Depression, boredom and recovery
20 days in and still hanging strong. Need some help and guidance on a few things though...
This week has been the roller coaster ride from hell. I am past most of the physical symptoms of withdrawal, although I'm still working at the anxiety. I suppose I was using alcohol in medicate this for quite some time and I'm now forced to deal with it. It's a process... But the symptoms from hell have passed. I thought getting through that would be the hard part, but I'm now dealing with depression and total boredom. I am trying to fill my days with things I thought would make me happy, all which I'm just bored with. I keep thinking to myself how fun it was when I was drinking... I guess my AV is still stronger than I thought.
My husband has made comments about me being different, down and quiet. I just can't help it. No matter how much I try, I can't find pleasure in any of the things I once did. Is this normal? Has anyone else gone through this? I'm just not sure where to go from here.
