Category My Experience

My anxiety crisis began in October 2021, but during the summer I had warning signs of the storm that was brewing.

A few years ago, at the worst point of my anxiety, I found refuge in an online forum dedicated to benzodiazepine withdrawal. Now, it’s time to send them a message of hope.

I had always been shy. Cold. Individualistic. Not social at all. It took me decades, and an anxiety breakdown, to understand that it had nothing to do with my personnality.
