Benzo & antidepressant withdrawal: A hope message for those with severe mental symptoms

TRIGGER WARNING*
I received several messages about doing a video with a hope message for those suffering from severe mental symptoms from benzo/antidepressant/antipsychotic withdrawal/adverse reactions.
If you have been following my journey, you will know that I had VERY severe mental symptoms for a very long time.
I do get into the details of what my mental symptoms were like because I know others are suffering from the same I want them to feel less alone. Mental symptoms remain a taboo subject, they are disturbing and there is still a huge stigma attached to them. They are real and they can very much develop from taking or withdrawing from psychiatric drugs.
I never had anything like this before taking psychiatric drugs. What I did have was very mild and never interfered with my life like it did once withdrawal began. Benzos made my symptoms 1000x worse than they already were from the cessation of antidepressants.
But...eventually the clouds lifted and my "normal brain" turned back on. And it happened rather quickly for me. And it can for you too. No matter how bad things seem right now, they can and will turn around.
Of course, our minds don't loop on cupcakes and rainbows and butterflies, but rather on those things we value most and in the most twisted ways possible.
Please don't give up hope. As your nervous system calms down, your mind eventually does too.
