    Hey All
    I’ve been around a while and am on a new streak of about two weeks for the first time in a while. I’ve started meditating again but recently I have had the worst anxiety I have ever experienced. I’m on antidepressants and I have Valium if I need it but I’m loathe to take the stuff too regularly.
    I am exercising regularly, sleeping is so so and trying to read as well as practice bass. I guess what I want to know is, if you experienced strong anxiety, how long did it last for?

    I feel like I’m in uncharted territory and I have no desire to look at p and m but I do anticipate I will have cravings.

    When I identify with feelings of anxiety it sticks around. When I don’t identify with it then it loses its power.

    This is withdrawals, anti depressants will not work. Recovery will heal everything

    I see antidepressants as a Band-Aid so I’m doing what I can to ride this out and create space around it so that it isn’t overwhelming

    Tcm teaches self medicine so recovery as the main recovery, not symptome treating. Gabe deem never used medications for certain neurotransmitters and he did healed 100%. Stop believing doctors and trust yourself otherwise you will heal never. People used benzos and all crap and still did not healed because they trustee the so called medicines but neglected proper rebooting

    I’ve avoided taking benzos as much as possible. I’ve only taken them once when I was in a very very bad state. I’m on antidepressants for other reasons but I will be talking to my doctor about coming off of them
