Hey Ange, I'm 16 days too! I've been through--and still working through for sure--tons of strange stuff. I've never had a panic attack in my life until last week. I had to pull the car over, thought my heart was going to explode, started sweating, felt like the world was shrinking in on me, started thinking about what my kids were going to do without a dad, thought I was croaking right there at a stop light. I pulled over and walked a bit until I felt okay to drive. And like I said, I've never had a panic attack until I stopped drinking. And sometimes within one day, I'll go from euphoric to heavy, sluggish, void of motivation--basically depressed. So, I just wanted to convey that, some of the anxiety and depression does come with the territory. However, as many here confirm, always see your doc. if things get too scary or if you have significant worries. Stay strong, stay positive.
