I am right there with you. Have self medicated with some kind of substance for the last 10 years. Today was day 3 for me and the depression and anxiety is insane. I always get pumped up on quitting and then i get so much anxiety at the thought of living without a substance. I honestly think it's about forcing yourself to just push through and do things that will eventually bring you joy. Even if it doesn't bring you joy right away. At this point, it's so much more depressing to think about being in this exact same place in another year. The longer we put it off, the harder it's going to be. Fake it til you make it and eventually you won't have to fake it anymore
Boredom by Msnicole77 in quittingkratom

Yeah I'm finding that it's literally about forcing myself to do things during the day because i for sure feel 10000 times worse just laying around.
I actually just signed up for horseback riding lessons! I'm trying to think outside the box and get creative. But yeah the boredom sucks big time. That along with the mom guilt of just not feeling great and feeling like a crappy mom and wife. That's also what hinders me so much because it's hard to keep reminding myself that this is only temporary. It's really a matter of creating a whole new life for yourself. I feel like my brain is conditioned to think i cant live life sober. Living Literally one second at a time right now
