Love that someone just bumped this back up.

 

I had a moment earlier while in a bad wave where I just told my self to stop the pity party and look around a find things to be grateful for.

 

I looked around and saw:

 

I went for a walk with my son today while he was on his bike

I drove myself to the lab to give blood to rule out any other issues - driving has been hard so that was good!

I drove my son to the subway to go see his dad

I have an amazing, comfortable house and a wonderful bathroom where I get to take nice hot baths

I ate good food today

My partner will be home soon and is a funny person who makes me laugh so I have laughing to look forward to tonight

The big 4 hour long wave passed!

I made a youtube video for my benzo withdrawal youtube channel and it was kinda funny and lighthearted

 

Yesterday I managed to drive to the dentist and doctors

I took a walk while my son was on his bike

 

During my son's spring break we got to hang out a lot and walk/bike the trail and one day I took him for Vietnamese food and we had a sweet time and took photos

 

I am truly grateful that every day I wake up alive and that I haven't died yet from this withdrawal!

 

I am grateful for those that came before and who have healed and who tell the tail of survival so that I can read and re-read their stories.

 

I am grateful for my higher power.

I am grateful for my family who I look forward to being around everyday and I am grateful that I am an Intelligent woman despite what my benzo brain is telling me in this current wave. I can do this and I am so thankful that I can. I am also grateful that I am eating better.

I’m grateful for the smell of the blossoms in the air.  For my backyard.  For the sun being out and warming me.  For being able to voice myself a little today, and what I had to express being received with compassion.  I’m grateful for the humanity in wanting to help one another, even when we’re unwell.

-recovery, painstakingly slow, happens.

I’m SO grateful for those who have reached out and for the “wise ones” who have gotten through that are here to help us.  I cannot emphasize it enough. 

 

I’m also grateful I’m alive and haven’t given up.

I am glad I found this site started by Mtfan. Hello Mtfan, this thread is so nice. Hope you are doing okay. Today I am thankful that I was ale to crash on my bed for an organic nap after a sleepless night (something I haven't experienced in a long, long time). I am thankful that I have enough energy to go out to the indoor pool to tame my burning skin. I am thankful for everyone on this group.

 

Blessings everyone!

I'm grateful that I could lift my eyes from my own sadness and paint a picture with my daughter today.

I'm grateful that there were two days last week when I didnt feel like this.

I'm grateful for the people ahead of me who tell me to keep going, it gets better.

I am grateful that I had a wonderful window the day before yesterday. Slept 4 hours straight organically and was able to fall back to sleep until about 9 am. Was able to go to church yesterday. Went for a yoga class after weeks of feeling seek. I felt so alive and normal. Then last night my head pressure came back with vengeance and had difficulty sleeping. My stomach hurt. But I was able to sleep some and I am going to work. I am thankful that I am going to work after two weeks not being able to. Please God help me face my day with courage, strengthen my faith, and don't let me lose hope!

I am grateful that through this horrible ordeal I am now starting to enjoy the best sleep I have ever had in my entire life! you see I had never been a great sleeper and never exercised good sleep hygiene. through this experience I have developed a good sleep routine where I go to bed and wake up at the same time every single day (give or take 15mins..). I also stop using my computer about 2hours before and read in bed which makes me feel quite drowsy after only a short time.. my sleep efficiency is great.. i.e. most of the time I spend in bed is actually sleeping! and generally I have no more than 2 or 3 super brief wakes every night.. sometimes just one wake.. all good and pretty much foreign to me.. I don't feel that I am out of the woods yet.. I do expect to have further setbacks but I do think that at long last I am on the right track..

 

good luck everyone XOXO
