worrier,
You are sound like someone who has finally starting to come to terms with her illness and take control; not the other way around.
You and I both know that we are all going to have days when it seems that nothing is going right or you wonder why you ever got out of bed that day, but just caring enough about yourself to know that the person who knows youre needs best is YOU.
'I have known scores of people who until they acknowledge their mental illness and took an active part in their own treatment and recovery, lived in denial and frustration. They also robbed themselves and those they loved and cared about from the joy of having them in their lives to the fullest.Benzos and any other medication, when prescribed and taken with descretion...knowing the benfits and the risks.. have changed so many peoples
lives that forty years ago they would have have had no life at all.Knowing your personal strengths and limitations while enjoying life in whatever you do is what doing this 'dog and pony show' everyday is all about...
IN SHORT.. DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU
