Hi Stacey and Jonathan! I’m on Day 11, and I can promise you, you WILL get better. It takes a while, I won’t lie to you. It’s difficult, scary and unpleasant, but the thought of going back on the damn things and doing it all over again is more so.
Try to rest when you can. Watch something non-taxing and funny. Cartoons are good! Sip some soup (as Casey told me!), try a tiny bit of exercise, baths, reading? Good luck both xx
Thanks Casey! It’s a big relief not to have to do that anymore!!
Morning all! Hope everyone is doing well.
I’m on Day 9 today, after 8 months of mega-abusing Nurofen Plus. Does anyone know when the morning dread starts to ease? I’m also experiencing anxiety through the day, I’m not interested in anything, I’m not hungry, and my tummy is terrible. This isn’t the first time I’ve done this, but I’ve never reached out to others before.
I can’t help but withdraw (ha!) from my family and friends, even though I hate being alone. Just so damn sad! Which is ridiculous, because the codeine high lasted about 20 minutes, and the rest of the time was spent frantically trying to pharmacy shop, lying to everyone, borrowing money when mine inevitably ran out. Ugh. I just can’t see the light right now.
