Safety

Safety

What do you do when you arent feeling safe but you dont want to go to the hospital and helplines arent working? Also what do you do when distractions and all of that stuff isnt working either?

pyhsically i dont feel great but mentally i actually feel a bit better off my meds also i messaged my treatment team and they have not replied so i am assuming they dont actually care which is fine i guess its not like they are helpful to me anyway. oh well it will be fine i am sure i am going to do some art i havent felt like art in ages this should be fun.

Re: Safety

Re: Safety

Just catching up on your day @Eden1919 That would be really frustrating not getting a reply from your treatment team - maybe it is simply a case of overwork and they haven't been able to get around to it yet!

I love that you have done some art - that is what I love doing most (apart from playing with Toby and Cat) but I do need to be in the right headspace to do it. I am still working on the painting formy sister - it is her birthday tomorrow so there is ZERO chance she will have it then lol

I agree with @Former-Member - keep drinking water to help with your headache - it does make a huge difference if you are sufficiently hydrated. Maybe try something simple to eat like soup if you are still having trouble swollowing buddy. Anything that can provide a little sustenance to keep your strength up.

thanks @Zoe7 and yeah art is good i like to paint and draw too. i am reasonably hydrated i did some exercise and that seems to have helpled the headache a bit i havent been able to speak to my doctor yet i was considering going to talk to the pharmacist but i am not sure if they would be helpful or not.

Hey @Eden1919 It couldn't hurt talking to the pharmacist - they may not be able to help but you can only try.It is great that you did some exercise and are hydrated - have you eaten anything yet?

Re: Safety

@Zoe7 i managed to eat some potato cause it is soft. i am starting to get really paranoid again though which is annoying but i still over all feel better without meds. i forgot to mention before i heard back from my treatment team they werent helpful but did say the doctor was away so i guess that explains a few things. i still feel weird though. and i have not had sucess with tonights dose either.

Re: Safety

could you try crushing it up in some potato @Eden1919?

In response to: Re: Safety

Re: Safety

i thought about that but one is a slow release and you arent supposed to crush those and the other i also dont know if it is ok to crush hence why i was condiering the pharmacy i will try again tomorrow i guess.

In response to: Re: Safety

Re: Safety

Oh yes - slow release meds should not be crushedup or broken open @Eden1919 Do try the pharmacy tomorrow. What else do you have planned for tomorrow?
