Feeling Stuck!!

Feeling Stuck!!

Just lately I have been feeling really stuck because I feel like my medications aren't working properly or it's the stress of not having any support from my three sisters. I do have support workers but lately when I have really needed to talk they r either busy or they don't even bother ringing back!

I don't fully understand why at one point I'm a real emotional mess then at another point I am really pissed off and I feel like telling everyone to piss off especially my psych!

I guess you need to do what works for you- it's a safety net to call Lifeline when you need it.
You could tell your mum that if you need to.

@Rhumba You haven't said if you have private health insurance or not, so it's hard to try and point you in the right direction for support.
@utopia yes and medication and treatments are more effective for some and not others. With private insurance you can go in as an inpatient and they can monitor medication changed. I've been lucky with this and not had to do it, my psychiatrist is great and knows I can reduce medication at home and he completely trusts me to increase it again if there are problems.
I do understand the not all of us can do this, that is why is very important to have a great medical team, from your GP to you psychiatrist and everyone in between.

We also have to realise that family and friends get caters fatigue, it's very hard for them as well, they are not trained to deal with some of the issues we have and they also have the stresses that come up in thier daily lives.
Let's have a thought for our friends and family and thank them for just being there (mine aren't by the way).
