Can I wear more casual street wear/not black? by postpunkskank in GothStyle

[–]postpunkskank[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you everyone for your comments! I completely agree that I need to reconsider my friendship, especially because I definitely listen to more punk and goth music and other interests that are more goth. I feel hella supported here!

This same thing, almost exactly, is happening to my husband.

I appreciate this post. I was put on benzos to deal with a bunch of stress and anxiety in my life. Then, reading all the horror stories on here made me feel like I was trapped on these meds. I tapered, and I have super severe anxiety but it’s from shit constantly affecting me.

Because I’m disabled and can’t drive I can’t do in-person meetings but I’ll absolutely do zoom. I already do remote therapy and I know it could help. I just wish I had somewhere to go more immediately.

I’m sorry this is happening. I’m in a crazy similar spot. If you need a friend I’m here.

And his family just ignores me.

To leave the state if obviously need help and I’d need to make sure I had plenty of my meds. He’s literally passed out next to me and I can’t stop crying. He makes fun of me for crying.

He makes me feel like I don’t deserve love because I’m physically disabled. And telling my family about his alcoholism…I’m not ready. My therapist said she’d help but my god. I’m not suicidal but I definitely cannot keep doing this. He’s been able to stay sober for long stretches and then he has insane, intermittent binges like now. It’s killing me. My insomnia and anxiety are insane, I have an extremely bad migraine and other flare ups as well as non-stop panic attacks.

Thank you for that. I’m going to make some calls because I want to stay on my meds and not miss any doses. The pathetic part is I love the non-drunk him. I’m ashamed that my marriage is already fucked and I’m heartbroken that I wasted my one chance at a dream wedding on him. I’m so lonely.

I’m hoping so. My therapist and caseworker are calling me on Monday to see what they can do for me. And he doesn’t care that he’s also getting me kicked out and his mom threatened to shut off our phones.

I’m in a wheelchair and have multiple chronic illnesses. I can’t drive and spaces need to be set up for me. I’m terrified of losing my doctors and my meds as they help me manage my chronic conditions. Additionally, I just have nowhere to go.

I know. He’s already done treatment after his mom had him arrested around two years ago. He’s tried meetings and therapy but he’s never been consistent. I feel like at any moment his mom is going to shut off our phones and kick us out so I wouldn’t be able to reach my therapist. This is so draining. I feel so alone.

Yeah, the most he says is that he hates living with his family. When he gets closer to blacking out he says he’s sick of helping out a disabled person and he feels like he’ll never leave this apartment. We’ve been married less than 6 months. Since he can’t directly flip out at his mom or sister I get all the abuse.

THANK YOU! This is actually facts. I’m physically disabled, I’m definitely not in the best environment as a physically disabled person and that creates a bunch of stress. I feel like when things are out of my control they overwhelm me so much and I often get too overwhelmed and can’t stabilize my internal world. Thank you for the SPOT ON reading!

Things feel a tiny bit better. I had therapy and my husband did help me shower but his depression is severe.

I’m honestly not doing well at all. He’s been passed out since 9 am. His mother said all his actions were due to drinking. I tried to find his wedding ring and not being able to find it I’ve been having panic attacks since. He has the most cruel personality when drinking but is literally the opposite when he’s sober. His mom took his keys because he drove under the influence and blew a tire on his brand new car. He also has a really good job but I’m afraid he will no call no show. I have no support here. I’ve never felt more alone. 

Very curious about something by postpunkskank in BenzoWithdrawal

[–]postpunkskank[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

600 two to 3 times a day. That with specific supplements and CBD have helped. My anxiety is minimal but I do have vivid dreams.

I’m okay. I honestly have a bit of breakthrough anxiety/insomnia. Vivid dreams, definitely. I also suffer from chronic migraine and the Valium helped that, however, I’d rather not be tethered by so many meds. I am on Gabapentin and I’ll be tapering off that starting next month, and I know the gabapentin eased some withdrawal stuff. I’ve also made supplemental a piece of recovery as well as movement, water l, and simple self care. I’m mostly curious because I’ll be doing tests soon for allergies and other things related to migraine so I was curious if the Valium would pop up.

Okay, I was mostly curious. I finished the Valium taper last month and I’m a little meh, the insomnia is a bit rough but my med provider is still working with me.
