The abyss

[Catr1na]

hi guys im having a really hard time lately i went back on my medication about 2 months ago, and i felt a bit better for a few weeks so went back to work. However i started slipping back down into the abyss and i am now at a point where i can see no way out. I quit my job because it was adding to my misery but now i feel i acted irrationaly and impulsivley.I cant sleep at night then all day im exhausted im cutting myself more and more. im so tired i dont think i have the energy to fight this anymore.

Hi Catr1na,
I really feel for you because I've also had a rough time lately - I was doing much better on my meds and then had a wobble over the weekend, and have been frightened I'm falling back down into the hole.
Is there someone you can talk to?
I assume you are seeing your GP, could you make an appointment with them? It's really important to see your Doctor because you may need to try a higher dose of medication, to help you through this. Medication isn't always the only solution, but it can be a big help for us.
Do your family and/or friends know what you are going through? Having someone to talk to can make it feel a little easier to deal with.
Hope you are OK. Please let us know how you get on!
