Emotional Block

[[no...]]

This is pathetic but here it is: I'm jealous of all the people who are able to cry. I wish I could. I've been emotionally blocked through this whole w/d process. Anybody else out there have this issue? I'd love to discuss this with a buddy.

yes!  I know benzo's can block the brain from processing truama, grieving, and just normal emotional responses to everyday things.

 

I lived a prety crazy and caotic and problematic life while on benzo's.  So I know how you feel, it just wish I could cry for all people i've lost, truama's i've had and the life i've had to live. 

 

Theres so much pain, and many feelings I have from having to living in and out psychwards and rehabs because i've my on going stuggles to get off benzo's

 

 

So your definatly not alone,  I hope you can cry soon, I'm sure you will.

nobeni,

 

It takes a while for those emotions to resurface after being subdued and blunted for so long. I know my first experience with emotions was late last summer. I was watching a comedy that I had seen before while on benzos. I know I didn't laugh at that time.  Last summer I started laughing and laughing during the movie and then I was crying because I could laugh. Since then I've cried, laughed many many more times. It all comes back and it feels so good.
