METAPHORS PLEASE. Benzo withdrawal is like: ?

[[Ne...]]

Benzo withdrawal is like:

 

- Pumping out the septic tank and having the hose burst all over you.

 

- Going to a Thanksgiving dinner only to find they're serving 'cold-turkey'.

 

- Waking up one day and finding out your brain has gone on strike. Then, in a show of solidarity, your body walks off the job too.

 

- Combing your hair with razor blades then spraying it with iodine.

[[Rr...]]

It's like having a pack of Dementors following you around trying to eat your soul.

Renaissance.  Not a good rebirth.  A new start to a different person.

[[mr...]]

LOL, i'm not in wd, but

benzo withdrawal is like taking out a person's nervous system like taking out a car's electrical wiring and creating shorts and disconnected circuits everywhere.

 

 

[[wo...]]

The inner vibe is . . . . . . . . Take your hand and grab the stick shift of an old semi truck.  Now feel the metal on metal grinding and permeating to your core

[[On...]]

Ill really have to get back to you on that one day when my mind has cleared :

[[be...]]

like having your soul siphoned into oblivion and being told to make yourself at home while your corpse heals

[[Sm...]]

smilies if it is 'like' (sorry english teacher)

 

[[Ne...]]

Sorry Smiiffy - benzo bbrane. Lol.

[[Sm...]]

Don't be sorry. Everyone gets the difference between metaphors and similies wrong.

And my benzo brain couldn't come up with a cogent similie either I can reach old learning but new thinking.. blaahh

[[On...]]

I'm viewing the world through a foggy plastic lens with a very small angle view-point. From this focal point the world looks dull and it feels like its been closing further and getting duller and smaller as the time goes by.

Going to Hell before you are dead and judged.

This is absolutely true for me- learning anything new…forget about it!!!!!!

I think benzo withdraw is like going on a journey without a map. There is a lot of conjecture and little fact. I don't know what to expect because no two people agree about anything. Doctors don't agree and people who withdraw have different experiences.

 

Withdrawal is like shooting in the dark or sticking your hand into a hole without knowing if there is a snake hiding. It is a mystery wrapped in an enigma inside a puzzle. Reading all the stories it makes zero sense.

[[un...]]

Benzo withdrawal is like being grounded.

[[De...]]

"benzo withdrawal is like going to thanksgiving and being served cold turkey"- this made me laugh so hard 

 

Benzo withdrawal is equivalent to being raped by the entire healthcare system.

[[be...]]

It's like having a dog lift his leg on your pants. In front of someone you're trying to impress.

CT benzo wd = burning alive

like blessing in disguise /on easier days :idiot:/

 

like giving a birth to a child

(i was about to do it naturally without any painkillers,

and then i realised i can't , it was too painful)

 

like narcissistic abuse

 

like deal with God

 

like soul trip through the flame

 

like nightmare that you never wake up from

 

like soul that carries around a corpse

Benzo withdrawal is like being unjustly sentenced to solitary confinement in prison, and having no idea when (or if) you will be released.
