Lately ive been an emotional wreck. Cant stop getting angry then crying then happy then repeat. I feel like im losing my mind. Before i drank and smoked pot to hide from the pain of being alone or pain in a relationship or past pain. I could stifle it down. Now im like a little toddler constantly throwing tantrums when things don’t go my way. Any tips besides just calling my sponsor and friends and working the steps? I also have a counselor so that helps a little bit.

Emotions run strong in recovery. Like you said, numbing them only suppressed them. It really sucks to feel everything at once. Do you journal? It helps me a bit. Also, picking up some hobbies helps, too. I hope you get through this sorry I didn't help much. I'm still new to it all myself lol
You reminded me to take my meds. I only feel like I need them when I forget to take them. It's a slippery slope.
