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??

Great game of footy and fabulous win for the Lions! I was so happy to see them get over the line. The sound of the crowd was great to hear. @Zoe7 @Eve7

Wonder who'll they'll play next?

Re: Changing meds

It was a really good game to watch whoever you support @WIP @Eve7 One of the best games I have seen for a long time and of course even better that we took out the win. All our players stood up when needed and fought hard to both get in front and stay there. We did not have one passenger in the game and that mae all the difference. Thank goodness for the return of Harris Andrews - he showed why we are such a better team with him. I also thought Hipwood and Cameron gave them a real spark attacking the ball hard and all around the ground. I could go on and on as they all played well and took the moments they could when needed - such a wonderful whole team performance ...I am one happy little Lions supporter today 🦁

Re: Changing meds

I'm good thanks @WIP

Procrastinating, I need to get up. Just feeling lazy. Leaving in half an hour to tag along while bf works. Not sure I really want to but it gets me out of the house.

Hope you have a lovely day 💞

Glad you are feeling good this morning @Anastasia

I spend most days procrastinating these days, so I know the feeling well.

Enjoy your day 😊❤️

Hi @Emelia8

Thanks for dropping by. No apology needed for anything. I can only imagine how overwhelmed you must be feeling. Just do your best to look after yourself.

I struggled y'day afternoon and haven't woken up the best either. Hoping to shake it off.

Hi also to @Anastasia @Appleblossom @Eve7 Hope you've had a good weekend.

WIP xx
