and since then some of my jaw is numb..so it feels like "good" in a weird way to press my teeth together, I guess because it's giving it some kind of sensation/feeling. My surgeon suggested that I just become more mindful of it...ehh that works now and then but not really.

What really fixed it for me was when I thought I had cavities...turns out they were sensitive teeth, VERY sensitive, anyway...that's when it started to hurt when I'd press my teeth together, so I stopped.

[[in...]]

@[Sc...] You just stopped? What's the secret? Because I keep pressing automatically without thinking about it.

Start of day 137 without benzos. Today is also my 40th birthday. 

I don't want to be the "boring guy", but I woke up accompanied by an intensed cortisol rush so I'm trying to avoid people haha! As usual: I don't know how to relax. I'm going to try one of those more simple breathing exercises.

I wish you all a great day! Peace and love 💯🙏😊

Happy Birthday, @[in...] Withdrawal or not, it's a call for celebration, although not too loud yet, and good wishes!

I'm sure this day next year, full of calmness and health swimming in a friendly ocean or hiking in the Himalayas with friends or whatever, you'll look back at today in amazement and owe of your own strength, clever reasoning and determination! I just can see it and if i see, it comes true🙂

Good stuff! I've gotta lot of fatigue last couple of days i nearly passed out on the street this morning  Hoping it will pass as I've never had it before. Might be a bug as I'm congested etc. Any plans for the rest of the day or just take it easy?

I'm just taking it easy. Laying in bed just surfing the web. Trying to relax. I've moved so much today my back's killing me! Thinking about going for a short walk later maybe! 😀

You're amazing with being positive from the start in this. I know it's how you deal with stuff I'm kinda the same.. 

Just keep on brother.

The secret in my method is simple, and it goes a little sum' like this: If I build myself a solid foundation (with exercise and healthy habits) that means I'll be prepared and just keep going once I'll start healing for real! @[PE...]

Stay the course don’t give in.

@[PE...]yeah I heard ginger could help only problem is it appears that my head is causing most of it not the stomach so I’m not having much luck with any remedies at this point, just gutting it out hopefully it’ll go away before too long yeah it’s definitely the worst 3 AM to 12 PM for me i’m almost 4 months off at the end of this month with not much improvement hoping I’ll turn a corner soon. thanks for the tip so may I ask when did you turn a corner after jumping what month?

[[Pa...]]

I don't know what time zone you're in @[in...], but it looks like I missed your birthday so let me be the first to wish you a Happy Belated Birthday!
