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??

Thank you dear @Eve7

The housework is never ending isn't it!

My house is never tidy. I have had to drop my dtandards. It's clean just not particularly tidy most of the time.

Re: Changing meds

Ha ha .. you are funny 😅@Eve7 @WIP @Anastasia .

My house is clean also ... and neat n tidy too. My OCD will not permit me to have it any way other than tidy. Everything in its correct place, all neatly lined up, etc. Sigh ... it can be exhausting sometimes.

Its 6.30pm already. Not used to daylight saving late sunset yet. Looks like a later than usual dinner here tonight.

Re: Changing meds

Mine used to be like that @Emelia8

Always looked like a display home back in the day but not anymore. My boys dump their things where ever and our house is old and falling apart so even when it's clean it never looks clean. But it serves us and whilst it wasn't easy lowering my standards it was necessary.

Re: Changing meds

Hi friends @Anastasia @Eve7 @Emelia8

Sorry, I logged off early yesterday afternoon and missed chatting with you. Hope you are all ok this morning.

I'm not doing very well at all, so won't be around much today. I need to calm down. This med cocktail I'm on is messing with me.
