FindingDawn, the best way to describe how I felt in the first couple weeks of sobriety is that I walked around feeling like I had my finger in an electrical outlet. Very much crawling out of my skin, walking in circles trying to find out what to do with myself, and full of anxiety. I had nervous energy, but not the kind of energy I could use to clean out a closet or anything like that lol. I've become more or less "back to normal" and I am on anti anxiety and anti depression meds. Hope you find the help you need, and high five on the kids getting back to school. My kids start Sept 7th. CANT WAIT
