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??

Hi gorgeous lady @Anastasia

Lots and lots of cuddles with little Levi - he is good medicine/therapy for me. I'm so lucky to have him🐶🐾 We just got back from the park actually.

I felt a bit weird when I arrived home y'day - some mixed emotions. I'm much more settled

today, even though I still woke at 5am, like I did in hospital. I was really looking forward to being in my own bed and getting more sleep. Maybe tonight 🤞

Hope you and your boy are alright, always thinking of you 💞

Happy Mother's Day @Anastasia

Hope you got a bit of a sleep in and do something special with your boys.

I'm sort of ok - couple of challenging days adjusting to being back at home & getting used to new AD med, that won't likely kick for another few weeks (thats if it does of course).

You're in my thoughts too! 💞🐾
