Low
Low tonight.
In the house on my own, seen doc this morning, been on anti depressant for 10 days now not in a good place right at this moment. Feel like I can't see a way through the fog of being so down and miserable.
Is it even depression? I have no idea, it could be anything, all I know is that a task as simple as using the toilet is a monumental effort.

I understand Stewy84, I have been having problems with feeling low too. I do know that it does pass though! We just have to tredge through this seemingly bottomless and hopeless feeling. I am about to force myself to a little workout because that usually helps. Something about getting the blood flowing.
Whatever you do just don't go back to the intoxication. This is a hard journey but the only path to being happy with life. Using these forums is such a wonderful tool. I look forward to seeing how the next few months go for you. How long have you been sober for?

Me too Stewy. I know that feeling very well. The anti-depressants are the best medication you can take for feeling down. It's the most effective way to combat the problem in the long term. The short-term excitement of picking up seems to alleviate the problem briefly, o so briefly, but we know the suffering just comes roaring back 2fold after the vapors evaporate. You're not alone my friend. Sleep as much as your body wants, it's healing.
(((Stewy)))) I have a lot of respect for you. Just hang in there. Try to get I a little exercise in the mornings, even just a short walk out in the natural light. Try to stay on a good schedule. For me, I needed a lot of structure in the early days. hated it. But I stuck to the plan and one day I caught myself, humming and singing in the kitchen while I cleaned up. It shocked me!

If getting some sleep helps, do that! Sorry you're low right now but try to remind yourself that every day on the green side of the grass is a good one. There's hope, always.
I hope the anti ds will kick in soon Stewey - and keep up the self care whoever hard it might be - shower shave, take a walk, clean the house.
It really will help

Rest during this time is a good thing. Don't feel guilty for taking care of yourself. A lot of us are feeling blue at this time.
