2 weeks and still crazy
I am two weeks sober and I'm still absolutely insane. I have depression anxiety and PTSD. I'm also the worst hypochondriac I've ever met. I can't stop thinking about worst-case scenario things. I am almost paralyzed with fear. I thought about drinking today, but I called my sponsor trying to keep my head together. I don't know how to do this. I just don't want to die. I don't want to be this crazy. I want to feel that there is hope instead of tragedy. The thoughts I am having are so horrible. I can't cope.

Hi Lscotty.
Congrats on 2 weeks
Have you considered getting professional help with these issues you mention? I started therapy a couple months sober and it helped tremendously in a few ways. One of these was actually convincing me that I wasn't really crazy, just had some problems that needed to be addressed.
I think calling your sponsor was a great reaction and also posting here. Hang in there.
EDIT: Just saw your other thread. Do go to the ER if you feel like it, it can be very helpful to just getting checked out and talking to someone. I also visited the ER a couple times thinking I was going insane; I wasn't.
