Feeling Weird

Had the day off today and I've been feeling this off and on but the last few days, it's been a lot more pronounced.

I'm feeling mentally uncomfortable, i guess you could say. Not myself at all.

Just lost.... and no energy. I thought i was getting sick at work yesterday because about half way thru the day i just completely ran out of gas. It was all i could do to complete my shift.

I thought i was hungry so i ate and that just made it worse. I don't know if this is normal at 48 days. Seems like when i was researching suboxone withdrawals, people were taking a lot about depression and lethargy.

I don't feel depressed. Just tired and lost.

Sleep is a little hard to come by but I'm getting by. I'm eating very healthy. Maybe normal for early recovery?

Certainly could still be withdrawal related, we all have "down" days too. See someone if it persists or worries you.

Very well put. I'm 62 days and coming off alcohol, but that's how I was this weekend... Just a bit... meh. Apathetic I guess. Or just... distanced from things. Not sure if we're feeling similarly since it's so hard to put my finger on it exactly, but if you're feeling what I'm feeling, I'm pretty sure what I'm feeling is withdrawal related.

Sorry to hear this, I do know that feeling- not depressed, just not right

Definitely try and get in with your doctor sooner if you are able. There is no need to suffer alone.
You might also try visiting a homeopathic pharmacy and asking about the Bach Flower remedies. I take one specifically formulated for "excessive worry" and another called "rescue remedy" which is for panic and general unease. I only take them as needed.
**********Please be aware that these are tinctures that are alcohol based. For me personally the alcohol does not trigger me and I consider myself sober still. It is something I need to stay calm and the alcohol intake is negligible considering I take 4-5 drops. But do be aware.
**********Also, be sure to run anything medicinal by your doctor- even homeopathic stuff- sometimes there can be interferences with other medications or a certain herb or vitamin might not be right for you based on any number of things.

thinking of you today Peanut, I hope you wake up to a brighter, better day.

Ralph Waldo Emerson has this to say to you Peanut:

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”
