Just wondering... if you're suffering from depression through this whole thing (which I'm assuming most people are)... should you not be getting treatment for that so it doesn't continue to get worse?

I'm not sure that 'most' people have significant depression, but many certainly do.  Yes, I think that they should be obtaining therapy to deal with their depression.  Folks with anxiety or anger should get therapy to help them cope with those issues.  Therapy definitely helped me get thru withdrawal/recovery.

 

Problem is that therapy is slow and relatively expensive (compared to popping a pill), and most people seem to want immediate gratification.

My bad... I just assumed that this was hell on earth for everyone involved. But I shouldn't assume that everyone wakes up with hopeless despair that implicates every facet of their life... day after day after day after day etc... which leads me to believe that this isn't all just Benzo withdrawal.

Thanks for your feedback Badsocref... just angry. I probably need therapy for that too.

 

Aside, why are you still here if you're 95% healed. I mean don't you find it difficult to keep coming back here if you're feeling good? Good of you to help people though. Probably not too many come back to offer advice.

I'm probably 110% healed.  My emotions are in much better shape than 10 years ago (pre-benzo).  Why am I still here?  I guess I think that I can help people (just as some people reached out to help me when I needed it).
