As usual I'm not sure what you're getting at. I am not anti-med nor anti-psychiatrist, and I follow no fixed ideology.
>im just rationalizing poorly when i show up at emergency rooms at 3 am complaining of a stroke and passing out repeatedly due to hyperventilation and having a blood pressure so high im asked more than once "so you walked into the emergency room on your own".
That's right. Poor rationalization. You're not having a stroke - that's your imagination. I know the feeling since I too suffered panic attacks and extremely high blood pressure when I quit clonazepam cold turkey.
>The benzos that i take are an extension of this ideology.
The benzos that you take are just chemicals relax both your body and your over-active imagination during a crisis. They are not part of an ideology unless you choose to make them so.
>By the way im in CBT/talk therapy and have been previously.
Good to hear.
