I went to look for therapy, but instead I got offered Oxazepam and Diazepam, because the waitinglist was so long that they 'hoped I'd just be fine with a pill.'
When my mom asked if they were addictive, they said they weren't and downplayed any effects.
Meanwhile, my across-the-street-neighbour had been addicted to Oxazepam and was now álso on Morphine, because she build up a resistance to it all.
The woman then actually wanted to give me Oxazepam, without a prescription, just to 'try it out' because she 'wanted me to enjoy my life and feel that warm, soft, snoozing and lovely feeling in my head, like a kitten being wrapped in a warm blanket.'
I said I'd think about it and they also offered me antipsychotica and antidepressants, while we were at it, because I really struggled with anxiety and they felt it'd help.
I did not take the drugs, but continued the search through the horrible state-therapists (that work 1,5 year and then drop you, for moneysake) and now I am paying out of my own pocket, but my therapist is actively helping and finally things are going well.
And also, talking was indeed the answer for the trauma, but the anxiety-issues were (partially!) caused by a thyroidproblem called Hashimotos. I only noticed that when I was already out of balance só far that I had near-anemia and fell on the floor 3 times, unable to properly breathe or speak and (already being skinny) having lost 10 kilos in a few weeks.
So thát has helped me inmensly and I cannot imagine the horror that would have occured if I had tried their Oxazepam out of the tiny pillbottle and liked it enough to keep on using it.
The only painkillers I use now are once-a-month (thyroidproblems usually cause heavy bleeding and severe cramps) and arguably, the painkillers are meant for surgery and they usually knock me out for 6 hours (because I respond heavily to pills to begin with) and then I get hungry and 'euphoric' and weirdly giggly and I suddenly start cracking great jokes, as if drunk.
But I am a responsible user and if I think I can handle a month without one, I do that. And I never, ever take more than one a month, ónly if I can't handle the cramps.
I have autism and ADHD as well, in general people with ADHD or Autism are prone to addictions, so I am extra careful with that. Luckily I somehow have a good tolerance for pain, so after jawsurgery I only needed 2-3 and did not finish the 10 pack (hence the reason I now use them for my menstrual cramps, with permission from my doctor, that is aware of my issues.)
