Double Edged Sword

I awoke this morning a little better.  However, it just reminds me of all that I've lost.  I really struggle to accept what has happened.  Seems so cruel for the little time I used it.  However, a three time user is a three time loser.

I am so glad to hear that you feel a bit better today. I did three cold turkeys I do not consider myself a "three time user".

I try not to use words like "loser" when I talk or think about myself. I am not a loser, I am a survivor. I was beaten down, but I rose above it.

Glad you're having a better day today, satch.

It's hard to see any light today.  I had a busy life now I just lie around thinking about all the things that are gone in my life.  I struggle to find anyways to distract.  I really hate my life and struggle to imagine an existence that is going to be there on the other side.

 

How did  you guys manage when all was lost.  I have little hope for a good future.

 

THanks,

 

Satch

I got through it by staying busy. I am the type of person who can easily obsess about things - I knew that, and knew that to keep myself from obsessing I had to keep busy. I found some seriously silly things to do during those times, satch. Some of them strike me as funny now, but they helped. No matter how silly they were, staying busy really worked for me.

What were some of the things that you used to distract.  I am so sad and scared.  I just fear Im going to give up out of desperation and despondency.  My rich life has been destroyed by benzos. 

 

What things do you guys envision doing once you are past this horror.

Better job, going to movies (love Sundance movies), hanging with friends, hiking, riding my bike, enjoying life!

 

It's going to get better, Satch.

 

What was your favorite thing to do before you got sick?
