Hi everyone.
If you remember me, I have been having an awful time both while on and during the tapering process. I mentioned last week that I was adopting a puppy and I finaly took him home on Wednesday. I named him Benzo because I expected that he would help relieve some of my anxiety.
Guess what? It is 100% effective for me!! I went form not sleeping more than an hour or 2 at a time averaging 4 hours a day to 6 to 8 hours of sleep (with Benzo lying beside me) the past two nights. During the day I just smile watching him.
I'm not getting much housework done but at least I'm interested in trying to do some work around here. Before Benzo, I didn't do much at all except walk around in circles wondering where to start.
My tapering is going well too, with the puppy to distracting me from my symptoms.
It's not for everyone, but it is working wonders for me.
Take care. You are all in my thoughts and prayers
