Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I have been a drug addict for three years, and have been on suboxune for 4 months (8mg a day).
I owe money at my doctor, so i have a 2 week gap of getting a new script. I am going on my 4th day of not having it.
I feel at an extreme high, anxiety, I keep withdrawaling, and its getting worse each day. I barely slept, I just finally ate some bread because of fear of passing out.
My councilor tells me its going to be hell, and he wouldn't be mad if I decided to take the suboxin again. i have 4 left.. I am at a all time low mentality, depression. and keep breaking down 4-5 times a day, I have so much guilt for getting into all of this, i just want to move on with my life.
But i can barely type, walk, and eat/sleep. i wouldnt mind falling a sleep for a long time... if you know what i mean.
I dont know what to do. I know i want to take it, I am always outgoing and so motivated on it. but everyone i know looks down at it. my gf, my mom and dad. they never did anything thier whole life. they dont understand.

I don't have a lot of experience, but you may want to Google the Thomas recipe. It's apparently a tried-and-true way to help withdrawal symptoms. Mostly the physical aspects though. The anxiety and depression are going to be a battle. Exercise can be helpful with this, if you don't already. You may want to talk to your counselor for a referral to talk about an anxiety med to get you over the hump as well.
The best advice I can give in any situation dealing with depression and anxiety is to try and keep your mind focused on other things. Organize your closet. Call a friend. Run around the block. Knit. Wash the car. Go see a movie. Just keep your brain engaged with something besides how awful you feel. I have no doubt that your withdrawal has caused some very intense feelings of sadness and anxiety.
You can do this. You can. I'm cheering for you.
As far as the guilt goes, you're making positive changes try to focus on that and be proud of what you're doing. You deserve to feel good about making these difficult changes. Hang in there and know you're not alone!
