Feeling really lonely

jtassar93 · Oct 23, 2016, 04:53 PM

I have no one to talk to in real life about what's going on with me. This psychosis is really hitting me hard. I don't even think I'll be able to make my pdoc app next week. Everything is just so hard and I'm tired.

I am sorry you are lonely....

You really need to make that appointment if you are feeling like this...it's imperative. (((Hugs)))

jtassar93 · Oct 23, 2016, 05:11 PM

I'm trying to make the appointment but only scraped up so much money.

Can you take a bus? Can you call your doctor and let them know your dilemma? Perhaps they have suggestions? I'm so sorry you are in this situation. ((Hugs))

There are no buses around here unfortunately. I don't know what the doctor would say. I live kind of far from the office.

Perhaps your doctor could offer a phone appointment at bare minimum. It's not a perfect solution but it's better than nothing.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I've also been struggling with psychosis and have no one irl I can turn to. I hope you can see your doctor soon. Some doctors will offer to have the appointment online over Skype or conduct home visits when needed. Maybe you could ask if there are such options available.

Maybe. I have major anxiety over the phone. My mom does everything for me.

I'm sorry you're going through it to. It's terrible. I wish I had someone in real life to talk to. I know my doctor doesn't do home visits and I don't have a computer for Skype.

I estimated the fare cost and it's $24 each way. The appointment is tomorrow and I only have $19. I'll have to wait another week or two.

i am sorry you are feeling so bad but i can relate about having no one to talk to it is really hard sometimes when that happens. keep posting here if it helps.

Thanks. It does help posting here and being around people with the same issues. I'd love to just talk to anyone about what I'm feeling or even just whatever. It'd be nice to have a friend.

Get your mom to call and try to make arrangements for them to bill you if possible. Then take the taxi. My wife and I have had to do this a few times recently. The doctor will usually work with you on it or at least they do with us.i just had to do it due to going manic this month.

Hobbit House · Oct 23, 2016, 11:05 PM

Sorry, got caught behind. I don't type fast.

It's alright. Thanks for trying to help. I unfortunately can't afford a taxi so will have to miss my appointment.

jtassar93 · Oct 23, 2016, 11:48 PM

What should I do until my appointment? The hallucinations and delusions are out of control.

Are you in danger? Do you think it's time to consider IP? Can you call the ER and talk to an advise nurse?

I don't think I'm at the danger to myself stage yet. I'm just desperately trying to get help before I do. I might call the ER. I absolutely loathe talking on the phone though. And calling an ambulance would be too dramatic.

You're really stuck and I'm so sorry. If things get worse and you feel in danger, call for an ambulance.....don't get embarrassed ((hugs))

Oct 24, 2016, 12:16 AM

Get help while you can before it gets worse. It sounds like it's progressing rapidly.

At the very least, do tell your mom if you haven't told her already. And I know that a lot of pdocs have on-call nurses or after-hours services. You should call them as well. But personally (if it were me), I would go to IP just to be safe. Nip the problem in the bud.

It's okay. Thanks for the help though. It's nice having someone to talk to. If I do get to the point where I'm a danger to myself my mom might take off work to take me. It's hard though because she gets in trouble if she leaves and she really needs the job. I hope I won't have to call an ambulance.

My mom knows my problems to an extent. She doesn't know that I've been having hallucinations and delusions. She just knows I'm depressed and my mood shifts. She knows how bad it can be both when I'm down and when I'm up. My doctor's office doesn't have anything for after hours. I've tried before. I'm terrified of IP so I'm trying to avoid that at all costs.

You should definitely tell your mom about the hallucinations and delusions. I know you're afraid of IP, but IP may be your only option if it's progressing this rapidly. You don't want to lose touch with reality because that's when anything can happen.

Sorry you are feeling bad. I often feel lonely too because my job is from home (thanks to anxiety) My best tip is to surround yourself with people as often as possible, even if you're not connecting with them. Go for a nice walk or something. I wish I had more useful info I just wanna let you know that despite feeling lonely, you're not alone with how you feel.
