If you get chance p.b that video with Tara Brach on befriending the fear body is really good...we have to start my giving it a name 🤔 I was perplexed,but the idea is so you don’t identify as the fear body.

 

i have had some lovely conversations tonight let’s hope the neighbours don’t hear me...

 

also brad Yates as loads of eft tapping on you tube...I will be a master of eft when this is over...

cheers ile check it out .

10th of jan diazepam .what's the dose? ,hopefully this will work for you pink .

Your A bit like me with the past ,we keep focusing on dropping it or at least work on  forgiving ourselves pink .

Christmas was a bit of a blur with the switch ,I don't want that again .

Maybe try focus on some nice thoughts of a walk in spring with your dog and son [even 5 mins to start ],I know this will trigger you so sorry pink but we can do it ,im a bit agoraphobic myself at the moment  so sometimes it is best to entertain it  .

when we keep the good memories flowing  it will slowly cancel out the bad ones.

my feet hate the cold ,5 layers of socks on lol.

went out last night for a little walk ,all dressed for the cold and a man walks past me in a tshirt lol,long johns and everything on me .I kind of like the dark when going out in the day overwhelms me .

Keep at it pink ,good to see you around again 👍.

I am still at 4mg p.b not budged on it.No intention my friend.

 

I am under a lot of stress at home.My son is suffering to the extreame.School wants a meeting.

am deeply concerned for him.He wants to come home I have him 4 days now.But am drowning as his needs have to come before my own.I am struggling to stay afloat.

i am breaking out in all skin conditions all over.My dogs poorly too.I have nothing left to give am poring from & empty cup p.b.Totally crashed juggling it all.

 

I made Christmas magical for my son.It took all I had but was worth it.Cannot remember it sadly. 

I got caught in a spiral no warning nothing.Cannot get out of it no matter what I do.Really bad anger out bursts (so not me) 

 

i couldnt tell you the last time I went out doors.Long johns 🙈 lol 

 

I feel trapped lately that feeling of stuck & just spinning.No forwards.

 

Good to hear from you with your long johns & all that.ha...

 

In a very bad place but am trying with all have got to get out.So ground down with it all been a long time at this already.

 

In acute symtoms again.Dam this spiral I am exhausted trying to get out of it.

 

I don’t know what’s a wave or me.I am just merged in a blob of suffering. 

 

Or thank you that means a lot ❤️

I know have upset people on here.It was never my intention too.I appreciate every single person!

 

I don’t come across as a nice person in WD which is definitely not my character.Thats why I know these drugs have definitely changed my whole personality.

 

 

How have you been holding up?

 

ps you don’t trigger me by saying go out.My legs won’t work to go out just constantly over doing it as made me ill.But like I said my child comes first even to my own well being.We have nobody else...

This is a thinking pattern you need to keep challenging ,this is an exaggerated assumption/neuro emotions  ,not fact .

withdrawl takes the  unhealthy and non serving traits we have and trashes us with it ,its astonishing .

we deserve peace and tranquillity keep telling ourselves this .

Making Christmas like that for your son is great.

You will be overwhelmed in regards the school with your son ,google social  services in your area that can help  you .

There was me & him for Christmas dinner I laid all the table out etc 

I took pictures too look back on.He loved it & made my heart melt.But we were both devastated when he had to go back,as I had him for 2 whole weeks.

 

Tell me about it this rips us too pieces.I feel like some monster 

I am like where’s the person gone who used to help old ladies carry there shopping home if I saw them struggle.

 

Nero emotions in this are just brutal so I hear you.Am exhausted totally as we all are.

 

pb I bet you have got your shorts & tea-shirt on with socks & Sandles ready to go out lol...

 

Pushing in this is brutal it back fires but hey ho no body to come cook & clean & wipe my brow for me.I need a vacation on a dessert island away from everybody (sounds bliss) 

 

Cannot stop itching all over its like ants under my skin urgh!!

 

Off to go make some food  & paint 

well done on getting out!

Your doing everything you can ,give yourself credit ,of course we hate what we are putting up with .think further down the road so as to give yourself a break at the moment .

Seeing him a few days a week is better than 7 days a week driving yourself into the ground .

Keeping your daily routine is good for yous .

Distract yourself by reading up on nutrition. 

I didn't go far for my walk ,wrecked so on couch until hunger makes me move lol.ive put on a stone in weight with no activity for months but I could do with it ,was getting a bit skinny .now im "fat skinny" ,skinny waist and a belly lol.

keep at pink and take Care.

Good morning SA travellers ♥️

 

Sleep 5 hours woke up at 4am with no clue where I was.High anxiety & a feeling of icy terror.Burning skin & the feeling of going insane.

 

Had breakfast & did what pb suggested I took my dog around the block at 7.30 am in my dressing gown with a coat over.( it was dark) felt DR/DP quite intense 

 

Got my sons breakfast & doing his school clothes washing them.

Intense pain as though some one is pulling my ribs open.But getting comfort from putting my feet on a football & rolling it around in circles very grounding.

 

10.20am feel wiped out totally exhausted.The feeling of I need to be doing something anything is in intense.

 

i wish you all those forever windows

I got out and did some errands I put off all week,i love finding the little wins ,I was hungry and found a wrap in supermarket reduced to nothing lol.did you ever watch extreme cheapskates on tv ,its great ,find loads of tips lol.

So funny I was at the self service machine and there was a big que behind me ,my head ran wild with panic and anxiety ,did the mindfulness and blocked it out lol sorted and moved on ,

I like watching others doing there scanning of items ,some people don't even bat an eyelid at everyone waiting on them ,interesting .

This is the dilemma we are in ,is it the drug we taking or is it withdrawl ,what a pain pink .

I think both for me as every time I ingest it,it makes me feel so sick.I have started with rashes & itching after taking mine.Going to go get bloods done some time next week.As I don’t get no daylight with been in 24/7.Its a total fear of been out.

cheapskates no I haven’t seen that 

I like to watch hoarders & then I think hey my house isn’t so bad after all 🙈!

Ha,I know it wasn’t an order but some times another perspective is good in this.As when it’s so intense you can’t see the woods for the trees.

Thanks p.b trying to breathe through these panic attacks.The gift that keeps on giving 😏

I think both for me as every time I ingest it,it makes me feel so sick.I have started with rashes & itching after taking mine.Going to go get bloods done some time next week.As I don’t get no daylight with been in 24/7.Its a total fear of been out.

cheapskates no I haven’t seen that 

I like to watch hoarders & then I think hey my house isn’t so bad after all 🙈!

 

baby steps all the way.I have been listening to Marissa peer when able too she’s really good.She as a fantastic meditation on depression & anxiety.

 

love online supermarket also ,I need to eat every few hours so going in supermarket was a must ,when I hike I bring food ,oh there the days ,ile fight hard for ever to get them days back.

Im getting that way with the liquid Prozac ,like im developing a mental block to it and the taste of it ,I hit the back of my throat with the liquid the other morning and had a horrible raspy throat for the day .

Ha,I know it wasn’t an order but some times another perspective is good in this.As when it’s so intense you can’t see the woods for the trees.

Thanks p.b trying to breathe through these panic attacks.The gift that keeps on giving 😏

 

 

Exactly breathe.

Oh I miss my woods and the pesky squirrel that used to come straight up to me while I would sit down lol.

I have more positive memories about getting back out ,this is good ,even a few weeks ago I had a positive dream about jogging in the woods ,this is rare ,usually always nightmares ,these have eased thankfully.

We keep at it pink .

Sorry 

i sent it before I had wrote anything 🙈 

hope your ok?

 

i was wanting some input from the moderators please.I need help desperately.

i am covered in a red rash what keeps flaring up it’s dotted all over my body.I have been to the doctors they said it was just a rash & would go away on its own.

 

But I noticed it keeps flaring to bright red & when it does I feel seriously poorly.

 

I am suffering inhumane from 3 pm till 8am the next morning.

 

i have not reduced I haven’t touched anything.

i am waking up at 2.30am some times 1.30am with adrenaline surges.Acid been poured through my veins.Sweet dripping off me & a pounding head.stomach cramps so bad I am doubled over.

i was making progress & now I am back to none functional I don’t get it.

 

i am lucky if I am getting 3 hours a night.The suffering as gone to a whole new level have not experienced this intensity before.

When I dose any drug it’s burning my skin more than it is.In a really bad place suffering wise.

 

i am leaning on my coping tools but this goes beyond any coping.

 

Really truly gratefully appreciate any help.xxxx

I'm glad you went to the doctor and got checked out, Pink. Sounds like it's a withdrawal rash, which is very common. Please see:

 

Skin issues: hives, acne, dryness, itching etc.

Hang in there, Pink. What you're describing sounds like a really bad wave. It will pass and you will feel better.

Sounds to me you may have histamine intolerance. I would cut out histamine foods.

2009-2010 Citalopram 20mg CT no problems

 

Sertaline 2010- 6monnths

 

2011- 2017 June 2017- Citalopram 20mg CT

Thank you shep I will have a read up on that.I am looking into changing my diet but it’s adding more stress not knowing what to eat.

 

I hear people say of a 3 year wave.Its 3 years I am off Paxil.

 

No definitely not reducing.

 

Childrens audio books are a life line to calm too.

 

Thanks again I hope your healing & your forever window opens soon xxx
