I keep hearing that people who have left the facility have relapsed. This simply reminds me that it isn't necessarily a good idea to stay in touch with other former patients.

or go back into society at large without a plan?

Everyone on the programme here is supposed to devise a recovery plan, whether they stick to them is another matter.

They've upped my Effexor dose to 150mg.

Grats on six weeks, sort

No motivation. No motivation to even do the AA Zoom meetings which don't take much effort. I felt better in my first week sober when I was 'pink clouding', albeit briefly. Signed up for an external hospital walk then dropped out (it was cancelled anyway due to rain so I didn't feel so guilty).

Could be PAWs symptoms.

I think it is PTSD and social
anxiety.

I'm not ready to leave here. If I'm discharged this week will book into hotel get some Valium and end it. 46 years, it's been a good innings.

I mainly want to die.

Is there someone there in rehab that you can talk to about how you're feeling, Sort?
a doctor or counsellor?

Can you ring a crisis line? (there are international links here)

I think it's probably common to be scared and fearful coming out of a safe place like rehab back into the world - I'd expect rehab staff see it all the time.

Ask for help man.

sortofhomecomin

They've agreed I can stay for the time being and have put me on Seroquel. Quite spaced out.

Dee74

I'm glad you talked to someone

That is a relief sortofhomecomin. I was really fretting for you. Please stay with us. I'm glad you reached out for help. What you are feeling is something that I suspect your health care providers are very accustomed to and please continue to let them help you. Hang in there and keep posting if you can.
