well it’s safe to say I feel like have been tasered all over or plugged into the national grid for good measures.lol 

 

p.b it’s those happy memories what cause me the most distress...

3am woke up huge adrenaline surges 

panic attack,I feel numb like really bad shell shock...dissociative type of state...joints aching so bad but it feels like my blood as acid in.heart racing wanting to rip my skin off 

 

have done deep breathing & laid with my son while he slept hugging Him & talking to myself reasurrung myself over & over..

 

i feel like I did before I went into hospital 

is this what they call a set back or wave...my heads fried.

 

I haven’t been awake since 3am since 3 months ago...

 

Could this be the antibiotics I don’t know what’s going on ???i just don’t feel good I feel like am been poisoned or something...massive surges there unreal...

 

many thanks in advance xxx

Raw yolks would depend on your senitvity to types of foods ,do the smoothies but use it as a stepping stone to.understanding nutrition .

Im actually off eggs for 90 days ,im wondering how they were affecting me .

Get collagen from both broth ,very good for ye .

Geting rid of the trainer is a good thing ,youl never beat an outdoor walk ,nearly lost my cool with an ignorant dog walker today lol,mother and daughter natering away while there 3 dogs came barreling down steps towards me ,I.just stood still and they ran around me as if I was a lampost lol.I had the arguement in my own head ,its safer .

I had my chia pudding siting by the sea in the sun today , yummy lol.

I.hope you sleep pink ,you deserve it.

Am ok with eggs p.b 

to be honest my body is that smashed with stress I couldn’t tell you what affects me & what doesn’t....but I eat eggs most days...this morning I had & omelette with fried garlic & peppers on a bed of spinach (garlic can’t seem to get enough)

 

Have noticed with all the trauma I can’t seem to go into my own body like I don’t feel safe.I am wondering if any body else as experienced this I can’t meditate as I don’t feel safe enough too...

 

i know Roland bell & expert on trauma as guided meditations to ease you back into your body,there pricey though...look him up his got some great books.

 

oh hell good job they didn’t (you know what up your leg)thinking you were the lamp post lol...

that sounds perfect...I can’t function to go out p.b body says no no can’t function to walk far this is what’s soul destroying not walking I would walk for miles on end.one day I will that I do know...

 

how do you do your pudding?you eat unreal.I am healing to much stress on myself trying to juggle surviving,what foods & trying to skills.Plus run a home & trying to parent 4 days a week...Wish I just wish I had help some tines to take some of the weight off...people say leave your house etc I can’t sit in a dirty home it’s not me.i did pay for a cleaner when the crap hit the fan..but had to stop as I couldn’t afford one!But it seems I am trying to juggle to much again,an not knowing which ball will drop where...I don’t want to crash never again.If I lived totally alone I wouldn’t care about my home been a tip tbh while am going through this.But I can’t have my son coming home to pig sty....plus am constantly stressing as our relationship is going.He can’t look me in the eye & it breaks my heart.I want him home but cannot manage yet...there’s so much anger on his part but how the hell do you get a child to understand this madness.Its taken everything from me..it’s not a spiral it’s the truth I just don’t go to far into it...but hell who wouldn’t be devastated there only child isn’t with them.Then when he his he is angry,but that’s hurt!I reassure him I love him more than life itself.

Am enduring this because of him..

 

Any how sorry for the ramble think I need a counsellor prompt 😕 

i say to much but I wear my heart on my sleeve & I can’t change that it’s who I am...not good really as it’s that,prob why I ended up here...sometimes in this life been nice can get you know where!Have noticed it seems to be the biggest & kindest souls who go through this torment...yet murders etc don’t even suffer this hell....so much injustice...

but when we get through this the bigger picture will unfold as to why we had to go through it!!i just know  that if I can save another person from going through this then it’s not in vain!I want to help others after this is over pay it forward...

 

Theres going to be a pot of gold at the end of this...

hiw we navigate it & get there is the hard part!We go armed & keep going...our tools what we learn are our ammo against this....

 

man i do talk rubbish 😕 you can

 

tell I see nobody & am a loner 

 

Or thanks p.b sleep deprivation makes this 1000x worse...

 

you keep on keeping on & sorry for the essay xxx

how do you do your pudding?you eat unreal.I am healing to much stress on myself trying to juggle surviving,what foods & trying to skills.Plus run a home & trying to parent 4 days a week...Wish I just wish I had help some tines to take some of the weight off...people say leave your house etc I can’t sit in a dirty home it’s not me.i did pay for a cleaner when the crap hit the fan..but had to stop as I couldn’t afford one!But it seems I am trying to juggle to much again,an not knowing which ball will drop where...I don’t want to crash never again.If I lived totally alone I wouldn’t care about my home been a tip tbh while am going through this.But I can’t have my son coming home to pig sty....plus am constantly stressing as our relationship is going.He can’t look me in the eye & it breaks my heart.I want him home but cannot manage yet...there’s so much anger on his part but how the hell do you get a child to understand this madness.Its taken everything from me..it’s not a spiral it’s the truth I just don’t go to far into it...but hell who wouldn’t be devastated there only child isn’t with them.Then when he his he is angry,but that’s hurt!I reassure him I love him more than life itself.

Am enduring this because of him..

 

Any how sorry for the ramble think I need a counsellor prompt 😕 

i say to much but I wear my heart on my sleeve & I can’t change that it’s who I am...not good really as it’s that,prob why I ended up here...sometimes in this life been nice can get you know where!Have noticed it seems to be the biggest & kindest souls who go through this torment...yet murders etc don’t even suffer this hell....so much injustice...

but when we get through this the bigger picture will unfold as to why we had to go through it!!i just know  that if I can save another person from going through this then it’s not in vain!I want to help others after this is over pay it forward...

 

Theres going to be a pot of gold at the end of this...

hiw we navigate it & get there is the hard part!We go armed & keep going...our tools what we learn are our ammo against this....

 

man i do talk rubbish 😕 you can

 

tell I see nobody & am a loner 

 

Or thanks p.b sleep deprivation makes this 1000x worse...

 

you keep on keeping on & sorry for the essay xxx

 

 

Essay away pink ,absolutely no worries.

Keep chipping away at helping yourself pink and then that will help others,weI can waste time helping others that arent even conscious of there own issues,

I got a bit obsessed trying to help and "save " my brother .but im in a far worse state than him so I think it can be a form of avoidance of our own pain.

I love him but hes im a very dark pain body statw that I cant do anything about.

Be selfish and work on you .

Im not that great of a cook ,im a long time at it but im doing better at introducing better and healthier qaulity ,give me an addiction to healthy eating over drink any day lol.

Take care .

Thanks pink ,my heart bleeds for you ,it really  does ,keep working away at the guilt ,it needs to be  dropped  ,I'm doing more work on this lately ,it will be a daily exercise for years to come  .you'll have to force yourself to remember them feelings of being the mum you were and will be in the future.

Its so tricky about the tapering and holding .

My mind is really going over the top with questioning this whole process ,I've had extreme anxiety back that I remember 10 years ago but I have serious tools now to help but today was extremely hard ,had some work on today  and  my anxiety, brain fog and critic  were  very strong .Anxiety will be my demon to tame for my whole life ,I see this now .

 

Have you updated your signature I can work it out .

 

can you switch off by watching tv ,I did this the weekend and I chilled out .

Look over the success story's ,find something to cling to and relate to  ,I wonder always what will put  the fire out in my brain ,off meds or up meds but I've held for a year so I have to keep going ,its torturous but we cant see into the future ,we thrash ourselves over the past though why is It like that ,its time to see a positive future through this hell .

@pinkfairy Hi PF. You were kind enough to drop by and wish me well and support me in the past. Returning the favour. I believe this is how we finally get drug free, supporting each other. Sorry, that you are having such a hard time. I empathise. The last month has been hard for me but I do feel as if I am stabilising a little these last couple of days. I’ve been holding for a while now and Im in no rush to taper again.   You will be okay PF. Acceptance snd patience are the keys that will free us. 

 

I dont know if you have read Lossleaders story. The link is below. It gave me so much hope.  Steve xx

Thanks p.b 

mine as so much to do with my child.The anger I feel is killing me off...Not towards my son towards everything that as stopped me been a mum!

i do not know where this rage as come from it’s insideous...I want my child home,but am to sick to have him home!When his crying he wants to come I can’t handle it.So I start thrashing it’s the spiral & it’s bashing away...I feel like I could lift a car it’s that bad!The stress of doing it alone,trying to learn new things,cooking & my sweet child not been here is sending my CNS into a frenzy..

 

The drug is eating my soul away.The linger this goes on the more hacked off I am becoming.

its devasting when I was doing so well.One small trigger set a total train wreak off...

its internal aka & am tortured beyond belief.

am so sorry about your anxiety I have had it my whole life too,so your not alone!Mine was growing up with physical & emotional abuse...started with panic attacks at 12 after my mum died...

 

Have tried but I can’t fit anymore on my signature?i am at 4mg of diazepam!

I got a taper plan off una Corbett but it’s for liquid & tablet...

 

only thing is is I didn’t get along with liquid.So am stumped as I don’t know how to get off any how.

sleep as gone to dog turd again.

 

seriously not in a good place.

Thanks so much for stopping by Steve it means a lot that you both have...I am sorry it’s been hard for you.But am soooo glad your stabilising...

 

Support is defo a good thing while going through this.

 

Its my son I am going nuts I want him home but not strong enough.

 

Acceptance am struggling with this at the moment.But it’s what makes this journey easier!Am angry & I need to let it go,it’s like years & years of suppressed rage is coming up.The more I am trying to push it back down the more it’s biting.I don’t know how to calm it down.sorry just in a right mess with it all.

 

thank you so much for that I will take a read...Xxx

get journaling Pink,get it all out of your soul  ,I was going through a binder yesterday with full of stuff I keep notes on for all kinds of things and I came across a note I had written to my little niece ,I had  written it on a reflective day  but it welled me up with positive emotion ,stop believing you don't deserve peace and happiness because we do ,happiness is simply the opposite of feeling crap but for some reason and "chemically" we lean to the misery .[not a judgment on you of course pink ,a bit flippant but it fascinates me ].

 

The anxiety I have back from many  years ago will be tackled very differently ,I'm aware of it ,I know what it is ,I don't drink ,I try not to be self critical ,but its hard work ,I've had 2 days in work were it raged but I'm conscious of it .as I said anxiety will be my cross to bare for ever ,I need to accept this ,im getting better at not saying the first thing that comes into my head ,I had a bit  of fawning today witch I don't like but its a process .

Sorry pink I'm rambling .

You will be well again ,trust you will.

I asked a dear dear friend to help with the figures.I cut on the 5th of November...I don’t know where am at or what cut have done.

 

Its coming up to day 8 & I just would like to know if I can go back up?my body is not ready,my mind is ok but my body is having acute symptoms. What the hell have I done.I got scared about tolerance...

 

can somebody see how much of a cut I have done please...

.164  morning

1mg night time 

 

i was on 4mg have I done a 1.5% cut?if so I am not ready to try a tiny cut like for a very long time...

In the mean time to cope I have been drawing,painting & journaling.Taking Epsom salt baths for the cramps & deep breathing & basically just getting from the next five minutes to the next... I am seriously kindled.I don’t even see a way off this stuff. How can a 1.5% start to make you crash...I do not get it! No S/I thoughts,or I aren’t freaking out about freaking out.I just know the red flags & they have all gone up. The pain is indescribable!Panic attacks on even getting out of bed..All my symtoms are physical not mental.

 

honestly how a tiny cut can do this as my mind more boggled than normal.

 

Very perplexed pink

Hi, 

I am not a mod, but my calculations are as following :

The 1,5% of 4 mg is 4×0.015=0.06.

So if you want to cut by 1.5% and you take 4 mg, then the dose you should take should be

4-0.06=3.94mg. 

Currently you are taking 2.164 mg. 

But please wait an answer from a knowledgeable mod. 

Take care. 

Citalopram 20 mg

Mid June 1994- end March 1995 Then tapering 3 months 

Mid August 1995-end August 1996 Tapering 6 months 

Mid January 2000-end September 2001 Tapering 6 months

Mid October 2003-end October 2005 Tapering 7 years.

Thank you for getting back to me I really appreciate it...I aren’t no good with maths at all. 

 

So so I don’t understand anything,I always get mods to help me with my taper.

 

I asked a friend this time around.I thought I was ready!My mind was,my body was not quite clearly now...

 

my average weight of a pill is .175 so my friend took 1.5 % off & got a weight of .164 

 

Thank you again for your help.I am difficult to help I know that because I don’t do maths 😖!

 

But that cut as blasted me out of my socks.
