Why it has all hit me after having that injection and conversion with my T is uncertain. I think talking about it was the trigger, but it had to be talked about as the flashbacks were bad. I have strong SI but would never in my right mind do this to my loved ones at Christmas.
I can’t stop crying. I feel overwhelmed. The nurses are being very supportive but my pdoc never shows up, and he knows how much it does my head in when he promises to show but doesn’t. He’s lost my trust again.
I’m allowed out for a few hours with my Mum as they know I would never run with her there as cause her that distress. At least while still in my right mind. I’m scared I’m going to snap soon tough. I’m scared.

I’m sorry things have taken a turn , again. There’s a few things you might not realize.
You recently had to get off Haldol because it causes vision problems... but The Haldol and your deciding to just get help was what allowed your mind to quiet. Now no Haldol? Of course your going to backslide and the world is going to tilt again.
What medication is being tried now? and yes “ tried “ is really what treating bipolar is all about ... “trying” meds to see if they fit or not
Your parents are always a trigger so lately your allowing them to be around you a lot more than when you are just in your home. Why even see them right now ? Especially right now?? How can that help you feel better/more stable??
I’m sorry your Pdoc isn’t showing when he says..defiantly ask him why he’s not showing.
If Christmas is a trigger for you then you are in the best place you can be.
You are in a safe place , safe place.
Take in a deep slow breath..
