You know you're withdrawing from Benzos when...

[[MT...]]

All True guys!

When you tell your spouse they are making too much noise when all they are doing is breathing

 

Yeah, but to be fair, sometimes that breathing is sooooo annoying I can know I'm being super irritable but the thoughts still come. I've had to learn to put a big wonking filter on my mouth.

[[Gr...]]

When you don't want to touch anything cause everything will kill you.

 

When you can't watch a Discovery Channel show cause you see malaria and think "maybe I got that" wich is nuts cause you live close to Antarctica.

Could I borrow that filter please?

If only we could really invent that kind of filter.  It would for all kinds of people.

You know you are withdrawing from benzos when shivering and shaking from the inside is somewhat the norm and oddly enough other people don't notice it because it's just a sensation.

....taking a shower seems more like climbing Mount Everest...

When a trip to the grocery store seems like a 1000 mile journey!

When the most comforting words you could ever hear are from a fellow benzo buddy saying, "Yeah, I had that but it's gone now."

... you stumble to the bathroom in the morning upon waking, and quickly realize "I didn't make it".

I must say I have not peed my pants lol..

No need for an alarm clock because you just magically just spring awake at 3-4 am.

You dont dare see friends and family because if you did they would think you had been possessed by some strange entity...

You know you are withdrawing from benzos when....

 

When your doctor writes a prescription and the first thing out of your mouth is, "Is there a withdrawal"? 

When the doctor says no, the first thing you do when you get home is look up the medication on the internet (If you don't already do it AT the doctor on your phone)

 

:laugh:

That is so perfect! I used to call my last doggie, my dogter (like daughter) but it works even better in this case! I agree....dogs are way, way, WAY more therapeutic and healing than doctors!!
