I’m so impressed with your dedication. Big huge back pats to you!
Sorry to hear about the voices. I was thinking the withdrawal might be aggravating your mental health. I’ve seen “normal” people have quasi psychosis during withdrawal. It can be pretty intense.
I’m glad you communicated that to your nurse.
Sounds like you’re doing everything right! |
Yes I’ve read that alcohol withdrawal can cause psychosis even in those who are otherwise healthy. Also obviously the stress and stuff associated with it can make things worse too regardless.
I didn’t think I’m far enough along for that sort of thing yet, but I guess even cutting back is having an effect.
I just hope it doesn’t get worse. The main thing is I’m taking it slowly and going to my appointments regularly. Weekly for now.
We actually talked more about my mental health than alcohol at my last appointment.
