An excellent point! Yes, benzos have become the boogie man. I think it's cruel.

I do not want to hear about how Benzos " Might" cause early Dementia... Will that really matter if most of your life is miserable? No thanks Ill take the risk, I certainly dont want to start drinking as that comes with to me much more damage to the body not to mention people driving while drunk.

Absolutely true. I agree.

I need to work with Richard next session to help me get back to Mindfulness, its a coping skill that we have to actively work on to help get the most out of it.

I've been working with it for years; I have some success, wish I had more.

I am so sorry that anxiety is just so overwhelming for you right now

Maybe tomorrow you will find some peace if even for only for a short while. Even moment helps

Thank you so much, C
