Finally, a decent break

[[Cr...]]

After getting pounded by horrible mental/psychological symptoms nonstop for the past month I have finally entered a period where I feel I can finally.... relax.  The dp/dr, anxiety, racing negative thoughts, are still there to an extent, but they are now in the backseat again instead of at the wheel.

 

I patiently, but anxiously, awaited for relief and it seems that the old adage of "time" once again came through.  This wave was the 2nd worst next to the one I had in April (which I was totally unprepared for).  The dark thoughts were so bad on some days it felt as if I was close to a breakdown, but I managed to endure it.

 

I was in very bad shape this past weekend and I think that may have been because I was about to break through. I started feeling better Monday night and things just gradually kept getting better.  After being in such a horrible state for over 6 weeks my spirit was low, and I felt like I was keeping myself in the state I was in.  Low and behold, without changing anything (diet, exercise) I pulled through.

 

I anticipate there will be more difficulties ahead on my way to healing.  In fact, this may just end up being a 3 or 4 day window.  I will take that.  It has been 5 months since my last benzo, so I shouldn't expect this war to be over.  I did do a c/t off of klonopin and alcohol after all.

 

I just want to give a special thanks to all the buddies who have helped me get through this dark period.  Now I think I am going to watch a movie (and actually pay attention to it).

Lucky you !!!! Congratulations. I hope you have many many more good days and they stay that way. I'm still in hell with very high anxiety so I am not as fortunate. I'm thinking about reinstating because at my age I can't take this torchure much longer. I just locked out my 37 year alcoholic son on Sept. 17th and I haven't heard from him since so that might have something to do with my emotions. I wish my son were as good as you. Again CONGRATULATIONS and much success.    ((((((Hugs)))))

I know how difficult things have been lately, and I am SO happy to hear you are getting some much deserved relief.  I hope this window lasts longer than days...and you have such a positive attitude about it all.  SO happy for you!!!
