I get the ear ringing with headaches all the time. I’ve just been pushing through I actually have some chamomile tea in my cabinet that I might try to just relax me. I’m definitely going hard mode after today for damn sure.
Give it a try. I still can't believe this withdrawal stuff. If you would have told me last year that this could suck this bad, I would have laughed. Try the tea, and deep breathing...
Chamomile tea helped a little bit last night. Did you receive your blanket yet? Mine has been working great lately. Even with my withdrawal symptoms getting worse.
No blanky! They had some kind of shipping glitch. Next werk sometime. Haven't had an attack for 2 days now so I'm handling it. I didn't sleep for shit, my 6 year old went running, loudly, down the hallway last night at 4am, so I got 5 hours. I'm also a bit on edge right now because my best friend, retired cop, is finding out if the baseball sized lump in his right lung is cancer or not today. I lost my whole family, mother father sister in the last couple of years, along with 3 friends, sk it's been a stressful bitch of a 3 years. Sorry you're hating life right now. There HAS to be an end to all this. Stay strong, man.
Stay strong as well. Although I’ve been having panic attacks all day these feelings are only temporary. We’ll all get through this and we can all rely on each other.
Really sorry you're going through it right now. I did 11 days straight, so these last 2 days with lowered anxiety have been a needed break. I still have really bad insomnia, so I'm waiting for a break, here. Are you having insomnia right now, too?
I am it’s not the falling asleep part of insomnia. I can fall asleep right after work at 9pm but I always wake up around 2-3 o’clock and am up till the morning.
That blows. I'm in a 2 hours asleep, then awake, 2 hours asleep... all night. I almost always fall right back to sleep but it still wears me down. Did you find a paperback book. Try stopping all electronics an hour before, too. It helps.
I used to have a similar shitty sleep schedule to that. It’s most likely us going through withdrawal symptoms and are brains constantly wanting to be stimulated no matter what time
Only got 5 hours of sleep last night. Going to be a crappy day. I'm still going to fight the good fight. I KNOW this has to end at some point. Just going to take it easy today.
I think I got 6.5-7 hours last night. Some chunks were only 45 minutes, but that's the way it goes. Met with my counselor yesterday and she reiterated that this is all in my head. It is, but sometimes it feels like the anxiety is winning. I've been 3 days now with it under control. Little twinges but nothing more. I want to keep this streak going. Hope you're doing better. Oh, yeah, had my 1st, EVER, weird porn-ish dream last night. WTF was that about! Just kind of weird.
Hard mode has been kicking my ass lately. Sometimes me and the misses can’t stay off of each other. I haven’t relapsed and masturbated or looked at porn which is good but my libido has been insanely high. As for the anxiety and withdrawal symptoms, the just keep fluctuating but my therapist helps a lot with those symptoms. Hope all is going well!
Until I started to take medication it was very much the same, I was waking up every 30 minutes or even more frequently. Usually I feel sleepy during the day, fall asleep very quick, but used to wake up very frequently during the night. It was really annoying. I had frequent sex dreams, even porn nightmares, but they somehow dissappeared the last few weeks. These dreams are part of withdrawals I think.
