Re: Uny?u still here? I need some answers please..
Deep breathes, Nola - you are "reacting" and stressing, and that stressing is tightening up EVERYthing and making it worse. You know your 'reaction thing' started with that tincture.
I know, I KNOW - it's scary...but it's nothing you haven't lived through before. It will pass, I promise, I really do promise.
I'm serious now, I want you to close your eyes and take a huge deep breath through your nose, and exhale slowly through your mouth...do that 5 more times (and silly, put the bp cuff away :::grin & a hug::::
Your poor lil' GABA receptors are still REALLY compromised. You are worried to death about this liver flush; you want to be able to do it SO bad, and you want it to work SO bad. You skipped your castor oil &
coffee enema yesterday (I'm not upset, I know you were sleeping good), but all those lil' things count when you're as compromised as you are.
All of this "wanting to do it" and "wanting it to work" and worry and concern...even though it's not stress like a drive-by shooting or something, it's still a LOT of stress on those poor lil' GABA receptors. They are trying so hard to keep you calm, but they really REALLY need your help!
Breath again, 5 reps, in & out. Tap Tap Tap - even though I'm experiencing this and it's scaring me, I love myself and accept myself completely. Tap Tap Tap - even though I'm worried sick about this liver flush; even though I'm stressing out; even though I'm in pain...you know the drill. Give those GABA receptors some help. You guys are a team...and they're the weak ones right now (yes, this is partly the benzo damage)...so you need to stop stressing them out and start giving them some help. They'll calm down if you'll calm down...I'm SURE of it. (I've never lied to you before, and I'm not lying now :)
When you get your team calmed down, before you drink your liver/citrus, I want you to tap tap tap: even though I'm afraid of being nauseous & freaking, I'm not going to do that...and I love myself and accept myself completely. That will make the flush potion go down SO much easier.
You've got it all together Nola - you really do. It's just that you care so much about doing it right and worried about it not working right, that you've overstressed your GABA receptors.
You've got control...calm yourself like you would have calmed your daughter if she had a nightmare. What you did for her, you can do for yourself :)
This is going to work; it's going to help you ...you..can..handle..it :)
Big hugs-
Unyquity
