[...], you moved quickly, my man!
TY for the PM alert.
[...], so glad to see you!
I want to say, I was terrified of 'protracted.' Never thought I'd still be here, but I am. And while things are def'ly getting better, healing is happening, there are still some glitches, if you will. There seems to be a real dearth of information after 18 months, maybe because most people start to see improvement and go away. And the success stories skip over this stage, or cover it in a sentence, "such and such was the last to go." But if such and such is giving you a whooping, as it is me, I'd love to know it's a normal part of healing.
I have to think, since there are so many of us still dealing with residual stuff, after a great amount of healing, that there must be so many more out there, that we're not
alone.
So thank you, [...], for starting this thread! I remember how reluctant I was to give up the 6-12, for the move to 12-18, even though I started the damned thing. So the transition might be sluggish, but I think it will pick up.
And I'll say what I said at 6 months, everybody heals, nobody gets left behind. Even after we oldsters leave, there will be people behind us to pick up and carry on. The goal is to heal and move on to a healthy benzo free [...]. And we are getting there.
