I'm several years late but couldn't believe how on point these were.  I can relate to every single one hahaha - feels good that others can relate even though I wish NOONE had to go through this...

Save time and money on cosmetics, who cares how you look, cover the zits? Give me a break.

 

Who needs shampoo, soap and hair products  to take a shower is like climbing Mount Everest.

 

Get to see how long your toe nails can grow, never knew.

Wowie zowie, just found this thread....I got a giggle.  Didn't know that I could giggle any more.  I can hardly wait to be in a place to add to your lists.  But I certainly related to a lot of it!  Housebound, that would be me.

But childbirth was definitely a walk in the park compared to benzo withdrawal

GB, you forgot to mention the fact that ( hopefully ) all of us here will be completely benzo free when the zombie apocalypse hits or when a solar flare knocks out the power grid. i mean who the hell wants to deal with benzo withdrawal when either of those two events are going on!
