This is my first day on the forum.
i am desperately awaiting my Dr’s appointment tomorrow as my MH as spun out of control lately.
this has not occurred for so long that I’m really scared. I haven’t been on medication for over 20 years and thought this would never occur again.
somehow I’ve entered a deep black hole with voices coming at me from everywhere.
i am going to tell my Dr everything that I have not spoken about in over 20 years.

@Eve7 I'm so sorry. I really hope you're ok, and that the GP can help you. I hope your appointment goes well. I know how daunting and anxiety provoking it can be. Best of luck
Maybe if you don't feel comfortable speaking about things, you could write it down in a note and give it to the GP? Up to you, just a suggestion

Thank you. That’s a great idea as I am so full of fear about what she’ll say.
25 years ago I was diagnosed with schizophrenia and I have been really well for so long with no meds.
Im spinning out at what she might say when I tell her my history but I feel that I have to before I go down any further.

@Eve7 just a reminder to put @ and type someone's username so they get notifications.
You're welcome. I don't think she would judge you, she's not allowed to do that. If she does, you have every right to change GPs and complain, but of course I hope that doesn't happen

@Eve7 It is so difficult when you descend into that darkness again after so long. I can relate as it was many, many years for me between my last period of major depression and the present one. I did not see it coming but I got really sick, was bed bound with illness for a few weeks then depression, anxiety and CPTSD hit full force. In retrospect it was coming before I got sick but tried to push through rather than dealing with it. You have the advantage now of seeing it coming and are seeking help - that is both both self awareness and self care.
As others have said - writing things doen is a great idea - I did that for both my GP and psychologist - mainly because I was so deep into that darkness that I could not talk. Take your time with your GP and let them know everything that is going on for you - it is so importsnt we are honest with our health professionals so we can get the righ support.
Lastly - welcome to the forum - I hope you find it the caring and supportive place that I do

@Zoe7 thank you so much for responding.
if I can just get through tonight with all these voices I’m sure I can get help tomorrow.
i know I’m in the deepest pit but surely these voices will go away soon.

Hi @Eve7 , just thought I would pop in a say hello. I am hoping that you are ok today and get some help from your GP.
My own MH, was going along just fine until December now it's a complete mess. I didn't see it coming, I am so glad you where able to recognise it and have been brave enough to seek support as soon as you could. 💐

@Dockers6 thanks for your concern. I’m safe in hospital. Won’t talk now for sometime
