[Wi...] Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I'm actually borrowing this concept from someone else... Like a Katrina victim in the direct aftermath of Katrina. Betrayed by those who could have and should have known better, abandoned by those who have the resources to help but chose, for whatever their reasons, arrogance, ignorance or whatever, not to. Left on my own to figure out how to dig my way out while facing the long road to restoring my life after having it desimated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Te...] Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Benzo w/d is like being hit very hard with large waves and getting sucked down over and over and over, fighting to breathe, then realizing every once in awhile that the sea has suddenly calmed down and all is well. Then another wave knocks you down, and the terror begins all over again - until one day you're able to finally get up and walk away from it all.

[Ba...] Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Benzo withdrawal is like selling your soul in exchange of hopes of a finding a new healthy one in a black abyss. Benzo withdrawal is like restarting your brain in troubleshoot mode and only being able to access basic functions until the "virus" is cleared. Benzo withdrawal is like giving yourself a severe concussion in trade for psychological freedom. Benzo withdrawal is wondering if you're crazy or if you always have been. Benzo withdrawal is being like a prisoner of war in an army of one. Benzo withdrawal is giving up control so you can have it again. Cheers we're all going to make it!
