TRIGGER WARNING - Am I going to **e?

Hi Benzo Buddies,

I fear about ***ng almost daily.

I worry so much about overdosing, withdrawal seizures, dissociation, fasciculations and spasms.

It has actually got to the point that I think I have PTSD from the experience.

Can anyone offer me any insight as to how to cope with these overwhelming feelings?

David.

Hi Crowman,

It sounds like you could use a trip over to your power of positive thinking thread, I'm sorry you're feeling this way.  You're not alone, I run across many posts where people discuss the fears you've mentioned, it blows me away how this process finds our worst fears and insecurities and blankets us with never ending thoughts about them. These are symptoms of your withdrawal, nothing more, they're just like the anxiety, the insomnia and every other symptom we have, so the best tool is distraction.

Another tool would be education, I've read many posts from members who talk about meditation, or reading books written by survivors of this, or listening to webinars of them.  Connect with those who have experienced this, they will help you lessen the power these thoughts have over you now.
