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??

Goodnight @Emelia8

I am sorry for reaching out to you and myboy specifically, it was quite selfish of me with everything you've got going on.

Sleep well my wise and beautiful friend

Baby steps @WIP

I feel this year will bring about change. DBT is the beginning. I am sure there will be others in your class feeling lonely and isolated too. Xox
