Changing meds

Changing meds

Hi. I battled MDD & acute anxiety nearly all of my adult life. I've been on numerous different SSRIs, SRNIs, antipsychotics, tried rTMS & ECT. Am addicted to a benzo for my anxiety.

I am in the process of swapping out from a SRNI to a MAOI and the wash out period is hell. I really don't think I'm going to make it. This is the darkest place I have ever been.
I have no family support, honestly no friends, not able to work & are completely isolated.

i don't feel my medical team actually care much anymore, they are overwhelmed by new clients because of covid.

i hardly sleep, but the last thing in my mind before I do, is how much I want to die. It's the first thought of the day when I wake up.

what if this new medication doesn't work either??

8.5 hours later, no Tradie. Won't answer calls or messages and can't get another tradie. Was so stressed about everything, all I could do for ages, was lie on the bed deep breathing @Snowie

Found some fight and went for a shop. Now I'm exhausted. How's your day going? 💜

Thanks for understanding @Maggie 💞

We've had heaps of rain. Flooding in areas close by.
Sun is out now. How's your little doggie? I read about her being at the vets. I really hope she'll be ok.

Need a cuppa.
One for you, Maggie, Snowie, @WIP and anyone else around 💞

Hi @Former-Member ... good to see you sweetheart. Sorry to hear about tradie ... so annoying, especially this time of year. Most tradies wind up at christmas and dont come back until mid January. Could be waiting for a while now if he hasnt turned up again today. I am waiting to see the picture you've posted here, but pending that ... I'd love to have a cuppa with you ladies here @WIP @Anastasia @Snowie @Maggie and anyone else around.

We had a big storm go through here this arvo too ... heavy heavy rain ... 27mms in under half an hour. Water running everywhere because the ground is already very wet. Had a river torrent raging across our front yard for a while. Nice.

@Former-Member that is just rude that the tradie didn't come back and finish of the job.

Sounds like it was a struggle to get out of the house but you did it, you should be proud of yourself hun.

Will gladly have a cuppa with you @Former-Member and @Emelia8

My day has been ok. Have just cooked dinner so they can have it whenever they like. Just have to heat it up which I am sure they can manage themselves 😒😒

Having a cuppa now and already in my pj's!!

Just made a pot of tea @Emelia8 Lovely to see you.
I am without a shower. Can't believe he didn't turn up. Still won't answer phone. I really hope he comes tomorrow. I've had a lot of trouble sleeping because of this. Anyway, time to try and relax. Super busy at shops. @Snowie

Re: Changing meds

A pot of tea sounds nice @Former-Member

Hopefully he comes tomorrow to finish the job off.

It would have been busy at the shops. Need to go tomorrow and dreading it. Might try and go super early to avoid the rush.

In response to: Re: Changing meds

Re: Changing meds

Yes, early morning or late night shopping might be best @Snowie

Full of tourists here. Everyone seems to be coming here, since the borders opened.
Fairly quiet in my estate. Can hide until I need food.

Re: Changing meds

Good Morning! Have you had any luck with the tradie @Former-Member

I hope he's not one of those horror stories you hear about only doing part of the job and not returning because he's already been paid.

I've used the hipages app/website before and can recommend as I've always had a good experience. Good Luck!

Happy Saturday to @Snowie @Emelia8 @Maggie and anyone else passing through.
