Not Coping

Hey everyone how are you all?

@RiverSeal @Shaz51 @NatureLover @tyme @Former-Member @Eve7 @Former-Member @amber22 @Jynx @FloatingFeather

I'm not doing great at all today. I'm feeling down. I also keep beating myself up for everything and feel like I'm just failing. I need a break from everything. It's getting so hard that I don't know how to keep going anymore especially since I can't talk to anyone around me as they are leaving me or don't understand.

Hope you don’t mind me reaching out I just really need a chat and though I could come on here and vent and talk for a bit.

Thank you

Hi @Birdofparadise8, I didn’t realise mood stabilisers were used for depression. I’ve just been resting up. I hope your day goes okay

Hey @creative_writer

Yeah, I didn't know either. I'm assuming we are talking about the same one (L).

I think my Pdoc wants my blood levels at 0.6ul. What do you have yours at?

Re: Not Coping

Hey @tyme

Did you get my reply to your email?

How has your day been?

I've been crying and hating myself. I've just been to Ringwood at a shopping centre, and I am going to a cookie shop. I hope I won't crash when I get back to the hospital. I also had a blood test this morning for the new mood stabiliser I am on. Did you know they can be used to augment antidepressants?

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I don’t take the L one. I take the one that is also used for migraine prevention. They have a blood test for mine too because there is an optimum level but it doesn’t need to be done too often

Re: Not Coping

Ah okay @creative_writer

I have a bit of a tremor in my fingers which is annoying I hope it goes away. I've told a nurse this morning and she will let my Pdoc know.

How are you today?

Re: Not Coping

Heya @Birdofparadise8 ,

I’ll reply to your email shortly.

As for meds, I’ve been on anti-depressants, mood stabilisers, anti-psychotics… the lot.

All I know is what worked and what didn’t work lol.

Glad you could get out today. Enjoy your cookie! I love anything choc choc and choc but I can’t have too much.
