understood, thank you for your advises.

Everyone is different, and reacts differently to drugs. What triggers anxiety (and how we deal with dependencies) can generally speaking be tied to seasonal change, since you seem to have noticed a change in your mental health during the transaction from Spring > Summer I guess that could be a viable reason.

There could also be a number of other possible reasons, like maybe you went through some particularly tough challenges during that same timeframe, which had a stressful impact on you. Stress, in case you didn't know, is a very common form of anxiety.

Personally I experience a severe increase of anxiety during Autumn/Winter, my medical experience is a bit different from yours because during the time when I was using alprazolam to treat panic attacks, I didn't have it prescribed. I did keep a daily medical journal/diary where I included the week's dosage/mental health, mainly to keep track of my dosage. During the increased anxiety periods I kept the dosage steady and simply 'head-butted it' because it was still manageable thanks to the alprazolam. I was still obviously a mess and it was horrible, but it was doable. I reminded myself that adding withdrawals from bensodiazepines to the list of things that are ruining my life won't help me in any way.

Again, nobody can realistically answer your question (because of the previous reasons), but a good rule of thumb that helped me to keep my dosage intact without experiencing withdrawals is to always keep your bensodiazepine dosage as low as mentally possible. It is a drug that is designed to keep your head above water, not to keep your whole body afloat.

I hope that helps in some way.

good, now you should quit for 1 month 👌

Amazing! Keep it going!

Idk if you drink alcohol, if you do, try to refrain for a while. Alcohol intensifies the cravins insanely.

Thanks!

I'm chewing gums, thanks!

Thanks!

Do something to distract yourself, and occupy your hands. My Dad quit smoking by playing with a Rubik's Cube. I lost weight by playing guitar.

After you've learned to control the nicotine cravings, smokers often have trouble with cravings for hand-mouth gestures that have become strong habits, and that often leads to relapse. Something that occupies the hands can help keep that from happening.

I started that journey 8 years ago, it's really tough, but believe me, it's worth the effort.

Well done! I'm at 1021 weeks and the first was the hardest by far. The second was easier, and every week since was easier still. You have done the hardest part, it does get easier from here, and it will become normal to not smoke.

I'm to perfect to be addicted to anything, and i just proved myself to that i don't know can it be more amazing than that.

Let's goo!!!

Fuck yeah 🔥🔥

Next milestone ahead: 1 month. It'll feel amazing.

Thanks!

When i want to smoke I find doing a little exercise gives me a similar headrush

keep it up op, you're doing great

They identified managers who either had mental health issues themselves or came from struggling companies as the main “carriers” of mental disorders within a workplace.

You mean if your boss is miserable, you are going to be also? I guess you need to have numbers to technically prove something, but let's be honest it is nothing new.
Misery begets misery.

I wonder if it's like werewolfism, like if we can find the original depressed person and put a silver bullet in their head, will it cure everyone else's depression that they have infected?

It's worth a shot, right?

I was part of two categories. Now I'm part of three 🤣

Yeah. I follow it because I'm pretty sure my adult son has both.

There have been suspicions of a relationship for a while now.

What is AuDHD? 5 important things to know when someone has both autism and ADHD

It might seem surprising these two conditions can co-occur, as some traits appear to be almost opposite. For example, autistic folks usually have fixed routines and prefer things to stay the same, whereas people with ADHD usually get bored with routines and like spontaneity and novelty.

But these two conditions frequently overlap and the combination of diagnoses can result in some unique needs. Here are five important things to know about AuDHD.

That's actually pretty interesting. And I bet a lot of people are going to be interested in this bit:

The neurodevelopmental category, for example, includes both attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism, which psychiatric handbooks classify as separate conditions.

First of all, you need to find a therapist that has no connection to your mother. Then you need to explain everything that's happened, and hopefully they can help you sort out fact from fiction.

I wouldn't trust any kind of hypnosis, though. That shit is not reliable from a therapy standpoint. You may as well be analyzing your dreams, for all the clarity it will provide.

It sounds like you need to seek out a trauma and abuse specialist.

Because regardless of what actually happened, it was clearly abuse, and it clearly caused significant trauma.
