Im trying to get hold of my mental health team. I called them on Tuesday but no response.

I’m thinking to go private…

My thoughts race on one topic constantly.
I’m tired of this, it’s mentally and psychically draining.
I’m also depressed even though I’m sleeping (kinda ok) but don’t feel rested

I’m eating ok.
I’m just feeling constant negativity , difficulty concentrating , hard time distracting myself to other topics because I’m not paying attention when someone talks to me.

I can’t pull myself out.

It helps knowing this is my fault at work though that I can’t stick to a damn job …
But now I feel guilty I complained about the supervisor.

I’m sick and tired of this.

My racing thoughts were becuase my medication wasn’t working correctly. Due to missing a dose, drinking alcohol, or increased stress.

I don’t think it’s the medication in my case. I always get like this under stress. Probably need a benzo.

No one is allowed to get benzos where I go. I wonder if you could try something that’s not addictive. If benzos are all that help you I totally get it. I just know I have really high anxiety and have to get by without benzos.

Unfortunately the antidepressant triggered psychosis so I’m not sure of an alternative.

I tried buspirone. It didn’t help me but I was on a very low dose. My friend takes a lot more and it helps her a lot.

I think you’re experiencing the backlash of being in a stressful situation. It takes time to recover. I would take a break of a couple of weeks.
