Hang in there.
Maybe thereĀ“s some activity you can do to take your mind out of that place for a while and get back on track.
ItĀ“s good you came in to look for some support. We are all in this together
Stay strong

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.

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.

Not sure if it helps but I relate and for me ā¦ this time around ā¦ I showered every time I felt that way. Mostly because it was all I could do. It helped tremendously though. Try to focus your negative thoughts. Even if u feel like shit and the world is caving in on u. Itās getting better right now. Itās better. I am doing this ! I got this! Say what u wish it was. I am strong Iām doing this etc . Even when it feels stupid and worthless. When I showered I just just listened to the water. Felt the water touch me instead of feeling the water. Just tried to take my feelings and feel differently. Look on the outside or the end of the feeling. If that makes any sense. Like touching my sweater instead of thinking about what it felt touching me I thought about what it felt to feel touch it. It kept my mind busier. Focus the thoughts and feelings. Itās not as easy as it sounds but once u start making it a habit it could make a positive impact. I also started looking up positive things to watch and listen to instead of the usual darknesss I loved horror and crime shows. I still watch them but then and at those moments I tried what I usually wouldnāt and alot of it was helpful I hope it can help u too. I looked up things to eat to boost my moods. I started just taking more time to breathe . Even when I have no time because Iām a single mom of a special needs daughter and a son. I never have time. I really hope some of this helps u. I also believe in u and I know u can do it !

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.

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!!!
