A year ago I started acting different. I lost weight, couldn't sleep. I had obsessive thoughts. Sexual and VERY immoral. I couldn't control myself. I did some despicable things. I went into a horrible depression. Suicide became a siren song for me. I knew I was depressed and I went to a GP who put me on Lexapro. I spun out of control. Finally I saw a psychiatrist. He was great, started tapering me OFF of the Lexapro, put me on Lamictal and Soroquel.

This is where the story gets weird. 5 days ago my psychiatrist killed his little girl, his wife and then shot himself to death, I am FREAKED OUT. I just wanted to put that out there. I really need a community right now.

Hi Turbulence;
I am so sorry to hear about your doc. Yup that is pretty freaky. I too would be totally "weirded out." But what this tells me is that no one person has it totally together. ALL human beings have moments or times when they are NOT experiencing perfect mental health. You were corageous and strong enough to seek and receieve the help you needed, I wish your doc had been.

Wow. I've got some stories, but none to top that one! My psychiatrist is also a friend of mine -- which is strange at times. One time I was standing with a friend at Starbucks, and he walked in. My friend said, "Hi Van", and I said, "Hi Doc." --- awkward ---

Thank you for all of your replies. The last time I saw my pdoc was 3 days before he killed his family and himself. We were discussing MY suicidal thoughts. ( I have been so close so many times lately.) He asked me if I had a gun in the house, he was so relieved when I said no. I remember thinking how stupid his reaction was. I never ONCE considered using a gun.So strange.
