Re: RE: Darkness surrounds me
Hey @Former-Member I thought logging off earlier would help me also - but it didn't. I think it made me feel worse as I was all alone with my thoughts. So I am here again and listening if you need

Re: RE: Darkness surrounds me
Hi @Zoe7 with forum rules I can’t say what I need to get out. And I couldn’t talk last night. I tried again to get onto SCBC chat but gave up waiting after 40 minutes. Was making my anxiety worse. I didn’t allow myself the chance to have another nightmare so haven’t slept. Somehow I made it through the night to see another day.
I hope you got some sleep last night ❤️❤️❤️

Just a thought?
Have you tried, being Hypnotized, I don't know much about it really?
I posted the- Emergency Video- for Severe- Anxiety Attacks/Depression, yesterday for you. Did you try it as yet?
Love & Hugs

Thanks for the thoughts @Bubbles3 @Former-Member @Sans911 @Zoe7
Been at psychologist this morning, ok session. Just taking things minute by minute. Back in my safe place. Meds wrecking havoc on my body and mind. Why can’t they just work, why does it have to be so hard.
@Zoe7 I know you are having a crappy time, hugs hun💖💖
@Former-Member yes thanks I watched it💗💗
@Bubbles3 hope you are travelling today❤️❤️
@Sans911 sweetie, hope your day is ok, you know you are always in my thoughts 💜💜

Re: RE: Darkness surrounds me
I completely understand your frustration with meds @Former-Member - after 12 months now of trying different ones this is the scenario that has been consistent across all changes:
- new med introduced, take weeks to work, with that side effects have range from noticeable to severe, get to a point where there is slight improvement then no further improvement and slide backwards again
- try new med - and above point continues
The last meds were the worst - severe physical side effects and mentally in the darkest place I have been for months,
So now back on ones that help a little but they only help with being able to get through the daytime a little easier - the nights are still a major issue and a concern for everyone.
I too just want something that works - I don't even care anymore if I can't function during the day - as long as I can sleep, have no flashbacks or nightmares and feel like there is a chance that one day it will get better - because right now I can't see that at all.
So all I can do is sit with you, know how incredibly hard this is and feel for you - with you knowing I get it!

I have been watching & reading, is it the sleep you need help for?
If so, you can buy on line Passion Flower, tea, capsules, & powdered. This is all natural, nothing to harm you. Made from the Passion fruit flowers.
I recommend it 100%, it will help with Anxiety, & lack of sleep?
I had the same problem with a MAO Antidepressant years ago. My metabolism wasn't suitable to that med. I ended up in Hospital after 3 weeks of taking it. I was changed to an older type Antidepressant which worked fine. After a while I was gaining too much weight. Then when I was changed to Cymbalta a newer Antidepressant I lost all the weight & I have stayed on them since. It doesn't have a relaxant in it tho.
So if I need help sleeping I can drink Passion Flower Tea. I can also put it in food, if I don't want to drink it? Its better than Chamomile tea, much stronger.
Is this of any help to you, or to @Former-Member?
Love.
