I dont know who else to talk to so I’m coming on here. I give up I give up trying I really cant cope anymore. I live with my mum still because I am 16 and my boyfriend hates going to mine and I’m really struggling. I need someone to be with me 24/7 to take care of me incase I hurt myself so my mum and boyfriend take turns each. He hates being there and he tells me that every day but we have to be there because I have a dog and my mum works and it’s the only place the voices arent as horrible to me. But I really cant cope with it anymore it’s all getting far to much for me to handle I feel completely alone.
What medication are you on
Can you get any support from your mental health team

I just came off them because they made me worse
I think you should talk to your nurse and let them know you are really struggling
Maybe get an earlier appointment to see psychiatrist

I see her on Monday she only works Monday Tuesdays and wednesdays
Being on medication doesnt change the way things are at home and it’s horrible to live in this environment when I’m so ill
You need a emergency room visit or a emergency visit to your psychiatrist.
Or change your psychiatrist because it’s clear you need to be on medication that works for you. There is a endless list of things you could try and for them to stop treatment is really unprofessional

I can’t really change psychiatrist I live in Scotland and I’m under a child mental health service so i would only be able to see one ot the psychiatrist there and there alot worse than mine
Get an appointment as soon as is possible and tell her you want to try another antipsychotic. The anti anxiety med will only get you so far.

No my boyfriend doesnt like my mum because he has to do alot of stuff for us because she has 2 autoimmune disorders and arthritis so cant really do anything and he hates being at my house but we have to because I have a dog.
I already have I think she is being quite unprofessional she just started me on antidepressants a few weeks ago and then after a week of been on them she said she couldn’t see me for 3 weeks because she was fully booked so I have had to suffer on medication that was making me really unwell that I couldn’t even get out my bed and when I phoned and asked what to do she told me to just stay on it so I just came off it myself.
