Thank you for the suggestion. Actually, I should look into that, the legality of medical marijuana here. It seems like maybe it could be legal, but I have to find out.

I don't know much about the contemporary types of Marijuana, but I do know that the few times I've smoked it, it caused terrible dissociation (derealization) and anxiety for me. |

Hello Angelique67. I don't have phobias but I can understand the discomfort, anxiety/panic you are experiencing. Don't know if this would help but maybe you could try going up and down the stairs on your bum. This is the safe way people with injuries to their legs navigate stairs. This technique may work if your phobia is one of falling down the stairs but may not help if you're phobia is to the stairs themselves.
Wishing you well. |

When I climbed the stairs last Thursday, even with my friend right behind me, i started to panic when I was about halfway through them. If I panicked that much with my friend there, how much worse would it be without him? Thank you again. I'm just a scared ninny. ![]() |

Lost my dad this past week and my anxiety skyrocketed , I want to take the Ativan so badly to help ease my symptoms but I am afraid it will just lead me back to addiction. I am so proud I have been so far able to push through even with all the stress I have right now and really don't want to go backwards but i feel like i am stuck and can't go forward.
Today is hard and I just want to reach for it but I am going to do everything in my power not to.

The way you (general you) process new information/feelings etc, is not linear. It can take you to a height, and then let you go, falling back in and having to pull yourself back up. For the most part you are making progress though. ![]() |

Has anyone posted this web site for the best ways to come off benzos? http://www.benzo.org.uk/manual/
It can help to give some advice. |

80 days now no benzos.... I am going through some major stresses right now and it's probably the worst time of my life , My anxiety level is through the roof but even with the bottle within reach I was able to keep from taking it.
If I can get through these next few months without the benzos , I can get through anything without them.
