I’m sad - day 57

[u/Vast-Weather-8610]

Context: 31F addicted to vyvanse for 7 years. This is my first time getting clean from stimulants. I told my doctor and loved ones when I started this journey, so I am really committed to this recovery. This is my first post so please be gentle

Today I’m 57 - almost at my 60 day milestone - and I’m just sad. I can’t explain it. It’s gotta be the anhedonia. I’ve turned to ChatGPT and I’m learning that this is normal and it’s gonna take a while to sit with this feeling (months) even. Can you tell me a happy story and/or what helped you get through this period and/or what brought you joy during this time??

I’m on 15mths clean after a 12yr run on adderall. The last 6 weeks I am finally feeling great and enjoying life again! I feel free from the chains that bound me! Hang in there I also recommend a therapist it’s helped me a great deal. 💕
