I
I'm currently attending a methadone clinic daily to stay drug free, I have 9 months clean from heroin, but I don't feel like my self, I don't know how to behave socially, not inappropriately, but I mean, I can't recieve the correct emotional responses I normally should, I always feel so empty inside and it's hard when someone shares something special with me because I can't find the strength to actually feel interestedly, so I fake it and I deep down I am interested but I just don't feel it. What's wrong with me?
@Catbug214 Recovery can take a long time in some areas, due to the effect that drugs can have on the brain and body. You may not feel like you're getting the same rewards or good feelings from interacting with people at the moment, because your brain is still trying to get used to not having the substance. Keep on reaching out to others and seeking support - surrounding yourself with positive things will help you be able to feel that rewarding feeling again. Recovery is a marathon, but you can get to the end!
@Catbug214 that person you used to be isn't gone still there but you've gone through a rough time and things change but with time and recovery you can find that person you used to be and it will get better:)
