Not Coping

I don't have either of those @Jynx

I'm so worried I only have four days left of my sleeping medication I use for a PRN and I mostly only take it when I'm really distressed and can't sleep like last night. I don't know what I"m going do to because I had it planned perfectly that the pdoc yesterday would give me something else, but no he didn't.

Also, just generally I needed to add a new med as well. And also I am struggling so much. I'm still crying. I had uni today and a catch-up with my friend now I'm back it my room I'm upset again.

I called the CATT team at 1:45, but I haven't heard back from them.

Yesterday they didn't take this long to call me back.

How long would you wait to call them back?

I'm sobbing right now.

Oh no, I'm sorry @creative_writer I hope you bounce back quickly.

@Birdofparadise8 can very much understand the worry, not having the prn to turn to. It might seem like you'll be really struggling without it, but it's also very possible that you will be just fine. Chatting to your regular at KHL about this will hopefully help ease the anxiety too. And yeah, CATT will also hopefully get in touch soon. It may feel like you're out of options but you do have things in place already, and at the end of the day, taking yourself to ED is also always an option.

At least I could get a referral that way, but I feel bad about going there when it's not fully needed. I just need a referral from anyone at this point, and it should be fine @Jynx

I don't know; I'm still so upset and crying. I think about this and just my depression as well.

@Birdofparadise8 So if it's not fully needed, i.e. you feel you're okay enough to keep yourself safe for now, then that means you believe you're going to make it through this. You just gotta hold on, and keep doing the things you know that help - like chatting with us here, ringing KHL or other services when needed, and practicing self-care. You got this.

I still need the medication, though @Jynx.

@Birdofparadise8 Yeah I understand it's frustrating to have to wait to get the referral so you can access your meds. That's what I mean about holding on ya know? That if things really become completely overwhelming, you can head into ED. That's always an option while you're in this awful limbo waiting period.

Oh, okay I'm following you know sorry @Jynx.

I though you more meant with my SI.

Bit of both really, @Birdofparadise8. I imagine being unable to sleep could make SI worse, but knowing ED is always an option might also help you whilst you wait for the referral.
