The Depression!!

[Amy777]

I'm starting Day 6 of oxycodone withdrawal and I have the worst crippling depression today!! Its awful! I feel like I'll never be happy again.

I'm eating, taking vitamins, taking my antidepressant but I feel like hell. I'm questioning my purpose, my faith, my life.

You will get to a more joyous place. I know this does not help much when you feel like shit, because you want to kinda own the fact you feel like shit, which is a little odd when you think about it.

Anyways, I think it is important to remember that this too will pass. It is especially important to realise that thoughts, feeling, even the state of our physical bodies is always changing, transient, ever changing in one way or the other. I know being told this while withdrawaling in super early recovery does not seem like it is worth a damn. But if you can tr to be more mindful and work on becoming more aware of the transent nature of life, once you have learned to let go, you will be much happier.

Sounds normal unfortunately. Try to keep yourself distracted. Even a toothbrush housecleaning to good upbeat music can do wonders in letting the days pass until you naturally feel better. Best of luck. I've been there.
