Well, gosh, what day is it again? I'm still having trouble keeping track of the days... they go by without me really noticing them with my odd sleeping patterns... and I seem to be less aware of what is going on around me... and my moods have been wierd, almost like frequent emotional trauma without any real external source for it... and I'm starting to have more level 9 and 10 panic attacks.
Anyway a reader of the site sent me some links about Benzodiazepines, a class of medicines frequently prescribed for short-term anxiety relief that also have side effects of addiction, withdrawal symptoms, and... as with many other medicines for anxiety, the risk of making anxiety worse and not better. Sucks, don't it?
Anyway, if you want to learn more, here are the links:

AND HOW TO WITHDRAW
I also recently read the full unabridged version of Flowers for Algernon... and boy that book just really struck me, I can see so many parallels to my own life... from my point of view the book tells the story of a young man struggling to balance his emotional maturity and his intellectual maturity. It's the kind of book that I think most people can get something from.
