You could be feeling the withdrawal symptoms. Even if you taper, you'll probably feel it a little.

Asking for support is a very strong thing to do. It is not at all weak. It feels like it because we let another person carry the heavy load for a while and it might have been something that you carried for so long that you don't know how to feel without it. I am not saying that this is what is happening to you, but I have experienced it.
