You’re doing great! For me, it was never unbearable. Withdrawal was no picnic but there wasn’t anything I couldn’t handle one moment at a time. Keep taking hot showers and baths, it’s a miracle cure. Have you listened to some music yet? If you want to help your endorphins get going on their own, just play some of your favorite music. I don’t know how I would have gotten through my detox without it. Advil helps take the edge off too. Stay hydrated. You’ll get through this.
You’ve got this.
Edit to add:
I’m sorry, I just saw your second to last post. You are definitely going through one of the tougher moments of this process. Suicidal thoughts are no joke so I hope you will seek help if you feel like it gets too much to bear but depression in general, is a normal symptom. I had really low moments and then not so bad moments and then moments where I felt like I could conquer anything. Try to ride the ups and downs knowing that neither will last very long. You should even out after a little while. Hang in there, you’re not alone. We’re all here.
