Thank you lynnmarie
I am glad I am sticking with it too, it just feels overwhelming at times.
I needed to hear this: Detox is going to take you all over the place. Lots of different emotions and feelings. Expect it and accept it. It will get better.
After I posted, I was trying to resize a picture to post as my fb profile and I started getting really frustrated, then I basically raged out, over a fb profile pic *eye roll*...thank goodness my cats were my only witnesses. Then I took a warm shower, to calm down. I felt significantly better afterwards. I think I needed to let it out, this pent up frustration. I'm not sure why but I feel so much more in control after this, and less anxious, more clear. Maybe I needed this to shake me out of the fear I was stuck in.
And, just yesterday I felt another wave of anxiety hitting me. I told myself "you are not powerless here. You aren't going to be pulled along for this ride helplessly. You know what to do." Then I went in the bedroom I was staying in, and did all the breathing etc. that normally calms me down. I got control of my head.
I am home today, and returned last night. This morning was really hard but I started forcing myself to do normal things like the dishes and cleaning around a bit. I also watched a movie. I seems to have helped.
As far as staying hydrated, I've been so thirsty these past few days. Did you also experience a lot of thirst?
