you know what Luc, what you are going through now IS the extreme w/d in my opinion, you live everyday with anxiety and fear, THAT is enough THAT is severe, I know what your saying about the VERY acute stuff, when I first did this failed RI I felt the acute w/d that is on its way for me when I come off this RI again. At that point I couldnt speak, I had what I now recognise as Akathesia, I was wetting myself and didnt know who I was.

That is what is in store for me for months and months on end

What I am going through now is less acute than that but its no life, I am afaid of my own darling child, afraid to sit downstairs, I spend my life in the bedroom because Im alone in here but still the anxiety rages...

I imagine that is where you are now, and it is no life

I am so angry that ANY of us have to go through this, we are innocent and do not deserve it. You have suffered ENOUGH and its just not fair.

In a years time when I am still in acute w/d from this failed RI there is one thing that will shine a ray of hope on my own recovery, and that will be reading your success story, I know I WILL read it one day and it will be the sweetest words I will ever see.

and yes your right, there is probably no time limit to healing, I should think that we will continue to heal for the rest of our lives...Charlie G said he was physically healed at around 7 years but it took a further 5 years to overcome the trauma, I should think alot of healing was still taking place during those 5 years.
