So sorry you are feeling bad. If you have taken your meds, then it may sound like blase advice, but it is not meant that way, how about trying a guided meditation on YouTube? Something for calmness, peace, etc? How about a bath? How about putting some music on and cleaning / baking? Watch something on Netflix, preferably something calming or nostalgic?

Just take it a second and a minute at a time. Think how good youāll feel when you wake up tomorrow at 14 days.
Thereās a meditation thread here thst could be helpful to you.
Iāll look for the thread.

For what itās worth, I think youāre doing amazing. Feeling the way you describe, but so many actions in place to make yourself feel better. You sound courageous and determined. I think your one day at a time will get better every day.

I refer to that feeling as āsquirrellyā. It isnāt fun. But, as others have said staying busy with anything will help. (It never occurred to me to take a showerā¦ Iām going to try that).
But if you need someone to talk to Iāll be up for a couple more hours.

Thanks brother 
Iām feeling that too. Hang in there, we got this!!! Always know that even though it seems like it at times that you are not alone. I was diagnosed as bipolar as well as having PTSD over 15 years ago and some days are absolutely overwhelming uuuuugh. Weāve got a strong community here that wants us all to succeed and Iām proud of you for reaching out for support!

I get that!!! Having a million thoughts at once and an emotional rollercoaster going on simultaneously along with PTSD and being sober is wellā¦we are AMAZING multitaskers to sum it up and to say the least!!! 
Some days taking the right steps seems pretty weird after being used to dancing along with the wrong steps but itās so empowering to take your life back. Again, I am so proud of you, and everyone else here rocking this!!!
