How are you feeling?

you will heal

I too am experiencing difficult symptoms.

Have you found any pass time or distraction or activity that helps you get through the day?

I find the early afternoon is the hardest time for me and so I've started listening to some benzo withdrawal meditation sites on utube and then I do a bit of drawing or beading if my hands don't shake too much. I'm also teaching myself guitar using online sites and screaming out my favorite songs lol and it helps a bit

wishing you peace

Warm wishes. You will heal!
