Hi. Thank you for your posts and emails just thought I would check in. I am still here for the moment, don't worry about me. I appreciate your concern. I still don't think there is anything out there for me though. I have plans in place. For now though I am here.
I hope you are all well and going along great. This forum has some really great people and is very supportive. 💜

Thank you @NatureLover I am tired. I don't think my meds are working as I am having very dark thoughts unfortunately.

Oh gosh, @Lilly6 ...how long is it now that you've been on them? Maybe they are still to kick in fully? I am really sorry to hear about your dark thoughts... When is your next psych appointment?

Hi @NatureLover I think it's been about 3 weeks now so should have kicked in. I felt quite calm and stable until yesterday and then steadily declining. Last night I was actually considering options to act on thoughts which hasn't happened for a while. Today I feel tired and numb.
I think my next therapist appointment is Wednesday.
I hope you are well and coping with lockdown.

I think some meds can take up to 6 weeks to kick in fully, @Lilly6 ...I'm hoping that's the case with yours. I'm definitely hoping for some improvement, it's not good that your thoughts have been declining since yesterday and becoming darker and stronger... I really hope it's just a quick thing and they come back up.
I'm glad your next therapist appointment is soon...
I'm coping OK with the lockdown so far, thanks.

Thanks @NatureLover up to 6 weeks?? 😬 I don't think I can last that long.
Glad you're coping with the lockdown

Yes, I always thought it was 2 weeks, but since joining the forums I've learnt differently. 6 weeks seems to be the time frame. You'te half-way there, @Lilly6 and there is hope for more improvement...

@NatureLover I don't think I can last another 3 weeks if things don't improve. Having pancakes so hopefully that might help

Pancakes always help 🙂
We are here to help you through it, @Lilly6 , and hopefully things will start to improve more for you...

Thank you @NatureLover the pancakes were nice my son and I enjoyed them.
Can't lift my mood, so tired of this. I feel like it is always going to be this way. I don't want to do this anymore.
