How I’m Doing Now Aka Recevery Without Perfection

TL;DR
I was this close to losing my job and my family. Now things are stable, my body feels like mine again, and I sleep. Not perfectly, not every night, and yes there are still bad days with the zaps and the noise sensitivity and the fatigue, but I am not white-knuckling through my own life anymore. What helped: sleep entrainment, therapy, some CBT that actually applies to a nervous system, a small sleep aid, exercise when my body cooperates, and flumazenil, which was honestly the biggest thing and the reason this whole blog exists. There is no miracle cure but some things can help us heal.
