I think Perna had a great idea - if you can even get to a regular doctor to get the ball rolling. One time my anxiety got so bad - I did not sleep for 3 - 4 days and I did not know what to do - I really had no one to help. I called my aunt and said I think I need to go to the emergency room - she said she could not get off of work to take me..I called the ambulance. At the emergency room they gave me meds to calm me. A short time later my therapist and my Pdoc got me into a hospital - to deal with the mental health issues. I had no one to bring me - my therapist paid for a cab ride.
My point - do not let it get soooo bad. Call for outside help if you need to. Sometimes family does not always know what to do - or they are in denial.
You have "understanding" here. Let us know how you are doing.
