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??

Re: Changing meds

Hello dear @WIP

It's been a while since we have seen you. Really hoping that this hospital admission is providing you with all that you need moving forward. I think of you everyday 🙏

My boy is doing ok, as am I. I think I've made the conscious decision just to accept what is and not try to fight it. It feels lighter for me. At least for now anyway ☺️

I think I told you I've started Tafe? It will be week three tomorrow. Once a week online only. So far I a enjoying it very much.

Other than that just doing a little bit of gardening each weekend and resting ready for the work week.

Gladys is allowing an extra hour of recreation with five others outside their own home and within their area from 13 Sept if fully vaccinated. (My boys Birthday) Sadly this lifting does nothing to improve our situation as my parents don't live in our area, nor do the boys friends.

Might have to go out in the street and start meeting people lol!

I miss you L and really hoping you're doing well. Love and hugs my dear friend 💕☺️💞

Hello to @BPDSurvivor @NatureLover @Bow @Owen45 @Clawde and all here 👋
