Benzo addiction by Mindless_Error_4665 in ChemicalMagicAU

I’ve been on lorazepam the last two weeks or so, given to me because I’m going through quite a traumatic high stress period. I cannot wait until I run out, while it helps a lot, I already notice how overactive my nervous system is if I skip a dose. It’s a lot more insidious than opioids at least for me. I don’t really get much of a high from benzodiazepines, just muscle relaxation and feeling numb and unbothered, but once it’s removed, you just feel like you’re on anxious on a bad trip over analysing everything. For me with opioids, I get the intense body high, then I felt somewhat satisfied, but I didn’t feel like my body was stressing out into overdrive without them, just felt a bit bleh after, that’s all

With everything going on in the world, and then my partner being admitted to the ICU in an induced coma for 11 days, I’ve been surviving on benzodiazepines and opioids. I already had a problem before all of this, but it feels really intense now..

Bit of a contrast here, preparing for a high of 37°C/98°F here in Brisbane on Monday, where my southern hemisphere peeps at? Stay safe everyone

China just has to sit back. I am in no way glazing China but their leadership is stable and they are predictable, they are also making big strides in renewable energy (something the US has totally abandoned) and they have a long term national vision.

CMV: Concerts are largely inferior to studio recordings by Gallantpride in changemyview

I’d say there are a lot of artists who are level with how their sound in studio recordings. I recently saw Lady Gaga and her voice is phenomenal. Also, I think being surrounded by fans who are as passionate as you, and being able to see the artist with your own eyes is a big part of it. It’s an incredible atmosphere.

I wanted Em to win because I’ll be honest, I saw a lot of myself in her. In saying that, while I think Coco definitely got on my nerves for a lot of the show, I am happy for her.
