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: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, can you call up to get a sooner appointment, I know many pdoc are happy to have more regular appointments when their clients are in a crisis. There is always ED if needed, I once went to ED when one of my meds made me too suicidal, the dose of my other med was increased in ED and I settled after then. Seeing your GP sounds like a good idea too

Re: Tw Not Coping

Dear @Birdofparadise8 @Kyle1 ,

I thought I should chime in and refer you back to the SAFE Guideline which asks members to refrain from discussing specific medications. You can refer to the Guidelines here: Guidelines & Info - SANE Forums

It is important for members to speak to professionals about medications and what suits your particular needs.

If you have any concerns, please feel free to email team@saneforums.org

Re: Tw Not Coping

no, not me @Birdofparadise8

Doesn't make me drowsy. I guess because I take so few mg's ??....

Re: Tw Not Coping

That was the earliest I could get @creative_writer he didn’t even seem concerned about last week and how I was literally planing to end it all. Though it was free through the uni so I’ll just have to stick it out with him. I’ll see my GP Friday I think.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Ah okay sure think @Kyle1

Anyway probably should talk about something.

I don’t understand myself so I’ve been in a peak distress for like an hour and half and not it’s stoped and I’m not crying and going to have some dinner. It will probably start back up again but it’s weird how things work like that.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I’m sorry. Is he the only pdoc at uni? I know everyone is different, I have found med changes to be really helpful lately in eliminating my SI urges. I’m not perfect, but better than I have been for a long time. Med changes do need to be monitored too

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yes he is which sucks @creative_writer

The wait for a private one was even longer.

I probably should have gone to ED last week with how bad things were.

He also said I might have Bipolar Depression meaning I would need to take a mood stabilizer instead.

Re: Tw Not Coping

He also didn’t look at any information I sent before the appointment @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, you can always get referred to a private one and call up to let them know how much you’re struggling, they might be able to fit you in sooner
