Thou, I wish inpatient had helped you. I'm quite relieved that you are still thriving. I urge you to be safe, whatever you do, and to value your freedom. The marginalization and consumerist culture that exists in society is disgusting to me. I hope that you are drinking a lot of water, eating nutritious food, sleeping well, and overall regaining your happiness. I am confident that you will continue to thrive even though the world is indeed a fucked-up place a lot of the time.
I will send you a PM this weekend to explain how I know this. I wish you peace and a clear path to happiness. I hope that believing in yourself as an intelligent, sentient being will come easily to you. It's hard work, for sure. It is easy to mentally flagellate oneself through guilt and shame mechanisms. It is the everyday that matters.
As to the Klonopin, it helped with my panic disorder. I didn't take nearly what I was prescribed, and still don't (now I am prescribed Valium). I hope that you will consider a safe and medically supervised taper. In the interim, you can make use of techniques that don't involve doctors or pills. Deep breaths. Meditation. A walk through the neighborhood. A call to a friend. Developing healthy coping mechanisms is very empowering.
Please, be well - and don't give up.
