Not holding it together very well, or as well as I thought

As I posted in a previous thread,

This time of year is weird for me, like it is for lots of people.

I thought by taking a different approach than last year, I could avoid some of the same issues,

Maybe I was wrong.

I’ve been crying a lot the past week and all of yesterday and today, like uncontrollably.

The voices are up from a 4 to about a 7, and now I’m getting afraid of certain rooms of my house.

I went to go see a friend who knows about my situation and that I’m crazy,

She had no good advice, she encouraged the camping trip and told me to go drink some wine and ■■■■ a stranger.

Clearly not the most solid advice.

She also told me I’m stuttering a lot and look bad.

So, I need help. I don’t have a doctor here, not even a GP, and if my husband comes home and I’m all stoned and crying again, he’s going to tell me I need to go to the hospital. I want to go on the camping trip this weekend but after all this, he’s not going to be cool with it.

I don’t know what to do.

There will be other camping trips.

Are you on any meds? Maybe you can get some thru a psychiatrist at the emergency department?

It sounds like you need meds. Of some description. Register with a GP.

The camping trip sounds like a really bad idea at this point.

And I really should be.

I agree with the other posters.
You most likely can benefit from taking meds.

The camping trip does sound like a bad idea right now.
Try laying off of the weed for a while also.

Meds and therapy. Camping can help because it’s relaxing but that’s only if you like camping. Overall it’s best to takes meds and therapy.

Yeah it takes a while. One time it was going to take me 3 months to get an appointment with a psychiatrist. I said screw it so opted with a nurse practitioner.

I’m experiencing alot of the the same things.

I don’t get it. I’ve worked out so many of the kinks and misfires that was causing my inward issues.

Now I’m experiencing what seems like my personal space being invaded and causing me agitation.

I can be totally at peace and quiet and then the intensity increases and I feel like a bull in a bullfight.

strange you get odd feelings about certain rooms. I was just like that at one time. Before my “episode” as i call it.

Mine was this walk in closet at the end of a bathroom. Still dont know why, but half the time i went in there i felt like someone was standing next to me.

Nothing ever happened. I did one time force myself to stay in there because i knew i was wrong. no other room just that one. I guess because it was dark and cut off from the rest of the otherwise bright and airy house.

I hope you feel better soon. I think the trip to the psychaitrist will be good for you. It was hard for me to do. worth it though.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. You’re such a nice and funny lady :slight_smile:. You definitely could benefit from meds; I just hope you can make it through ok to your appointment, or go into the hospital if necessary.

I dunno, but I don’t think the real problem is camping or not camping, but meds or no meds.

Thanks again, guys.

No camping, my husband came home and is talking about taking me to the hospital tomorrow if I don’t feel better.

I know I need to be on medication,

I’ve had an appointment with a psychiatrist for a long time, he’s a specialist and I’ve been waiting forever to see him.

Its just not fast enough and I’ve no established care in this area.

I’ll be okay, its possible I may have to go to the hospital.
