Why am i so sad?

I leave rehab tomorrow and i have a mixture of emotions. I am happy, proud and grateful to my higher power that i finally finished rehab, but in the same breath I am sad, anxious and crying over leaving.

Its honestly so confusing to me right now and i don't understand why. I should just be happy and proud of myself about this accomplishment, but I'm just so sad.

Has anyone experienced this that can help me through this?

I never went to rehab, but I get that the feeling of community and safety is comforting, so maybe this is a back of the mind thing. Good luck :+1:

Hey Brittany that's totally normal I was sad when I left rehab too because you have to make all new connections again and the girls you bonded with probably won't keep in touch plus the real world is scary it's all on you now... The good thing is your not alone... Keep reaching out and congratulations on completing treatment

I went through the same thing I was proud of my accomplishments but scared to leave the safety net of the rehab I went to but just remember the tools they instilled in you trust yourself and your higher power and you'll be okay I'm proud of you :muscle:t4::black_heart:
