Lots to be anxious about.

Let's see how to be concise. As a young person sexually molested abused physically and neglected put on a horrible regimen of medications for almost 30 years, then detoxed off them and found out I had a brain tumor, my marriage dissolved, she sneakily got my money. I came out being gay to my family, lost everyone diagnosed bipolar but it's actually protracted benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome...life is just sort of a piece of shit right now.

I'm so sorry these bad things happened to you. Try to find solace in simple things like your favorite foods, look at pictures with beautiful landscapes, listen to your favorite music. Hugs

I'm sorry that you are in this situation. May be they can prescribe you alternative medication for withdrowal symptoms. I hope you had therapy to deal with the issue of abuse. I don't know how big is your brain tumour but some of them can affect the way you feel & behave. Do not worry at the moment about what anyone thinks of you, that is their problem. Focus on yourself & your health. Have you tried relaxation CDs? They usually work for me when I am anxious.

Hello, I like what mirashanouda says. Do not let what they say or do affect you. Find out all you can about your brain tumor, you need answers. Have you gone and talked with a therapist? You need to get all your pain out, therapy is safe I have done it off and on for years, I have an appt. this week and am looking forward to it. Be especially kind and loving to yourself at this time, not calling self names or using put downs. Come and write to us here, this is a safe place and we love you for who you are. Take good care f yourself, I send you Love and Hugs. Sprinkle 1 and peace too. xxx
