COMING OFF TRANQUILLIZERS: CHOICES

If there is no organic reason for your emotional illness, or if you are over the early months of withdrawal, you can “choose to be well. This involves looking after your whole being not just your body and it may be necessary to change the way you think. First ask yourself if there are any rewards in staying ill:

Does being ill bring more care and attention from others or protect you from issues you are unwilling to face? Are you avoiding rejection/going out into the world/being an adult/admitting you are with the wrong partner? Because of the illness are you able to avoid responsibility/ risks/social interaction/a sexual relationship/failure or physical effort?

If you are not doing any of these, are you hanging on to sadness or hurtful feelings from the past in order to justify the way you are?
