Hi everyone, I haven’t been sleeping and my mood and anxiety are worse I hope this is temporary .. . Sorry to vent again . I don’t post as often on here. Wondering how people get through times when they don’t want to be here. (Aside from meds or going for a walk, it’s the middle of the night here). I’m not going to hurt myself, I just wish this pain would stop..

What kind of pain do you have? Physical, emotional, mental? Sorry you're having such a hard time. Big hugs!

Thanks 99Fairies, emotional and mental pain (and allergies - I just had some chocolate which I will probably react to) I can’t take meds due to severe allergies and sometimes ..... I’ve been off them for a while though and am scared of them. Sorry to anyone who is bored with my stuff

Can you take a hot shower?

No one is bored. Can you do hot bath a and/or listen to music. Just take it one moment at a time. Keep talking, we're listening.

Thank you both, I can’t really do either of those at the moment as Papa Bear is sleeping upstairs and he’s a very light sleeper. I’ll get something to eat, something boring like cereal, I can’t have any more chocolate .. and a small glass of martini

I wish I could cry more. This anxiety... I’m so tired of it.

Sorry for “whining” Another semi safe place for me isn’t available..

Am I even ....(deleted) I guess I’m still alive..

Have you seen an allergist?

I am severely allergic to penicillin, but my allergist told me that there is a way for me to take penicillin if I absolutely needed to take it. She mentioned something about extremely slow titration with the guidance of an allergist. I don't know if that'll work with psych meds, but I guess I figured I'd throw the allergist idea out there.

Thanks bluebicycle. I did ask a doctor who gave me more than the standard 5 minute appointment about seeing an allergist. This doctor referred me to a dermatologist As I have found the only cream for my face I’m not allergic to through personal research, with the help of Papa Bear I figured that for now I don’t want to go the dermatologist route . (I have seen dermatologists before )

I posted before how a doctor suggested I take oral steroids along with a psych med. No thanks (I’m in the uk ) (some doctors seem to think we can’t or don’t do our own research, ugh )

It might be something I can try though, it’s a good suggestion, an allergist. I’m severely psychically “allergic” to all doctors though

I’m hoping some of this increased anxiety etc is “the time of year”.

I do exercise etc when I can ..
