Hello I care.

Understood. Since childhood - that's what struck me. Same here, and have always wondered if that was hard-wired from day 1. Guess I'll never know. I also have ADD so learning was always exceedingly difficult. I have deep depression, anxiety, anhedonia, dysphoria, akathisia, insomnia, hyper-sensitivity to stress and cognitive impairment etc but mostly due to Benzo withdrawals. Will be 8 yrs off tomorrow and a nightmare. What's the worst is the grief. I've cried a river of tears over the years, lost everyone in my family, bro to suicide. Last 2 losses in 2015, my cats. In 2016 I OD'd on Nembutal, Benzos. Stopped Benzos after hospital. Did a 30-day rapid-detox, 8.26.16.

I suspect somes cases damages to the CNS are permanent. But who knows. I'm 66 now, which is quite enough thank you -

Hi Courtney4cranberries! Please message me if you want to chat. I’m stuck too and have just accepted it through meditation and practicing mindfulness. YouTube has many informative videos on it. It helps me. I’m here if you need me.
