So even though I get low, I seem to bounce back before I hit bottom.
I don't know anything about how the health care system works in the U.K. It must be very frustrating to go through those assessments you mention & then have them tell you you're not ill enough to see a psychiatrist.  All I can say is: hang in there & keep posting on PC. Hopefully it helps.  |
I like the way you describe Cymbalta like a floor that stops you dropping any further. The 60mg was more like a rug that got pulled away from under my feet when I went back down to 30mg.
The good news is that the steroids have stopped the bleeding but I need to take them for another 9 days and my skin has already broken out, my mood is suicidal and generally I want to murder the whole planet for daring to breathe.
I'm consumed by a fear that I can't get better and that no one cares about me. I'm back in the old place where I'm starting to believe I'm dead and in Hell. I did something wrong and this is my eternal punishment.
