He Laura.
I’m sorry you’re feeling so low and shitty.
I know the Holidays are tough but that doesn’t help how you feel at all. That’s sounds like a lot of rotten stuff you are going through. And a headache too.
You know it’s a pretty big deal making it through the Holidays sober. You got that to be grateful for. It’s tough to find gratitude with a headache. I’ve tried. But there must be some other things you can find to be grateful for. Try listing ten over on our gratitude thread. Or read others.
It sounds like you had good loving parents that you miss terribly.
I use to take a lot of hot showers and cry myself out for 20-30 minutes. I’d be so exhausted and then I’d go to bed. Or cook a nice meal. Drink some water. I know it’s cliche but this too will pass. ODAAT.
Do you have a friend you can call?
I’m so sorry you have a splitting headache. It’s probably hard to concentrate on anything I’m telling you.
How bout get some water. And get a real hot shower in. Or maybe an ice pack.
