Something’s not right

Piecing the shattered glass together

Piecing the shattered glass together

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.

Awwh, thanks for the hugs @Shaz51 - I'm okay, I guess everyday can't be rainbows and sparkles lol.

Glad to read you are both feeling a little better. Hopefully the sleepless nights will get sorted soon - changes in medication can have an affect on sleep I believe.

Hope tonight is a more restful one for you both 😴

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together

@Shaz51 @FloatingFeather, my day has turned upside down. The agitation has returned, why aren’t the meds doing their job? It’s hard enough to be depressed? But I feel like right now I’m experiencing depression on stimulants 😒.

@Shaz51, I hope you and Mr Shaz feel better soon 💖🫂

This song signifies my relationship with my traumas 😢. As if depression wasn't enough, these traumatic memories won't leave. It's so much harder to shake these memories if things feel rough, I can't seem to make peace with these memories.

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together

Why can't my brain choose? Either be depressed or either be wired and energised. I know it's capable of choosing. This is torture 😠. I don't even know what I feel anymore. This is so f***ing annoying. When will this torture end? I have been struggling with this since Friday, though I may be a bit better with upped med dose, it's still a struggle

My head feels like it’s on fire, just what I needed before my pdoc appointment, I don’t want to completely fall apart today

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together

@Shaz51 and @Captain24 my mind is going crazy 😭. I can’t live like this, this is torture. I had the Pdoc appointment, he wants to increase my antipsychotic a bit more, I am a mess
