NurseAddy Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 On day 6 and I don’t remember the depression being so prominent. Feels like I have a pit in my stomach, along with anxiety, apathy and depression. Hoping for some advice. When does this subside and is there anything you’ve done to help combat it in the meantime? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 @NurseAddy I weirdly remember Day 6 because I felt the same way that day. My day 6 fell on a Sunday too and I felt super depressed and anxious....honestly I felt like complete crap. You're in the thick of it right now, just hang in there. The last 2 weeks for me have been going quite well but the first 30 days were solely about doing nothing except getting thru work and putting time between myself and my last adderall. I know that wasn't much advice but just a reminder that things will get better... -Day 48 and optimistic about life again 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurseAddy Posted September 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 @eric Honestly, I just appreciated the reply as it can get quite lonely fighting an internal battle. It’s nice to hear from someone who’s been there and done that. Even if it is the brutal truth. I’ll take it. So thank you. Congrats to 48 days! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 @NurseAddy CONGRATS ON 1 WEEK DOWN TODAY!!! Hope your having a good day. For a stressful Monday, I'm performing better than I have in years (even when I was on meds). So again just hang in there and realize that stimulants may help a lot in the short term but they screw you over from real happiness in the long run. Good luck and congrats!! - Currently Day 49 :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurseAddy Posted September 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 @eric Thank you! I appreciate you stopping by, it’s definitely feeling like a ‘Monday’ on this end. I’m glad to know it gets better though! Again, appreciate you stopping by! Congrats to ALMOST 50 days! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
