Something’s not right

Not Coping

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

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 , migrainey right now. I looked out the window and bam, a migraine got triggered. Probably too bright for my poor eyes. I’m probably exhausted from the emotional turmoil I was in. It’s probably the burn out effect. Experiencing depression and elevation simultaneously isn’t a good combination and can escalate to SI pretty quickly. I got out of it at least with PRN. I hope you are having a better afternoon 💖🫂

Re: Not Coping

What emotional turmoil has happened @creative_writer?

Wow, it can affect you just by looking outside. That must be difficult. I complain enough as it is when I get a headache. I'm confused about depression and elevation simultaneously. What does that mean?

Hey there @creative_writer thanks for the shout out 🙂

I'm having a relaxing day, watching TV and a half hearted search for a job.

I'm thinking of doing a mini pamper with face mask and foot soak too

@Birdofparadise8, I think my brain is fucked. It means mixed episode. I’ve taken PRN twice, on Friday and Sunday. Now I’m feeling the energy levels rising again, I don’t want to have to take PRN for the third time😖

@ENKELI, that sounds lovely. What are you watching? I love face masks, I’m thinking of doing one tomorrow after I exfoliate. I had a reaction to a skincare product so I’m trying to heal the breakouts from it

Your not fucked @creative_writer

Oh, do you mean a manic episode?

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 like a manic episode mixed with depression. It sounds bizarre but it’s so weird when it happens. It’s like you’re depressed but so overstimulated and energised. Worst combination for inducing SI because one actually has so much energy to plan it all out. I’m safe for now, but I need to get this under control or I don’t know if I can make it

Re: Not Coping

Are you able to talk to any of your supports to let them know what is happening @creative_writer

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I spoke to my psych today morning when I was better about how chaotic I things have been. I have a PSW call later in the week and also GP app. I’m hoping it’s gets into control soon or I might need a pdoc appointment earlier. I don’t want to have to increase my meds again, the antipsychotics can make you sleepy and it’s not fun
