I generally have hypochondria.

My psychiatrist also said that it is an indicator of how bad the depression is.

I also have sometimes mixed with suicidal thoughts, and there are days when I just don't know if I'll make it.

I know it has a high level of morbidity and mortality ...

I'm on 3 anti-depressants, and anti-psychotic and an antianxiolytic.

Right now, I'm waiting for biopsy results to determine whether or not I have oral cancer and the waiting is so difficult.... It's hard for me to reign my mind in.

I'll probably call a crisis line today.

I was hospitalized twice last year and almost took my life in 2014 when I bottom out with a massive breakdown ... it took all my strength to stay alive ... and I'm so highly functioning that I wasn't admitted to hospital ... I actually lived ina different province at the time and they're having a hard time keeping up with the psych demands ... there was no room in emerg and I actually stayed in the waiting room all night suffering ... a terrible experience and I wouldn't wish this on anyone...

Is your MDD pretty much controlled? Mine isn't, I'm afraid.
Hey, trish, is ketamine available in Canada? It might be worth looking into. Some people have also gotten benefit from Emsam, the MAO inhibitor. It did nothing for me, but I know folks it has worked for.

Praying for you!!!!!!
