Gibberings CX: I feel all proud

pregabalin 150mg twice a day works quite nicely for general anxiety, doesn't have any of the bad effects of benzos.
 
seems mad that I'm picking up more etizolam tomorrow when I already have near 100mg and 500mg of phenaz, but it is at the post office, will shove it in the safe here until I'm out of the current etiz supply, which and the phenaz was intented to just be for comedowns.
 
Mugz - take it easy on the benzos buddy - as has already been said it's a slippery slope for you... is there no CBT on the NHS that you can avail of?
It'd be a lot better way of dealing with your anxiety rather than just masking it and setting yourself up for a nasty rebound when they run out...
 
Bleirgg, I've got one fuck of a cold going on here, you know, the kind which make you feel like you're on (boring, shit) drugs. I should really be in bed but I'm about to do a load of singing in front of people, well not in the mood. Might go extremely badly.
 
I know what I am possibly getting into, and I am thinking long and hard about how I want this to work out. It will ultimately be down to me, I don't want to go down the road of addiction again after finally getting off them, but it will take more than just wanting. I might go back to my addiction counselling and try and talk about this sort of stuff with him if I can get an appointment.
 
One thing Mugz. "Thinking long and hard" and "It will ultimately be down to me" have to be more than just words

Ok?
 
Just do something Mugz :( We don't have to tackle these issues on our own but somehow we always try. Figure out the best place to get help, and go get it. Or if you don't think you can/will, tell a close friend or family member and get them to bully you into it. Sometimes we just can't do stuff on our own and there's no shame in that.

You're approaching tipping point quite rapidly.
 
I understand, and thanks everyone for the concern. I know I can't do it all my own without an action plan, will ring the addiction counselling people tomorrow and try and get another appointment as soon as I can so I can talk to him about it all too

Is it addiction counselling you need or something to sort out your anxiety issue? I thought it was the latter.

Maybe addiction counselling goes into underlying issues, I don't know, I haven't had addiction counselling, but it sounds like you have a specific "mental health" issue, anxiety, that needs addressed.
 
I just think that I need to get used to dealing with day to day anxiety without benzos, it's like learning 8 years worth of social skills from the beginning again. It's not going to be easy, but talking about the addiction to the benzos with the counsellor will raise these issues and hopefully help me.

wow, I'm nodding a bit now from the ah shizzle

I don't know that it is as bad as you make out, maybe some relaxation techniques and a bit of attitude adjustment are all that's required, not 8 years of social skills. Seeing your problem as bigger than it really is, is probably part of the problem!

You're triggering me, stop it!
