Mental torture

[[he...]]

why do I keep having “visions” or thoughts of horrible things happening to the people I love the most in life? I can’t take this anymore it’s mental torture. I think I am going insane. I am terrified, I am not who I used to be anymore and I doubt I’ll ever get there again. I don’t know if this is WD anymore, I just know this all started when I stopped benzos.

I had this HWH.  It's frightening I know. 

 

I think it falls under "intrusive thoughts" and associated with anxiety.  It is a well documented withdrawal symptom.  Mine has lessened (a lot) at 18 months.  Now only occasionally.

So sorry about how your.I deeply relate. The only thing that tried to help during that dark time is mindfulness. Hard as it seems I guess is the only thing you can do.Look for mindfulness of thoughts and feelings by John Kabat-zin on YouTube. Hope I'm of help somehow.

I get this too. Not as bad now. Goes away for a while than comes back briefly. You will get passed this.
