Day 42 aka 6 weeks

Boom just like that, 6 weeks down! Current “stage” is daily mood swings. Most days are good but then there are some where I just want to lay in bed in a dark room. Luckily, the bad days seem to be coming less and less. I know instantly when I wake up what kind of a day it’s going to be. Today is a good day

That is amazing Vinny. I have relayed your story more than once to my in-real-life support group. Back from the brink man. Proud of you.

42 may be a bigger number than 6, but 6 "weeks" is easier for me to comprehend. I can actually picture 6 weeks in my mind, if that makes sense. But I don't have a mental visualization for 42 days.

Six weeks is solid. I've always felt, although apparently inaccurately, that if you can do 6 weeks, you can do 50 years. Congratulations.

Awesome! ups and downs were def a big part of early recovery for me, and honestly the first yr-ish. They evened out to be what felt like good weeks not just days, w/ occasional bad...so like a normal person!

Keep going.
