Anxious at rehab

Recovery
#1

I don’t like feeling my feelings. I’m at rehab. I need encouragement or advice for social anxiety.

I know it’s not easy and words can only do so much. But remember why you’re there and that you are loved and we need you!
Much love! :pray::heart:

It’s not going to be comfortable but you are in a safe place to feel it. Rehab was the turning point I needed. Allow yourself to be open and vulernable even if it’s scary or weird. Your future self is going to be so proud! Rooting for you :white_heart::white_heart:

It’s so true we are. Why am I having a hard time with this thought?

My first few days i stayed in my shell. It wasn’t fun. I forced myself to speak up after that and once i did i was able to fully embrace why i was there and the experience i needed myself to have. I’m usually a very closed in person but i knew if i was gonna get anything out of my time there i was gonna have to open up. It’s worth it.

Haha, ok ok you dodged it for now :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: but I promise you being vulnerable leads to a freedom you can’t achieve from holding it in. Nonetheless it’s badass you are in there to begin with :muscle: :raised_hands::white_heart:
I hope you feel better soon :pray:t3:

It’s going to be uncomfortable- change can be uncomfortable and the situation can be hard to except, it’s serious you’re their with a lot of different people with different personalities - know that and focus on your program. I wish I had something better to say.

Thanks Jessica, yea you’re right it is alot of different personalities. I have a hard time focusing in general so makes it hard but it is funny how just before this I posted the original post and I “got” what I wanted lol. Isolation. Because in Toronto it’s still a thing to have Covid :smirk:lol oh wells. Thank you

When I went I had to have my own room because I sleep walk - it was nice, real nice. Are you there voluntarily?

#19

Oh wow … yeah that is nice you got your own room due to sleep walking.:slight_smile: yeah I am here voluntarily and came 2 days ago. I’m alone in my own nice room and will isolate they say until it’s gone but it’s funny because I wanted to isolate already lol

I went voluntarily too. I wasn’t making good decisions and these ppl (rehab) said they had the tools for me to help so it was educational to me and the tools helped. I’m 17 months on the 1st. I said I’m one and done and so far so good.
