May I also add we have all been discredited by having a so called " Mental Illness" therefore it's going to be difficult for us push change because we are of course going to be labeled " Crazy"💕
Time Stamp: 21:36 Important point, I feel. My intrusive thoughts, terror themes…they are all based on past ‘trauma’’…large or small. Absolutely. I can see that my experience of terror…my ‘theme’ doesn’t ’match up’ with another’s. And , so the search to find someone experiencing it exactly like you…don’t believe it’s possible. However, I do not feel, for me, that I will have to revisit those things when on the other side. But, the injured mind is definitely throwing the most hurtful past situations at us…saying ‘look at this…remember this? Remember this scary thought or belief?’…along with random creepy, twisted stuff as well. Whatever is left at the end…I believe, will likely be viewed as something easily processed and put to bed. For good…or, just a non-issue after handling/enduring the hell we have. We will have healthy perspective back in our possession along with a lot of life experience and most of all WISDOM and COMPASSION…compassion for OURSELVES. Just my thoughts. Really, really enjoyed this. Love the energy and straightforward delivery. Thank you both. Much Love.
I love this, it's very insightful and inspiring, I too think we'll come out of this a stronger and more resilient if we do the work. Personally I've been running from my trauma for years but not this time, as painful and as uncomfortable as it is I'm finally facing my fears. Please take care of yourself and remember one day all this will be over for all of us
Even changing the Black Box Warning on Benzos is dangerous because many Doctors are afraid to continue to write prescriptions which leads to a Cold Turkey detox...🍀
The black box warnings did not transfer down to clinical practice. Barely any doctors are even aware of the change. The FDA does not have a mechanism to notify them.
Yey! I love this lady. But I am sorry, Joseph Wittdoerring may be doing something, but only for those with money. I found Dr. Lepp and he is a bit more flexible but equally none are covered by any insurance. Even if they were, not everyone has insurance or the type they may work with. It's a hopeless situation. If you don't have money, you are pretty much alone. When Michelle cried over the lost ones, I feel no judgement either and I know this is twisted but I even envy them in a way. This is beyond unbearable and nobody can help. Finding people to talk too is hard, even in the support groups because we are all drowning there.
Thank you! You are speaking the truth! I am grateful for my medication! It is time to taper off some more. I do it myself and don’t think I’m bat shit crazy doing it! The doctors want me to do it their way lmao! No way! They can’t tell me how I feel! Just quite you only on 20! It’s safe! For me I’ve had success counting beads - in this situation with these type pills. Slow and steady so my brain can adjust. And it does. Cold Turkey had me tripping!
The informed consent is the way but sometimes getting that info is hard . Here in Canada a pharmacy chain has been known to not give all the info on the paperwork with your prescription . My friend lost her daughter because of this missing info …..Look up Madi’s law in Canada
They’re isn’t any coming back. It’s been 22 months for me. My brain is fried scrambled. Still waiting to leave my parent’s house. I was taken off klonopin too abruptly after prescribed it for 12 years by a trusted doctor. I’ve been worse the past 22 months than I was while I was on it, I was fine the entire time on it. I had an ongoing anxiety attack prior to being on them and that’s why my doctor prescribed me
@@AngiePeacockMSW I don’t have a lot of time to do nothing and heal, I have a son to raise, elderly parents to take care of. I’m a divorced mom of a 7 year old son. Who’s been depending on my mom for the past 22 months now to help drive me and my son every where cuz I can’t see and have forgotten everything and can do the bare minimum. It was such a lie ppl saying at first I heal at 6 to 18 months then 18 to 24. I’m at 22 months now and only getting worse. If I were healing, my vision and brain wouldn’t be getting worse day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year. Who even knows if you even heal from what I’m even talking about?
My kid will never ever take an ssri or a benzo. Fuck no. He knows his mama is gone bc of them. He cant remember the real me and won't know her again but he has photos and stories. He will never let his wife take one either when he gets married. No meds for his kids. That's the only legacy I get to fucking leave him
But how to heal trauma of this. Been traumatized heavily for 10 years. Now i am affraid of every illness, etc that can push me into anxiety and depression and then doctors again.
Do you have any videos with people who had severe brain injury and recovered? Like mega severe and didn't even remember their own kids anymore brain ruined and tortured? Lots more but i domt want to list thebscary shit. Just trying to find something
Thank you Angie and Michelle for this amazingly informative and inspiring conversation. I love Michelle’s emotional and honest language and totally connect to her intensity. These are some next-level intense and traumatic experiences and the “intensity” is more than warranted. I appreciate this conversation on so many levels, so thank you for your time putting this together and being authentic. It helps me also feel hope that after 6 years post jump off my rapid tapers and dealing with neurological impairment that perhaps I can still recover more as well. One day at a time.
If they weren’t studied and tested to be used long term then WHY was I repeatedly told that I would need meds for the rest of my LIFE. This is wrong. 😢
This was really good to listen to. I’ve been having to listen to quite a few videos here recently, because my anxiety has been through the roof since I have to have surgery on Friday I’ve been putting it off for many years. I can go to the dentist though and get work done on my teeth with absolutely nothing but having a hysterectomy has really scared the fuck out of me because having an orgasm is all I have left that’s what has kept me alive with acathisia, I don’t care if that’s too much information. I am a very open person and I worked in the sex industry for over six years. I have actually also been in a little setback since I decided to take Sam E for a month after traumatic brain injury from a car accident on top of everything hopefully everything goes well. I don’t plan on getting any painkillers or anything just the anesthesia and that is it. I hope you have a great day. Thank you for all the videos that you do! I hope to one day get to talk with you. So far I get to have the psychological evaluation done by the forensic psychologist March 28 I don’t even know how that’s gonna go because everybody else seems to disbelief everything we go through. I plan on recording my final divorce hearing and the psychological evaluation.
I would love to join this conversation - dropping F bombs, venting, supporting, being REAL! Cuz this journey sucks - but I know there is hope!
I had no history of mental illness. but BOY DO I NOW!!!
May I also add we have all been discredited by having a so called " Mental Illness" therefore it's going to be difficult for us push change because we are of course going to be labeled " Crazy"💕
Yes and then they swear they respect your opinion but the truth is they think it's "mental illness" speaking. It is so frustrating and devastating.

I’d love to hear more about the story about how she went from not leaving the house in a year to getting on an airplane
The Anxious Truth Podcast, courage, she was at that place in her healing, and support from me and her other healing buddy.
It should be illegal to give children psychiatric drugs.

Please watching my latest upload. There is a lot of healing still ahead of you.

I have three little children (7, 5, 1). I’m in my taper off Lexapro now. I can’t afford to be unavailable for them.
That drug stole my sons mother for the last 6yrs. Evil fucking drug
I love your passion Michele, thanks to both of you for standing up for many and advocating for us all ❤
Beautiful and painful story of reclamation ❤️ thank you Angie and Michelle ✨💞✨
But how to heal trauma of this. Been traumatized heavily for 10 years. Now i am affraid of every illness, etc that can push me into anxiety and depression and then doctors again.
Was great to hear the wonderful outcome. ❤😊

Why is the best question to ask I would say the answer is MONEY.
@@AngiePeacockMSW yes, I believe you. You got it right on the money 😆
❤❤❤

Orgasms are about the only relief that sufferers of aka can get. No judgement from me!
Hi How did the hysterectomy go ? Did you do it bc of PMDD ?
BS Witt Doerring is way to expensive and can only do office work. If you are hospitalized he can’t help. I know my daughter is in hospital.
I was a sales executive too. Amazing salesperson. Got fucking sold a bill of goods.
Which compamy in Canada?
Outro
You are amazing Michelle. Do you do coaching? How can i reach you
I find the “mouth” offensive!
I can’t please everyone all the time. Feel free to not watch this episode.
