Hi Guys... Time for another update.
It's now March and 2 full months after the initial incedent. I can quite proudly say that at the moment I'm 98% recovered. Most of the things that made my life a mysery have gone - the chest tightness is only here and there - everything else has gone :D
I've even worked my way back to caffeine - I can drink a cup of tea or two per day without feeling anxious. I get excited and get the Rushes down my neck, and as Runner said that used to trigger anxiety - now it is just normal feelings!
I'm as close to normal as I used to be, I reckon give it another month or two and I'll be 100%. Even if I never get back to 100% I'm happy where I am anyway, it's such a world apart from where I was just a month ago.
I put it all down to looking after myself, the brain's wonderful ability to heal itself, will power in believing that I will get better and a good combination of vitamins every day: A Good Multi-Vitamin, B Complex and Omega 3 have really done wonders on my road to recovery. That and some great advice from people on this board - I have to make special thanks to Runner2 and Velocidex for their help, you guys rock :D
I'll never be having Meth again, I know that one day perhaps I *may* be able to but I never want to risk going through what I did... 2 months coming down is just not worth it at all, especially when I have to face up to work every day, and at one stage I thought the anxiety would cost me my job Luckily, it didn't!
I just wanted to say thanks pretty much, I honestly though that there was no light at the end of the tunnel when I was at my worst, but I'm back from the dark side of Meth it's been a long journey - one that I'm glad is finally coming to an end
