For me it was for a while, but once I could stand on my own I had to let it go in order to jump back into life. Now, I’m not saying you should quit your medicine if it’s medically necessary. The drugged fog was gone and I started to feel life again. One day I finally quit the Xanax cold turkey just to see what would happen, and you know what? I lived. At the time it was honestly a life saver, but I began to use it as a crutch even when the anxiety started to fade. If you know anything about Xanax you know it numbs your feelings so you don’t have to feel them. Feel the pain.Īfter the public shaming and online bullying, I took Xanax to cope. I did just that by going through the following five steps. It wasn’t until recently that I started to wake up from the fog and realize that I had to take back my life. I did the worst thing you could do I came to expect the failures, and with that expectation I kept failing. I let the punches hit me time and time again until I actually felt numb to them. Unfortunately, for four full years I did nothing. My family knew I needed help, but I knew nobody could pull me out of this tailspin. I had no idea what to do, where to go, or who to talk to.
#Coming back to life how to
The thing is, nobody ever tells you how to deal with extreme failure in life. I suffered through public shaming and online bullying, was crippled for six months with devastating anxiety and depression, gained fifty pounds, lost a lucrative job, and saw my marriage crumble before my eyes.
Through those years, life threw me punch after punch.
I guess I shouldn’t say I lived through those years. Living through the past several years of my life has been a humbling experience. “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” ~Nelson Mandela
