Intro

Welcome here! You've come to the right place to find the tools and support you need. I'm still pretty new here too. We need each other to encourage each other and help each other out. All the best to you!

 

That sucks man. I feel for you. I know how bad that can feel. I've been there too. I hope you can stay positive, and not binge to make matters worse. I know all about binging after a reset too, and that sucks even more. Two steps forward, one step back. Sounds cliche and trite, but it's true. We don't lose our progress when we slip up, if we manage to learn from our mistakes. Don't quit quitting!

 

Sounds like chaser effect. The urge is to binge now that you've had a setback. That's the difference between a reset and a relapse, basically. A relapse often involves binging and returning to old habits. I've been there too. But if you can manage to not binge, you'll thank yourself.

 

I don't know about the sore throat, but the sleeping is a classic example of withdrawal symptoms, I believe. Either sleeping too much or not being able to sleep well or long enough usually accompany trying to quit something you're addicted to. Also, since addiction is usually tied in with emotional well-being, and addictions are often in some part at least a coping mechanism for handling stress and depression, taking away the addictive behaviour will leave you feeling depressed for a while, and depression will make a lot of people want to sleep longer (sleep is a form of dissociation--an escape from reality). Hang in there: it WILL get better.
