This is the worst day of my life. Is there anything to make it easier
I have self-detoxed myself a few times. It is not fun. The last time that I tried I went 4 days and thought that I was out of the woods. Ha...on the 5 day I went into full DT's or had a psychotic break. It is hard to tell the difference. I thought that I was dead and everyone that I knew was dead. A friend came by to check on me and I was out of my mind. I did not even know what country I was in. Please take your friends advice and go to the ER. They will re-hydrate you, feed you the necassary balanced diet that is so important. Avoid the torture of self-detox.
