Mental Health Support Society XVIII

I dunno, I just worried it was me who'd done something. Hope these feelings pass soon for you. Not a waste of space at all

Please don't kill a cat. Cats are cute and cuddly. My PMs are always open if you need to vent.

Debatable + thanks v much for the offer, but I'm fine. <3

Just out of my medical. I was such a state. I couldn't stop shaking, crying and took a panic, my gut flared up and the doc had to ask my mum some questions because I was in such a state. He went to speak to a supervisor and came back and told me they had enough evidence and I could go and he wasn't willing to put me through any more of the medical because I was so worked up.

He said I might need to come back for medical in a year or two so maybe that means he is confident I'll be put into the work or support group? I dunno. Just so glad it's over. I'll be dreading any text or post I get over the next week or so while I wait on a decision.

Thanks everyone for your support lately I'm drained to hell but going out for a run in the car with Callan to hopefully clear my head a little

Ughhhhhhhhh, so frustrated at everything

What's up?

Thanks for the reply man

Just upset at all these voices, paranoia and not being able to sleep. Then my friends are getting more and more worried about me to the point that I end up feeling suspicious of them or me feeling they're abandoning me and that's worsening my anxiety and depression

How are you? *

I'm actually in a remarkably similar situation to you. Do you have an PRN meds you could take to help with sleep? I can sympathize with how difficult it is to sleep with voices and paranoia. Might be worth you talking this over with your doctor if it's happening frequently, maybe you could take one of your friends with you for support? I get that it can be hard to trust people's motivations but if they're your friends their concern for you is probably real. Have you tried talking things over with your very best friend? It's easy to feel very lonely at times like this.

Ah no, I'm sorry that you're in such a similar situation too. All my meds are in the other room and u don't want to wake up my parents and I feel too scared to go get them. Ideally I'd love to go talk to my parents about it because they always calm me down but I don't want to worry them too. I'm very vary of my friends lately, quite a few have been ignoring me lately I feel.

Hope you're feeling ok at least *

Thanks man. Tbh not doing at all well.

I don't know which meds you're on but things like certain antipsychotics can really help you sleep - I missed 2 nights of quetiapine a couple of weeks ago and got zero sleep both nights (I was completely out of it by the 3rd day), I hadn't even realized what an effect the quetiapine had on me until I didn't take it. I think you should try to find the courage to go get your meds, it's very important to take them as prescribed. Your parents love you and probably would want to help as much as possible even if it meant you woke them up.

Next time you see your doctor could you ask for something to take as needed for when you feel like this? I don't know how against/for medications you are but some things can really help calm you down.

Oh no - is there anything on your mind at all? Anything I can do to help?

Thanks for the advice - I think I will try to pluck up the courage to get my meds. Yeah, I'll have a word with them. I'm usually not scared of taking meds if they help make me feel better. *

Unless you know how to find and destroy spy cameras then not really.

I hope your parents make you feel better. There are various things that could calm you down or help you sleep so might be worth a word with your doc - a lot don't like to prescribe large amounts of these but even a few to have in emergencies is worth it imo. Good luck! Hope you get some sleep and feel better soon.
