Emotions

[[Mr...]]

Has anyone had emotions back during taper like really feeling like you meaning deep emotions to laugh cry and even feel real ?  Is this possible to happen ?

If you're asking "do emotions come back" then yes.. All emotions will be increased whilst tapering. They also seem to rapidly change and can come and go depending on your current life scenario.

 

Best of luck 2 u.

I have experienced this and had it confirmed by my doctor.  All emotions are heightened and increased lability  (like crying easily) is expected.  I found it helpful to tell my family.  They now know that I react easily and don't find it as upsetting (or funny when it's a silly movie...)  It is also reassuring to remind yourself that you're not falling apart, you're just in Benzo withdrawal.

Money 60. Thank you. I didn’t sleep much but woke up with my thoughts today memories with my kids for all the years I raised them worrying I won’t be able to ever so what I did for them for so long even the simple things this is crap

M -  I have my PM's reply suspended for offering direct assistance to someone on BB.  I got your message.  YES, I am much better now and so will you after getting THROUGH Benzo Hell.  Not only will you find yourself again but you will be even better than you were before. This is NOT a lie.  I am living proof.  Breathe and be at peace knowing that you ARE recovering and this is temporary.

Today is so hard I woke up automatically mad in irritated thinking I will feel this way for ever !  How bad I wanted to get up go to Orangetheory to workout.  It’s fall how bad I want to engage with my kids to just run to the store to grab stuff to make a giant breakfast like I have for years than come home walk the dogs clean then house and do what my daughter wanted to do  Go grab Starbucks and even watch college games.  I don’t feel this time back with my kids. I hate feeling so empty  and lost  How can. I still teach them what I need to if I can’t function I’m a shell of what all in a matter of 6 weeks  :'(

I cry about 2 hours a day.  I can't stop it - I've cried more in the last 2.5 months than in my entire 41 years on this earth.  Like all of the senses in my entire body, my emotions have woken up.  I feel intense love for my children and sorry for not being with them right now and being a mother like I should and want to be.  And all the lost time with them.  Like all of my heightened senses, it really is too much.  I'm glad to no longer feel "numb" but this is too hard.  I still haven't felt much joy yet but that's really because of how intense my physical SX are and being separated from my children.

Oh dear. You really should not misrepresent the facts surrounding the suspension of your ability to use the PM system. You knowingly contravened our rules by offering commercial 'benzo recovery health coach services' to members via the PM system (and asking the recipients to not inform the forum Admins).

 

I understand that the Admins have already been in touch with you about your post above. But, frankly, they are much nicer than me - I find your behaviour too serious to let go with a private message to remind you of the circumstances of your PM suspension. You were lucky to not have your account banned - and you now attempt to misrepresent the facts to members!? You are not permitted to use this forum as a recruitment ground for your business. The reasons for this are pretty obvious, and were obvious to the members who reported your messages. You did not simply 'attempt to offer direct assistance' - you attempted to peddle your commercial services via our PM system (knowingly) in direct contravention of the forum rules.

 

I strongly suggest that you consider and evaluate the ethics of your actions.

I know your pain. I have three kids and I feel guilt for not really enjoying them right now. Any little tiff between them causes me to spin into an emotional crisis. It's terrible. I am with my kids. I think the way I am right now is affecting them negatively.

Colin,  I am officially done with BB because of YOU and your moderators.  Fact check: I am beyond pissed off that you think I would peddle services... I don't need money (not in the least) and I am dedicating my time to help others.  Once again, I have been disciplined for actually trying TO DO something about this horrible situation.. I offered my Services to BenzoCalamity because I care.  NOT because I need the business.  I, like many other who have quit BB, have offered ongoing support to MANY people in return for NOTHING and still do.  My book is being published - THROUGH BENZO HELL - and is it is already written - my thoughts on Benzo Buddies being very helpful to those looking to be validated but failing in making a REAL difference with all the priceless information that it gets from people.

 

I will let the producer of the Lisa Ling show know so that future episodes will document the shortcomings of YOUR behavior. 

 

Bye!    Go ahead and delete this before anyone knows what REALLY happened.
