Good morning lady Mary this is breaking my heart to read you are suffering so much.l know people think that physical symptoms are easier to deal with however when it comes to benzo withdrawal no they aren't.l have been sadly lumbered with both and they both suck.l don't really look for treatment as l know it really won't help.l tend to walk in nature which actually helps me more than anything.l also take long baths adding lavender oil which help a little other than that l suffer knowing it will end one day.

  I have improved slightly so that's good.l am looking after my daughter's bf as he is now down with the lurgy and his parents are away on a cruise.He is actually very easy to look after so it isn't a big deal.l will be getting the med for the animals today so cleaning will commence when l have them treated 😭.Awe well it has to be done.Look after yourself honey and rest as much as you need to.

. Thinking of you.

Love you my lady Mary HenX

Hello everyone,

 

I say a prayer for this group all the time, it is powerful and it will work!

 

Trishy, I’m just kidding around, you don’t have to be great at math.  I’ll still help if you need it.  Sounds like you’re doing well so far on this first cut.  Make sure you feel stable before cutting again, no rush!

 

Stut, thank you for kind words, I know you’ve been through some illness recently, I hope you’re on the mend and feeling better.  Keep plugging away, better times are ahead!

 

Mary, so sorry about your pain it’s so awful to live with pain all the time, I hope it will soon improve.  I wish I knew something that would help.

 

I’m doing pretty good on my taper at this time, going very slowly, my symptoms seem to be mainly sore eyes and tiredness now.  I’m so thankful the horrible anxiety and depression of a few months ago are now gone.  I’m still not normal feeling but I’m so much improved and I can tell it will gradually continue to improve in time.

 

Hang in there everyone, time is the healer in this.  It may take longer than you expect, have patience, hold when symptomatic and taper slowly.  We WILL see better times.

 

Bill

Welcome Gild l know from experience that vivid dreams are a withdrawal symptom.l have to say l kinda look forward to dreaming.l had lost the ability to dream when on the benzo so to me they are a sign my brain is healing.As for what they mean to me they mean nothing just the ramblings of an anxious mind.l know they can be disturbing however they do lessen.Stay strong.love to you.X

 

Thanks Stut! Maybe that’s an easier way to think about it. I wake up with racing thoughts and that’s upsetting but I’ll have to try and make my peace with it until they hopefully subside. Thanks for the encouragement:)

Hey twin doing well! No help needed this time accept for math 🙄😔 other then that I'm handling things on my own like a big girl😉 and no ass kicking please that's the one part of me that's held up and still quite lovely if I do say so myself  :laugh:

 

I'm glad to read that you are feeling better. That's good news twin. So happy you're on the upswing 😃

 

Now since you're feeling better get to baking those apple tarts got Bill I need him to stick around 😉😂😂

That's good to here Bill! Glad you're going to stick around 😃.. it was a good decision Bill bc I'm not pretty when I beg 😂😂

 

Glad you're doing well in your taper. I'm doing very well in this tiny cut but I have noticed like you said a little uptick with my breathing especially when I'm walking fast. I'm not alarmed by it at all. I am still moving forward with another tiny cut on Halloween. That will bring my afternoon dose to one full .25 pill + a quarter of a .25 pill. Now don't scramble your brain trying to figure that dose out 😉

 

Talk soon Bill and here's a slice of 🥧 just for you ! 😉

TT 🙂

Love ya,

Hey everybody , pretty bad day, just wanted to say hi and love you guys.  Mary 💜💜💜💜

As it's bed time here and yesterday we started praying for everyone in this group and Bill joined today with the same spirit, I'm just popping in to ask the universe to help us all.

 

I hope everyone is having a decent afternoon over there. And over here Gilly I hope you're doing a bit better. Good night to you.

 

Mary I hope your pain lets up. It really must be bad as you're not one to complain much. I think the hold will eventually work. My updose made my muscle issues improve some, but it took months to improve, and it's not well, but better. You know Valium how slow it is for everything so if you're holding it could work, but be patient 

 

Suzy I hope today is treating you better than yesterday. Now we're in this together so there's no giving up. Just one day at a time and praying when there's no hope. See you tomorrow.

 

Olive kitty, Guinea pig, final, trishy, guild, Bill, and of course Stut, and anyone else I might be forgetting, I hope you're all finding some peace today and I'm visualizing all out gaba receptors upregulating.

 

NJ strength of you read, I always remember you and Little gma.

 

Love,

Janice

I have a notebook I keep of all this, each morning I write what you could call a prayer for all of us, it's to my view of God,  and cover all of bb before I end.  And the world, I just can't end one without including the world, I feel selfish or something.  🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
