Hello everyone. This is my first post on the site. About 1 month ago, I overextended myself, and after a 4 day stint of complete exhaustion, I began to have anxiety symptoms. I read the symptom chart and at one time or another, I could relate to almost all of them.

The most uncomfortable was the irrational thoughts and fears that crept up. This has been the most troubling for me. I now understand it is part of the symptom of anxiety in the recovery process, but does anyone have any idea how long this symptom goes on?

I am seeing a counselor, and have made significant life changes to address my stress. I have been and adreniline junkie for many years and thrived on challenge and doing things. It is obvious, my body begs to differ.

Anyway, I am looking forward to any and all support from all of you and will give my input as well as I move forward in my journey of recovery.

Hi Don,

welcome to NMP...Im sure you'l find the information and support on here helpful.

As to recovery, everyone is very different in terms of their own recovery...what helps, timescales etc so the best advice I can give is take your own time and see what works for you...there are lots of useful tips and advice on here though.

Good luck
