A wise man once mentioned something about patience and being kind
Good post dearest Thirty shades.

I have also found that staying silent doesn't help me

Thank you and much respect and loving kindness to all the kind, wise, patient and true posters on the AS IS bus

I didn't know that about freud..
I guess I'm addicted to Valium
Although why a low dose of that is termed an addiction I don't know..
As you know I'm allergic to all the other (many) meds I've tried..
Its quite scary

Thank you everyone for this AS IS bus where all are kind and patient

I did not know about this Freud either..
I am not addicted to valium because my GP restricts my supply
A low dose is a necessity
I sit by your side on the bus
Valium is a wonder drug where all other fail

Thank you for being here everyone on the bus
Being among friends is a greater comfort when the world is so crazy.

i am not saying that anyone on the bus is addicted to valium...
i said i was addicted because of the problem i had getting off of it..
but probably i was just using it and depending on its great help...
it helped me thru years of suffering...

I wasn't thinking you were saying anyone on the bus was addicted to Valium,
I've been taking a bit too much lately and am having to cut down
much love to you

Sending hugs dear friend.

You are definitely not a horrible person. The bus would not be the same without you

I hope you did not run out of wine.

Yes I am on the bus again.
I too feel very lonely. I miss my boyfriend, my parents don't love me and I have no friends out here other than my PC friends.
Like you I don't trust meds anymore... they all cause bad side-effects for me mostly restlessness and allergies.
I feel more depressed since y'day eve. My tv needs to be fixed. I need to call the cable guy too. These would take over 2-3 weeks since now I can't go out of the house too often. This makes me frustrated.
Maybe I feel a little suicidal too.
I will try to look at the MAD IN AMERICA website...

I also used ativan and thought it helped with everything. It is not an antidepressant so it doesn't make my mood better, it is a chemical dance in my life. Tried many things. I'm back up to 15 mg of diazepam. Trying to cut it out
Apologies for the talking about meds but I'm so frustrated with never finding one that works for me. Little turtle, thanks for this bus.

I know I'm repeating myself, but, over time, the benzodiazepines have benefitted me much more than any of the various antidepressants I've tried.
I've had some success in minimizing my regular benzo dose, but I've reached a level beyond which I become too frequently subject to dangerous levels of anxiety.

Research suggests many of my symptoms relate to Dysautonomia.

I am suffering emotionally, mentally and physically

My life will never be normal again
