Hey @hiddenite
I often wonder what is normal and do I want to be normal? I think I prefer to be ordinary..because being ordinary means I can do what other ordinary people would do..and my feelings will improve along the way..
I needed sedation when I was unwell just to stop my brain whirring 24/7
I was weaned off them as my thoughts and feelings improved..and that took around 2 weeks...really assisted with the obsessive thoughts I was experiencing..
Took another 6 weeks to wean off the sedating meds..but was a necessary step for my wellness in the long run..
Gentle hugs for you Karen, come sit by the fire tonight. I think @ Elke has the warm fire going tonight..
