How do we get there if we don't know where we are going?

I couldn't tell you, one issue I have is I am either being bombarded by symptoms like hypervigalence, being tense/edgy and unable to get memories of things out of my mind ect....Or I can't feel much of anything in which case its hard to see anythings wrong but the emptiness is apparant.

The numbness is not recovery, just another symptom but it will likely go back to symptom bombardment once the numbness subsides...I don't even look at 'recovory' as a real goal I am more trying to find how to live with my state of mind as best I can.

I believe in recovery for you. And all of us. The numbness is the worst, but I remember a dayi walked to my car and realised something was different. Pain was missing. I didnt have to fight back pain and despair.

I remember begging my doctor to let me try naltrexone so the numbness would stop. Its the only medicine he refused me. In time the numbness did lift.

I believe you will recover. In the meantime, keep coping. Its a great thing you do. All of us.
