What I want from recover most is freedom from myself, and my own toxic thought cycles.
You have some really great reason for wanting to recover and its these that should keep you holding on and fighting๐ช๐ผ๐

]]>I hope so too. It almost feels like too long, but having an eating disorder for over 10 years will make it difficult. x
]]>Thank you xx

]]>Thank you for your kind words. That means alot. x
]]>I remember we discussed the complication between ASD and MH services. It’s disgraceful! I can’t believe they would leave you without help for so long, especially considering the circumstances! Benzo’s are horribly addictive and harmful to the body! They really need to get their finger out and get it sorted!
]]>Nyxie – I keep asking for help lovey and they keep telling me no.
In 2015 I realised I had an addiction within around 3 months of starting benzos – you’re only meant to be on them for a max of 2 weeks but nobody told me this – I just kept being told to keep taking them so I did without questioning it.
I was given some (bad) advice on titrating down at home to come off them by my keyworker at the time but withdrawal got so bad it got to the point that my family was in danger as well as me so I stopped.
I’m on half the dose I started at but I’m too afraid to try again at home and unsupported – I’ve looked into private detox clinics but none of the local ones will take me because I’m Autistic and a “complex case” and I think I’ve told you about the current battle between ASD services and Mental Health services about who is supposed to be providing any kind of support. It’s also part of the reason I am so angry with MH services because I was promised a plan to get me off benzos and either trial med free or onto appropriate medication after my Autism assessment.
Sorry this has become a really long comment <3 I'm just so desperate for help with the physical detox and I've been begging for over 3 years now and bleurgh. The mental side I know I'll end up having to figure out in my own time anyway, I just need the help with the physical side.
I am so glad that you're healing from the laxative use and your digestive system is healing <3
