I am in benzo/gabapentin/tiagabine WD ATM and I am trying to tackle 4 things at once:
1. Get better from WD (only time heals)
2. Get ripped/shredded (already went from 220lbs to 183lbs @ 6ft in 4 months, but need 3 more months to get ripped)
3. Get a job
I am not sure how to prioritize it. Does it make sense to be dating while in benzo WD? Does it make sense to be seeking employment? I've been long-term unemployed after an accident that almost left me paralyzed from the neck down, requiring multiple back surgeries, which took years to recover from. Then it took even more time to recover from opiate dependence (now fully resolved - Thank God!) When you have anxiety through the roof, potential employers catch that. Plus, there's the whole brain fog and lowered IQ that occurs during benzo WD - blanking out and stuff.
This is such a mind-fuck. Only time will help with WD symptoms, but sitting and waiting for things to resolve is wasteful. At the same time, doing things like looking for a job also feels wasteful because the current state of mind if wrecked to shits.
