Possible trigger:
I had energy today and I spent time with my babies and got some things done. I also saw my t and had a productive and unemotional session. Somewhere between then and now however, I was hit with a black veil and I can't get it to leave me. I feel like I won't sleep tonight despite the clozapine. It's just a tough, tough night. Love you guys!

I'm here! Have you taken meds so you start to feel tired instead of suicidal? I'm glad the rest of the day was better but tonight sounds awful. Can I help?

Thank you, friend. I have taken my meds but I don't feel tired enough. I just don't know what to do with myself. I asked my therapist how I seemed and she said she could tell there was a lot going on in my head but that I seemed well. Now I can't get my mind to shut up. My mind is racing and my thoughts are a direct result of the emotional bile in my gut. I just want it to stop.

How are you feeling tonight? I'm so happy you recieved reassurance from your pdoc!

I feel better knowing this is finally really in the works. And honestly if this works out it is what I would have chosen; I like this dr and I want to be on the mood disorder unit so I'm less stressed than I would be. I asked a friend to pray that I could have a day off from slamming from one mood to another and I got that break and so I feel a lot better.

I hate when I take meds and wait to fall asleep and my thoughts go crazy. Sorry you've got that. I tend to get all freaked out about stupid things and do things like pay bills at 3 AM just because. Last year I was upset b/c I had to retire part of my OT credentials and I finally did that a 3 AM because I couldn't sleep dreading it and all those evil racing thoughts weren't helping.

I don't honestly know how funny this is but I've found it a good distraction lately (but I've got a skating thing going). But comedy on ice seems good to me and it's worth a watch; I think it may be distracting enough to help; it has me. This is the current world champion and he's hilarious.

Thank you both for your responses. It seems the meds did make me sleepy after all as I was out within a half an hour after my OP. I'm glad because last night was terrible.

Today? A little better but mostly anxiety laiden. I just wish it would stop.

All of my love to you!

Hey cash!

I'm advice less, other than I'm happy you were able to sleep and hope you feel better.

And this is going to sound weird, but at least you're thinking about suicide and not following through. When I OD'd I wasn't conciously thinking about suicide at all. The times I actually thought about it I didn't follow through because I was too busy thinking about it and all the different scenarios that made it a bad idea. When I wasn't thinking about it it was just this impulsive thing that I did.

Oh, and I'm pretty much always around. Lol!

Hugs.

No advice just glad you're OK and your meds are working.
