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??

Are you ok @WIP ?

In response to: Re: Changing meds

Re: Changing meds

Yes, I'm ok @Anastasia

Decided to take meds early and

go to sleep.

I started to watch Red Dog, but Levi barks at any dog or animal on the tv, so it became impossible to watch!!

Sending you live dear @WIP

It is cute, but does get a little annoying at times. Plus he's frightened me if occasionally, if I'm in the kitchen or another room and the tv is on and an ad with dogs, any other animals or even cartoons come on - he's barks and runs around silly.

He even knows the music for the RSPCA and a flea/tick ad that has lots of dogs in it. If he's away from the tv, he'll bolt up to it yapping away.
So, he's a smart little fellow. @Anastasia 🐶🐾

Re: Changing meds

Oh gosh I hadn't thought of it frightening you, yes I would be the same, I jump at my own shadow. He is such a cutie 🤗🐕 I will think of you both and smile now when I hear the RSPCA music.i hope you have a good day @WIP love you lots x

Re: Changing meds

@Anastasia Yes, I'm quite nervy and can get a fright easily. I'm getting used to him doing now though. You would be surprised how many ads have animals or cartoons in them!!!

His latest favourite is the Celebrity Jungle

one - he goes crazy waiting for the kangaroos at the end.

I hope you have a nice day too. I've been awake since 5am so it's going to be a long afternoon. ❤️❣️❤️

Oh gosh! So many!

Do you watch it? A bit over the top, sometimes I do. I think I'll put it in just to see who the celebrities are. Bf thinks Roy and HG but I think Hamish and Andy.

Beautiful weather here today (I'm still in bed) boys giving me grief about going out and staying over at a mates. I feel like a broken record saying no not this side of New year's to keep Dad safe. Once we have had dinner with dad on New year's Eve they can choose to go out and not see him. Sad and shallow if that's what they decide but having to continually explain the reasons why is doing my head in.

I'd like to go for a bike ride today but not likely as bikes aren't charged and bf doesn't seem keen to leave the couch. Time will tell. Suppose I should at least surface. X

I have watched Celebrity Jungle in the past, it depends on who is in it. I enjoyed last year.

I haven't really been able to hear any of the clues yet, because Levi is yapping away at the ad.

Has there been a clue indicating a 'duo' will be there?

I've only just migrated from bed to the couch. I cleaned the kitchen up, now I'm being a couch potato. It's very overcast and muggy here today - it's due to rain later.

I imagine you feel like a broken record with your boy. I've found some of the younger ones, just don't get the severity of this virus and how easily it can be transmitted. Just heard on a news break, Sydney has 7 new cases today - not good. But at least your numbers are no where near as high as Melbs got. Your boy will get sick of asking soon.
Enjoy your bike ride if you go - sounds like fun

Levi is desperate for a walk, but I'm not so keen❣️❤️❣️

In response to: Re: Changing meds

Re: Changing meds

Yes a comedy duo. Lol perhaps we can watch it together and I can translate while Levi makes his noise 🐕😊✔️

Yes I do feel like a broken record. Frustrating.

Bike rides not likely as I've gone back to bed highly unmotivated to move really. Not good but *sigh.

So many things I should be doing but just can't bring myself to be bothered.

Big hugs @WIP ❤️🐕

Re: Changing meds

We can watch it together for sure, that'd be good @Anastasia
It's alright to have a lazy day. I'm doing exactly the same - can't be bothered doing stuff I know I should, but watching Netflix instead.

Big hugs to you too 🤗🤗
