I was all over the place emotionally for a while - probably a couple of months until things started to even out. I swung wildly between feeling elated to be waking up clear-headed and taking control of every day in a way I had long forgotten I knew how to do, and feeling sad, depressed, remorseful, embarrassed. Everything was amplified. Good and bad. I'd be laughing and enjoying myself one minute, and it seemed like the next minute something would hit me and I'd start to cry. As others have noted, I was also irritable. Lights were too bright, sounds were too loud, things were moving too fast. I would get easily overwhelmed and have to retreat to my bedroom and meditate or sleep. I slept a lot in the early days.
After a few months, everything started to even out and I felt almost "normal" emotionally and physically. Normal in quotes, because who knows what normal even is?
