How to stay positive

[[Mh...]]

Hello everyone, 

I won’t go into details about my story but benzos was prescribed to me for insomnia due to some school stress. The PCP never disclosed the knowledge of withdrawal symptoms or the hell on earth I’m going through. I’ve lost everything; my career, my girlfriend, friends, family members and much more. How can we stay positive and believe that one day we will heal and don’t have set backs and live a normal life? I am only 29. I feel hopeless and I feel like I won’t make it. thanks everyone. Love and peace to you all.

Here's another link that does a good job of explaining what's going on in the brain during recovery from benzos:
