I decided to start a new thread, my new chapter in my life is going to focus on healing my traumas, building resilience and self-worth and taking the steps of achieving mood stability. I am praying this year will be better than the last. Last year the SI got really intense, was so close to losing hope and I felt like my heart was breaking into a million pieces like shattered glass. It all still feels overwhelming, I have a long way to go on my healing journey, but I think I'm starting to feel a bit more hopeful about the future.

Hi @creative_writer ,
Sorry to hear this. It sounds so hard tonight.
Are you able to phone someone to talk to them tonight?

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together
@tyme, I can’t bear waiting on the phone tonight, too agitated for that, I need to take my night meds, I usually settle after taking my meds, it’s just a bit early to go to bed though, trying to self-soothe right now. I am sorry for being a mess lately, I don’t know what’s gotten into me

My anti-psychotic has been increased too @creative_writer. If how you are feeling is a mess then that’s ok. You have been supporting me through my mess!

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together
@Captain24, I didn't even say much 🤔. @tyme I've been acting strange for a few days now, I hope it doesn't last much longer. I am feeling really confused about my mood though, I used to associate feeling really energised with feeling euphoric, now I am energised and depressed.

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together
I haven't spoken to you for a number of days now as I've only just started for this week, but have you seen a doctor or something @creative_writer ? It just doesn't sit right that this is happening without a valid reason....

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together
@tyme, I’ve seen my pdoc today who suggested upping dose of antipsychotic since things are getting a bit out of control. Agitation mixed in with depression increases suicidality. Maybe it’ll make sense in time. I just hope new doses don’t wipe me out, drowsiness is a side effect

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together
Give it time. You body will take some time to adjust to the new dose @creative_writer . Fingers crossed that things will improve very soon.
You deserve to have some relief from this.

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together
I’m going to call it a night, meds have made me really drowsy. Good night @tyme, @Captain24, @Shaz51, I hope you all rest well💖🫂

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together
I feel so sick, a migraine😣. I've applied for an extension for one of my assignments, both were due on Monday. High energy states (both positive and negative states) are never good for migraines, at least the anxiety and agitation are settling a bit, but not 100% gone
