I Know Your Mind Was Wrecked But What About Your Body? Your Health? Your Looks?

Yes Finding,

I had 2 panic attacks in the street, just had to get home as quick as possible, paranoia, anxiety, fluctuating emotions. Never had them before, wow. They really do tag you with their crazy, I couldn't work properly for 2 months just eaten up. This is a small taste of how they feel, about themselves and the world, it's just hell... .good.

Changingman,

Panic attacks are no fun, hope yours have gone away as well! I almost feel that reading about anxiety got me to have them. I was anxious and my OCD (checking if oven on, checking food if cooked properly etc) got worse when I was in the relationship with my EX Boyfriend. My sleeping wasn't great either, because he had insomnia at times, so I would stay up with him sometimes to be with him. Not sure if insomnia is part of being in recovery from alcohol?  I sleep well now, I just stay up to late at times. : )

Yes they went, just 2. The first 3 weeks when  I could still feel the madness. Now just mild depression, and anger. But getting better.

I am heart broken, sad, and is disrepair BUT... I look GREAT!

I lost a lot of weight, I got more energy, I have a social life. It is kinda weird to feel bad then life is getting better.

For me the same... .is a total paradox... .now i go out to hangout with friends often again,i found again the will and the pleasure to stay with people and have fun,laugh,do things... .and i look better too,definitely... .the paradox is that even if i have definitely a more healty life,more activities and chances to meet people,more fun... .i feel always sad... .i'm always smiling... .and always feeling an inconsolable deep sadness.crazy.
