I told her that I was thinking a lot about the big S and she said that I need to go to the ER but I don't undertand why?? I do understand that it can take awhile for the meds to kick in but atleast it's something.

I guess it will be on her if something happens and I tried to reach out.

dazed......Yes of course, I agree, even if the meds don't make a difference immediately, at least you'd know that you were doing something positive for yourself, and that in itself might help your state-of-being a little. Then if they help in the long run.....even better! And I'm sorry, maybe I'm missing something, but that thing they said about psychiatrists and meds making things worse.....HUH??!! Not that you asked, but I will say that if I was you I would look to someone else for help. Just my humble opinion. Sending good thoughts..... ps....Oh and one more thng, have you considered calling Suicide Prevention? They are very kind and supportive people
