I've been feeling passive and unmotivated lately. I've also had some mood spells, feeling depressed, restless or just "off". I don't feel like being social and I'm having stronger cravings. I'm still keeping the beast at bay though. Hopefully this will all pass...I have family coming in from out of town so I hope my mood will change in the next few hours.

Recovery just doesn't seem to be linear for anyone, so it's important not to let the clouds caused by neurochemical dips become "reality."

They become less frequent as time passes.

And remember bonding behaviors. Even when you don't feel like doing them, they still help regulate mood.
