I'm exhausted. I'm tired of spending my mornings trying to calm down...I feel like I'm wasting my life.

I know I'm still struggling with benzo withdrawal. I know it will get better. I just get tired of fighting. Why do I have to put all my energy into relaxation techniques and mindfulness and all that stuff when it should be something natural? Our bodies are not meant to be stressed out 24/7! There used to be a time when I could find happiness in little things. When I could laugh and it wasn't forced or fake.

Ok I'll stop...sorry about the rant. Not having a good day...again
When voice says use to calm down, think about how much worse the anxiety is the next day. You have to practice before you become expert. Baby steps. I hope tomorrow is a better day hugs Patricia
