Really Struggling With Doomed Feelings

[[Tr...]]

I have this nauseating feeling of impending doom.  It never leaves me.  It's so strong, I don't understand where it is coming from.  Anytime I get up to do something it intensifies.  Anyone able to relate to this odd and unsettling feeling?

 

Feel like I'm in WAYYYY over my head.

This is something I remember oh so well - it's such a horrifying feeling, and even real life tragedies did not feel this bad. Luckily it was something that left after the jump, but it did intensify for me terribly as my doses got lower.

 

At least it may be a good sign that you're finally coming to the end of it!

Leslie,

 

Thank you for responding.  Just looms over me.

I know, it is just so demoralizing.

 

I promise you, it'll fade quickly once you're off the benzos - you'll be feeling that relief soon!

Try,

Impending doom is something that I deal with every day, it's my biggest symptom.  I struggle with that, a fear of whatever is coming down the road, and when it's not super strong, it is more of a general anxiety issue that swings over to depression as I look ahead and too often feel like what's the use?  I so want to have the love of life back, and the only silver lining I feel right now with this is- If I survive benzo addiction/taper/withdrawal, I can face anything.  I definitely know the doom you feel, you are not alone.  I have tried many coping strategies, however i have yet to master any.  I think I just need to continue my taper and heal with time, and time seems eternal at the moment.

hFH, it gets really hard as you get to the lower doses.

 

Please don't be discouraged though - you've gotten so far in your taper, and before you know it you'll be off this last bit too. I remember when time stood still for me too, but then suddenly the benzos were DONE. You'll get there soon!

Hope,

 

I'm looking for a silver lining, as well.  Something to justify all this. 

 

Thank you for replying.

I wonder if this is worth all we go through, the struggles and longing to just be normal.  Is all the sacrific worth it.
