Hi all. Markymark I am living for your emojis right now they are very motivational! Black warrior and kittycat ur doing so well I can’t wait to be where u are at. I’m not getting enough sleep and I’m struggling to eat anything. Hello summer winds. The feeling of shame is very difficult, but recognising this problem is so brave, we should feel proud. Like u my doctor got me onto the prescription tabs but I was taking over the counter for most of my life. I have CPTSD and until recently a very stressful job, think I’ve been taking these pills to cope. Im scared how I’ll cope mentally as I read u can get depression/anxiety coming off the pills, but been in therapy for a long time so feeling strong. Journalling helps me too. A slightly better day for me today, yesterday was challenging hope I don’t have one like that again. Day 4 nearly done, longest I’ve gone without in 10 years!
