Let those feelings come and pass naturally. You are on the road to full life recovery… feeling the feels is gonna be something you’re not used to. Your brain chemistry is beginning to stabalize. Most importantly, understand that this all normal. Best wishes to you my friend, reach out anytime.

Hey @Dave0161–congrats on day 25 holy cow! I’m so sorry you’re in such a dark place, but know that there’s much ahead of you. I personally have been under the care of a psychiatrist for almost 10 years and I’ve never regretted that move. But everyone is different and that’s a personal decision whether to seek care like that out. But I would say keep talking, keep reaching out, talk to those you trust, maybe even talk to a therapist if that’s a possibility. But definitely don’t do this alone. I’ve done that for a long time and it’s probably 1000x harder that way. I’m glad you reached out today and were vulnerable—know that you’re not alone in your feelings.

I fewl all has been said that I would say as well. These are meant to be felt, men arent allowed to show these feelings and even as women crying all the time can feel downright shameful. Like we weak, or cant get it togrther.
I hope youre able to give yourself some grace here and huge fucking pat on the back!! You are doing an amazing thing. These feelings are part of the hard part of healing, and if they do not seem to resolve with time…then you can start thinking of any next steps you may want to take (i.e., therapy, talking to a health care provider, work in a specific area, etc.), if you arent already exploring those.
Its a wild ride and we pick up new tools as we go. I second drinking lots of water & eating good food. Exercise, well i hear its great but I wont go preaching that because I haventvbeen doing it 
keep it up, youre doing hard work & dont you forget it. Xo.

Welcome Dave and congratulations on 28 days.
I’m on day 8 today. Yesterday and the day before was one of those dark days. Nothing went well even at work. We need to keep pushing through because it can’t rain forever. Today is looking a lot better for me and I hope I goes the same for you
