The insomnia was really strange for me at first, sleeping only a couple of hours at a time at night. The sleep was not very restful because my body was starting to panic. On the other hand, my mind welcomed this along with the headache and queasiness, because I knew it meant that my body was on its way back to where it should be. I stayed hydrated and slowly started to eat light meals again.
At three days, things started to settle down. After a week, the sleep was incredible, sound and restful. My depression and anxiety started to lift to be replaced with optimism and confidence in my will to see this through. Stay the course, and you will never have to feel this cr@ppy again.
