I'm at work, so I'm safe enough for now.
I feel miserable. I haven't spoken more than two words to anyone all week.
And on Monday I decided I will die. Don't have a solid plan. Or a solid date for it.
I am so tired. Tired of pretending I am okay. Tired of living.
Sorry for whinging, I just need to write/say it.

Sorry to hear you have to wait until Tuesday @Crazy_Bug_Lady .
I am feeling the same way with the tired. I'm have not got out of bed still today, not for food, water or medication yet. My brain is hurting so much that I'll have to get up soon.
I know medication isn't everything but I think I've heard you say it helps you. I'm sure once things kick in like they are meant to again it will help. There are people in real life and on here who would miss you too as well as all your animals if you left. I would be one. You often make me smile here.
I know it sucks when people tell us to hold on but being on here it makes more sense to me now and I hope you find a way to trudge through too. I'm sure there are some good times around the corner when you least expect them. Please take care, sending best wishes and hugs💜😊

Hi - It is so hard to feel like that, leaving my house is a nightmare and can take 3 hours to somehow prepare. I wil procrastinate, have palpitations and start to do the shake thing. I have been of work all wek as the super meds they put me on in the ward are making me sick++
I so hope that you can overcome how you feel, I have had 2 years of absolute fear and understand what a devasting impact it can have on your self estem, your confidence and your identity. Please remember you a person with all the good traits, the not so good stuff and not just a dianosis

@Former-Member I take them as a mood stabilizer mostly, but the PDoc says they should help my sleep. TBH, they do a bit I suppose... Once I'm asleep I generally stay asleep most of the night.
Managed to have a shower (first one all week 
) and made it out to get my scripts as I don't have any meds for tonight. And after what happened when I tried to cut back one of the meds (with PDoc assistance) I'm not game to miss any doses. Except there was a mixup, and I didn't have any repeats on the nighttime one. 
Thankfully the pharmacist gave me enough to see me through till I see my PDoc. I'm glad the pharmacist was helpful, when he said he can't give me those meds I was ready to breakdown...
Thanks @Bast hope you're feeling a bit better soon.

Far out crazy bug lady, I can't believe the unnecesary aditional stress you have had to go through. Please remeber that you achieved the meds regardless. It is truly horible and exhausting to play pretends. I have the joy of repeatedly telilng peiople I am 'feling good' at work and acting acordingly.
I am very concerned about you - can you reach out to a real person in your life or at least consider the online/phone options for support?
Lotsa luv Bast
