Stress Center Peer Support

Hi guys,
I haven't been on here for a while b/c I had been feeling better about 70%. Today and yesterday I feel like 35%, my thoughts are horrrible and I am crippling myself about obsessing over gong into the hospital. I am CONVINCED it is only a matter of time before I am committed. I feel so scared and helpless. I have been battling this thought and disassociation for over 4 months. I am on meds but maybe it's time for a change in meds...Please help!!!-roc26

Don't be at all afraid to ask your doc to help with the meds. Four months is a long battle with those types of thoughts.
But also, it's ok to have a few days of only feeling half at yourself b/c you're going to the hospital. It's a very good reason to backslide a little.
It's also time to convince yourself that it's only a matter of time before you GET BETTER! You deserve it!

Hi roc.

What happened to cause the "growth spurt"? Talk to your doctor about the meds but don't stay on it for too long because anxiety and depression meds cause anxiety symptoms. So sometimes when you're on those meds and you think you're getting worse, it could just be the side effects of the drugs. Most of our anxiety symptoms are the same as the anxiety and depression drug's side effects. Read the leaflet that comes with it, you'll be amazed!!
