These pills lure you in. We never start taking them thinking this will happen and then you’re addicted and already stuck in the cycle before you realise what’s happening so don’t feel bad. Sleep is awful for awhile but shortly you’ll start getting more. It just takes a few weeks to properly settle but even 4/5 hours a night is great after that first week! The crying is also normal. On day 8, I cried all day long! It’s hard on the brain to figure out where all this dopamine it’s used to getting has gone! Although you can’t eat, just try and make sure you drink plenty. Honestly, take it day by day and things get better. You are def nearly through the worst of it. If you ever need more support, we’re always here! X
