Getting through withdrawals

I’m 3 days in and have stopped drinking and drugs. I have major depression and anxiety. Was so sick, now just shaky hands and completely uninterested in my hobbies even. And really frustrated and irrated at even the slightest thing my parents do . What’s the point if meds don’t work and your miserable and bored without alcohol?

Hello Walking

Welcome and good on you for having the strength to post too!

I understand what you are going through with the anxiety/depression. It can be a crippling set of symptoms to have. I used to have chronic anxiety for approx 15 years which was followed by depression...all up 35 years..ugh

May I ask if you have a GP/Counselor that you can lean on (frequently) ?

The super frequent counseling is a huge bonus to help us help ourselves. Self medicating with alcohol is very common yet the counseling will help us more

Great to have you on the forums Walking 🙂

You are not alone

My kind thoughts
