As in I need a: “Seldom is heard a discouraging word”.
After almost a year off, I resumed Klonopin for situational anxiety related to having to have a biopsy - I don’t care who you are that’s scary. Well, what I discovered was, K treats me well, it literally takes away night sweats for me, takes away my mild bruxism and in general, compliments my quality of life. So, what’s the problem?…. Well, the guilt, the stigma, the naysayers and critics of my head. I can be very objective at times and at other times, not so much. I can be rational about it at times and at other times, not so much.
I admit when I began K, four years ago, I was fine with it. Exposure to negative info effected me greatly. DESPITE, not having any problems with it. I am not afraid of taking it and my attitude REALLY is it‘s a tool in the toolbox that some do fine with and others do not. I’m just guilty and feeling the stigma of a demonized class of meds. I really hate that…. But stopping it is difficult.
I’m not able to follow my own advice.
I am not posting this on meds as it’s more about needing some kindness and understand then it is about anything else. AND, I have no desire to get any doom and gloom postings of how I’m ruining myself. So, please, if that’s what you want to post, I would appreciate it if you would not.
I guess I need for someone to tell me okay… AGAIN….
