    Does anyone find themselves feeling "out of sorts" around day 3-5? Not sure how to explain it. It's not quite anxious....sort of restless....like you can't figure out what to do but you feel like you should be doing something?

    I know this is about the time our minds begin to clear from the fog so maybe that has something to do with it.

    Thoughts?

    Disruption of any life routine can make one feel like this. Vacations can be like that: What day is it? What am I supposed to be doing? Shouldn't I be checking email...?

    So a lot of it is down to that. Simple disruption.

    Then you have the withdrawal on top of it, the absence of stimulation, the absence of that activity to fill your time. The absence of the familiar dopamine ebb and flow.

    So I would say just hang in there. It's going to be uncomfortable at best. Think about new patterns of activity you want to establish. You may be able to do some of that activity, but go easy. It's not like train track that you just throw the switch and you're off in a completely different direction. You're actually building that new track while you're trying to get moving on it at the same time.
