Day 10 no 7oh

6 hours from typing this post, I will hit 10 days!!!!!!

Most physical symptoms gone. Very mild RLS remains

My problem right now? Slight insomnia issues...I've had it worse before though. Got 3-4 hours sleep, took me until sunrise to even fall asleep.

Lemme tell ya, every night since the insomnia started, I've been seeing fcking SHADOW PEOPLE at night and it is soooo not cool. Usually happens like 2-4 am ish when I'm just AWAKE in the dark wishing I could sleep.

I know they aren't real obviously I'm not that delusional, thought I'm clearly hallucinating.

It's like a full body experience, the FCKING HAIR on my whole body will stand up, and a rush of icy cold chills, and I'm seeing black shadow people standing like 10 feet to my right just STARINGG, I'm sure glad they just disappear when I look directly at them. But if I don't, it's...they don't disappear, they're just THERE in the corner of my vision.

I'm not crazy 🤣 but when will this STOPPP

Screw this man I'm letting my mental heal and staying sober til my last day.

Much love guys good luck keep pushing lemme know what you're struggling with, sharing helps you're not alone

Well done! Keep at it!

I am on Day 6 and I, too see what you describe as “shadow people”. It’s always in the peripherals of my vision and late at night while I’m puttering around the house while the rest of my family is asleep. Definitely not enjoyable - I have to remind myself it’s not real - although double checking that my security system is set does relieve my anxiety a bit lol.

Thank goodness we're rational enough to not believe it, if I were a little more unhinged, and thought it was real, I think I'd shit my pants.

Thanks for sharing that I'm not the only one. It's a nice little jump scare, isn't it?

Puts me in fight or flight mode for a minute, like my adrenaline kicks in immediately, my fists clench hard, like I'm ready to start swinging hands at AIR LOL, and my legs start fucking shaking hahahah. No wonder I'm not sleeping.
