my current anxiety is lifetime-dependent: I'm doing a pracitcal year and additionally I'm making a master's degree in an "evening-school", there is much pressure to perform.
in addition, my girlfriend (5.5 year relationship) left me 3 months ago.i have never taken benzos before and wouldn't have proposed it, but i was at the end of my rope ->suicidally, unable to cope with everydays-work.
so the doctor gave me 50 tabs of 3mg bromazepam to cope with the current crisis.
as for me I know I will have to take it until the summer holidays when I've got the time to "break down" mentally. until then I will have taken the bromazepam for 2.5 months - this is even a long time.
and I really absolutely don't want to become addicted to benzos, so I am not sure if I should continue treatment so long.on the other hand the risk of an addiction weighs less than the risk of losing its life in this crisis (I know myself, I know much literature and I know that I was already seriously suicidal-> no concrete plans, but continous thoughts, no meaning in life, no more pleasure, no future etc.)
I don't know if anybody was already in a similuar situation, but in the end I decided for the benzo because I decided for life..
yours, dep82
