I do feel for you 
Sometimes getting sober feels like a slap in face as apposed to floating around on a cloud of happiness.
Have you been to see a doctor? There may be a possibility you have depression, which is just coming to the surface now. From reading on here (and experience myself) depression/anxiety is often a cause of drinking heavily. Yes, drinking makes it worse, but it also covers up a lot of things that were there to begin with, and they can resurface. Have you ever felt like this before?
Also from reading on here, it's very common to feel a roller coaster of emotions when getting sober. I still think maybe a quick visit just to explain what you've being doing recently and how you feel wouldn't hurt one bit.
Good luck. I'm thinking of you and hoping this won't stall what could be the best thing you've done for yourself in many years.
