TD: I have had two major meltdowns thios week. No doubt they both spurred a lot of people on in their attacks on me. I know everone must take responsibilty for their own actions bit im sure in both situations i was provoled into those rages.
I aslo know the O level psychology of between stimuls and rsponse lies thought, or choice. I need to work on that one a lot more. I need to stop and think what the prebious poster ws really saying; i have often been defensively misintertpteting people and thus further alieanting even those who may have been trying to help me.
As it is, it has been a very up and down week for me. After Rage attack number one, i made every effort to try to prevent a reoccurence. I found a great deal more stregth and moral fibre inside me than i was aware that i had.
Very regretabbly it came udone again last night. Again someone makeing out of context judgements about my life from one sentence i have written here. Its totally absurd. To think you can know and judge a person from what they type on here. Regreatabbly yes i lost control again last night and undid a lot of my ptogress.. Im still learning ways of cpoing. Im not beating myeself up, im doing the best i can to maintain control and thats all i can do.
I think these rage attacks are obviosuly a side effect of 2 years of ridiculous over indulgence of benzos. Phenazepam was there waiting fro someone to light the ble torch paper. Here again i am making huge efforts to change. I am obviosuly bever touching phenaz again, and im not only reducing my etizolams very drastically but i have sustain these changes for ever. There is no 'jutst once,' for an addiction prone personality like mine. I am dowen from 40-50 etizolam pills to 15. I expect it may take some time for me to be completelky well, i dont expect any egg shell walking from anyone towards me, just as well, i know i wont get it lol. Ill be pushing as hard and fast as possible, until i start getting warning signals from my body of potrntial seizures or increasing anxiety. Eventually i will have to deal with anxiety without etizolam.
anyway i hope that partly explains the points yiou wre making. Which incidentally i totally agree with you.
It took me a while to learn the beast way of dealing wuth things, even that method has plenty of chinks in its armour, buts a solid platfrom for me to start rebuilding from.
