ONCE AGAIN ASKING FOR HELP - PLEASE GIVE ME SOME SUPPORT

[[do...]]

Hello,

I am 50 days out - and am still so extremely depressed I wonder if it will ever, ever end.  These feelings are overwhelming and I question whether it is all worth the fight.  Can any of you offer encouragement that I can get through this without seeking medical assistance and relief with a drug???  I really do not want to take another pill, but I question my perseverance. But, most importantly can any of you reassure me this is the withdrawal?  I am constantly anxious and fear I read people wrong, which then leads to frustration.  These thoughts consume me and I think I may be like this forever.  PLEASE can any one confirm my worst fears are NOT true and I will be able to get better and regain a sense of being whole, healed and enjoy life again?  I make a plea for those who have gone through this and have reclaimed their lives to share their support that I can survive.  Thank you.

Hi Dolphins1, Take a deep- s l o w - breath...you are in the throws of withdrawal. Your CNS is use to the drug and is trying to heal itself. I was there and it can be scary, but just know the brain is going to go all over the place...weird thoughts, scary thoughts, depressive thoughts. Try and keep yourself busy with light things. Games on your computer, simple puzzles, easy tasks around your home, any thing to keep your mind off symptoms. Meditate with slow breathing, Epsom's salt bath( it relaxes the body), or just a relaxing soak in the tub. Keep searching this site for help and answers also.

 

We have all been there , it is not easy , stay your course and be reassured you will heal more and more as "time is the healer" If I can be of any help pm me. Sending you warm thoughts of healing,  Jude

Although I feel I have little to offer you here, I wanted to respond to your plea because I have been there So, so many times, thought I'd commit suicide often. I'm not sure how to help, but I can tell you that I've been growing and doing better than ever in my life Lately, so yes it is possible with TIME, abd I hope that encourages you. W/d definitely triggered worse depression, Esp since prior to tapering, I used to "fix" my darkest days by splurging on high doses. It's taken me so much time (years) and several setbacks, but I'm seeing my way out now. This has been there result of a shift in my consciousness,  a shift towards self control and being in control of myself. This stability is leading me to a better life. But it's all time, and fighting the fight.

Good luck to you.

I'm housebound since my jump, important anxiety and fear, agoraphobic, social anxiety, scare to leave my house, can't drive because of my anxiety, can't exercice anymore, just walk 5minutes put me on a panic attack, so also very depressed.

I'm close to you jumped on July 7th. You ARE having withdrawals. It's not a question. I'm not close to being better but know that we will get through this. There are TOO many people on here with success stories. We have to get better why would we be different. I've never seen a post from anyone that states they didn't get better.
