I am going through medication withdrawals at the moment.
I feel so shittt.
It's only day 2, and i feel like i can't do it. I have months ahead of slowly tapering the medication.
Ahhhh. Everything hurts. I'm shaking. Im nauseus. I'm dizzy. My tinnitus is terrible. I swear I'm seeing things...
I don't know how to deal...

@The-red-centaur i know you are struggling so much right now and for that I'm sorry, i wish i had the answers you seek. But you do have a reason to stay, you are a valued member of this community and it wouldn't be the same without you being here.
You have helped me through moments when I thought i couldn't go on, just by chatting to me and showing compassion. That's meant so much to me even more so cos I know how much you are struggling yourself.
I'm here for you, we as a community are here for you.
Please hang in there, lean on your support worker, reach out to crisis services. Do what you need to do to get yourself through this cos you matter and you are important. ❤️

@Former-Member thank you so much for your kindness. It means a lot to know that my life is more than I thought it was.
Im sorry if I upset or triggered you. It was not my intention to hurt anyone. I hope you are ok.
I'll be ok. It will get better again. I just have to trust the process, and lean on the supports available to me.

@The-red-centaur I've been thinking about you alot over the last few days. I know what it's like to be struggling so much so I want to make sure you know that you aren't alone.
I'm ok, you didn't trigger or upset me. I was just really worried about you so I'm glad to hear from you.
Things will definitely get better again and I know trusting the process can be hard. But baby steps is the way to go and little by little things will get easier.
We are always here for you whenever you need. Stay strong and you've got this ❤️

@Former-Member hugs.
My words aren't finding me properly today. Its been an intense few days. I might not be around as much over the next week. Don't worry about me, I'm in safe place (physically, and hopefully mentally soon)
Stay strong.
