Hi My angel,

It is ok if you are not able to do much, i have days/weeks like that, we just get stuck in a rut, Karen i have the same problem i just want to sleep too, but i fight it.

My thoughts are with you my angel, a big virtual hug from me to you

Hi Jacques

Thanks for the hug, I really need one.

Last week my psychiatrist took me off one of the anti depressants I was on, also the anti psychotic. I'm really struggling. I've been on and off so many different meds in such a short time. I can notice the difference.

My mum told me today it's the worst she's ever seen me. That's saying something....

Hi My angel,

Oh no, i wish their where some way for me to make you feel better, it is so hard changing meds, especially so many over such a short space of time, all you can do is stay safe i suppose, i hope you mum gives you some support, it will make a big difference.

Karen make sure if you get negative thoughts you call lifeline or come here and talk things through.  Hang in their Karen, i am only to happy to support you, give you a shoulder to lean on.

Hi Karen,

I’m so sorry to hear you’re struggling today. Changes in medication can have horrible side effects and can increase suicidal ideation - it's really important to report this to your psychiatrist as soon as possible.

I have just sent you an email as I'm concerned for you at the moment.

I know you don’t believe it right now, but you do deserve help, and it’s the crisis services that are best placed to help you through this distress.

Lifeline: 13 11 14 or Crisis Chat
Suicide call back service: 1300 659 467 or online counselling

Will you contact one of the organisations above?

Thinking of you tonight.

Hi Nik

Thanks for you concern. My psychiatrist cannot see me for 5 weeks, she is booked

[NikNik]

Hi Karen,

Thanks for getting back to me. I encourage you to call them tomorrow and share what you are experiencing tonight. They may have exceptions and make room for emergencies such as this.

Going to the emergency department is also an option.
Please be safe tonight.
Do you plan on reaching out to any of the crisis support services?

[hiddenite]

I will try to call tomorrow

[NikNik]

Sorry, just to clarify, you will try and call the psychiatrist tomorrow or crisis support?

It's great if you're thinking of calling the psychiatrist tomorrow - it really helps them to understand what medication is causing what. It's amazing how much medication can impact on us - good and bad.

I really hope you are going to call a crisis service tonight though. Will you do that?
