[Bu...] Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I'm essentially done my 3 1/2 year taper. However, my mental health has/is been horrible! I'm so scared- my own intrusive/ negative thoughts are crushing me. You'dthink the worst is behind me but no. Everyday is a struggle. What do I do? When will this end? Any positivity is appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Bo...] Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Hugs I’m right there with you. I didn’t have such intrusive thoughts and been on 3 1/2yr taper journey as well at very end and terrified to jump off at .005mg. Sending hugs your way and remember thoughts are just body function. They aren’t who you are morally or as a person. We are in protect state so the thoughts will be negative and strange and nothing of who defined us. Say stinking thinking and call them out, sending hugs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest [...] Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Bulldog I get this 100%. Thursday and Friday weren't too bad then everything came back full force, my sad reality. It's a long holiday weekend and I just can't relax. I had a bad episode about an hour ago and it freaked my mom out, I couldn't shake it off.

[gr...] Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Full force moment for me today too. I try to get out and be with my family, but it's so very hard. Had to leave. I'm lucky I have a place to come to. At times, the memories I now feel are too hard. But being awake is life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Bu...] Posted September 2, 2023 Author Share Posted September 2, 2023 Thanks, sunflower & grace. I'm so sorry you both feel as crappy as I feel. Life's so difficult and has been. I can't protect myself from my own negative thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
