I am tired of seeing a psychatrist and not feeling any better. My moods are still all over the place. I still feel sore, achy and tired constantly, so who knows if that is pshychological or not. The only difference is I am now fatter. Ugh. Debating stopping all meds and the pdoc and seeing what happens.

Missy,


I know exactly what you're feeling, BTDT, but thankfully the ladies here on the board convinced me to hang in there and it did eventually pay off.

I took all the meds this morning but it took everything I had to do it. I am still really down and want to just bring the kids to the sitter, crawl into bed and cry all day. But unfortunately that would not help and going to class is what I need to do.

I am going to try a therapist, I think.

Hey Missy,

Please don't do that, honey...I DID go off all my meds, with pdoc's blessing and guidance, and STILL ended up in the hospital. Hang in there, it will get better. I need to listen to that myself today. Am in a bad place too, but we'll come through it. Don't go off meds. Marci is right, you feel better initially, for about a good 3 weeks. Then, BLAM. You go UPPPPPPPP. Then you either get really psychotic, and get hospitalized, or you crash HARD and get hospitalized. Either way, its not any fun after the first month.

Hang in there with me, okay? I can't do this alone. I need someone to hold my hand, too. Together we can make it. I know we can.

How do you feel today?

Love and Hugs,

Keli

Thanks for the information. I did not take my meds this morning yet, but will go home and take them. I can not afford to be hospitalized right now, finacially or time wise. I would miss too much with school and be dropped. I am just so tired of it all. I will hold your hand through this, if you will do the same.

I sure know how you feel, I feel that way too sometimes. This can get SOOOO frustrating to deal with. Just try and hang in there!! You can feel better!

Hi Missy,

I'm totally there with you... I HATE meds... I saw my Pdoc today and he prescribed MORE meds to get me under control... mentioned that the hurricane news is causing PTSD flashbacks or some such thing... all I know is I feel like crap and I HATE paying for more meds... I just can't keep throwing 5 or 8 hundred dollars a month at the pharmacy, ESPECIALLY when the meds don't seem to make me feel any better... Sorry, I went off on a tangent there... But I totally understand your desire to just stop everything and try it on my own... Not sure if it's a good idea though... Those here on the board with more experience are pretty sure that we won't be better off...

Anyway, just wanted you to know you are definitely not alone in your feelings...

I guess we just have to stick together and support each other.

Catherine
