Hi CB. I hope things have eased up a little for you. I too went cold turkey several times and the last (I pray) time was a whole kind of new hell. My fear of the docs due to being on the radar of social services a few years ago kept me away from the docs. Symptoms ranged from terrible nausia and diaorriah to chronic anxiety, racing heartrate and utter lethargy, confusion and light headed. I could go on. I wasn't alone my partner monitored me. Point being it is very dangerous and I was taking a massive risk with my health. Firstly confiding in your parents is a good first step. Can you go stay with them for a week? Secondly the only truly safe way to detox is under medical supervision. My story is mild I've heard a lot lot worse. Please take care, hydrate, rest and consider a trip to the docs. On the positive side work on your thoughts friend. Make this the last time you have to go through this!
