Might go ER

Im debating whether to goto the ER - and get my jab. I really dont think i can stand another crappy night with me paranoia - and jumping out my skin everytime a car horn goes off. My coping skills seem to have bogged off. “vicky” has been taunting me as well.

I would probably be alright - if i had someone sit with me and keep me company and distract me. But im a billy no mates (thru choice in the past) and simply dont know anyone anymore.
Im sure the Quetiapine aint working no more - or its not working as well without me jab to compliment it.

Ive been doing so well lately as well :frowning:

Only you can know if you need to go to the ER.

But I’m a firm believer that if you are questioning it,

You probably need to go.

It can’t hurt and they may be able to get your symptoms more under control.

Ill phone the MH helpline for advice. Or maybe the GP.

I dunno - Maybe i should grow some balls and wait it out till morning.

There’s nothing wrong with getting help when you need it,

If you can’t wait until morning, don’t.

I say go, there’s no sense in suffering and beating yourself up like it’s all on you. If you need it you need it. It’s not like you’re asking for a party, you’re asking for much needed medicine to keep you safe. Please go. It’s the responsible thing to do.

If you need to go, then go. It’s better to get the help you need rather than be alone and suffering

If your a danger to yourself or others I would go but if your simply annoyed I’d wait it out

The mental health line should help. In our area it takes ages to get through, but at least you will get 20 mins to discuss this

I was on quitiapine for years and while it worked well at first in the end I was on max dose and psychotic.

I’m not sure if they will be able to give you your jab at the hospital ? I’ve heard some people here say theirs wears off after a few weeks and get it earlier …perhaps you could talk to your psychiatrist about it.

Paranoia is a difficult one. One I’ve had to deal with a lot. I hope you get this sorted. If you don’t go to the hospital just try to remind yourself it’s the illness and not reality.

How are you feeling now? Did you decide to go?

They discussed whilst i was there - about going on the 3 month Trevicta jab, cos they are well aware how i dip in the last week - and end up getting in arguements lol.

Not so sure tho - it gives me the opportunity to see them and talk when i have it, so ill probabaly stick to monthys and top up with pill form quetiapine.

I’m glad you went and got help. I hope you feel better soon. You seem like a nice guy; I hate to see you suffer.

What injection is it? They can also give jabs twice a month for some injections like Fluonxol when I started was twice a month.
