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??

No need to say anything @Eve7

Take care of you. I was just venting, thinking everyone was asleep. I don't want you to feel sad about me, you have enough to think of 💖

Re: Changing meds

Yes - not a bad day @Snowie

After having some warm weather for a while Melbourne is chilly and cloudy today - and last night we had some heavy rain - and yesterday - hail - which is pretty and covered the lawn - I am glad I didn't have to go out in it though

I have an outing this afternoon - I am seeing the podiatrist - he likes to chat which makes the whole afternoon pleasant

Enjoy your coffee and the rest of your day

Re: Changing meds

Yes the cooler weather this week is a relief here too @Owlunar . I think Thursday may get to about 30C, but other days both sides are only low to mid 20Cs ... perfect for my liking.

Enjoy your pleasant social outing to the podiatrist this arvo Dec. 😄

Hi @WIP 😄🌷
