Withdrawal from Klonopin, Day 9

I had REAL difficulty sleeping last night.   Sometimes Klonopin withdrawal can cause respiratory symptoms.  That is what's bothering me now.  We were hit with a big snowstorm last night, so...the gym is closed.  They're still digging out at the barn...not a lot of ways to distract myself.  I did go outside to play with Bree, my Malamute, and took some really nice photos of her.  I attempted to post them here, but I can't seem to find them....Don't know what's up with that.  Sometimes I think about people with chronic illnesses.   People who live with daily pain...and I feel like such a wimp.  Eventually, my body will eliminate this drug after the taper.  Those with MS, Fibromyalgia, Cancer....Their pain never goes away.  I have to remember that when all of this is really getting me down.  It has been said that true strength is in the mind.  I believe that.
