Christmas was great as was Boxing Day (26th). But 27th/28th/29th I massively fell out with my family to the point I hid in my room until the latter part of yesterday. I've been in tears, I've been hurting myself, I've been thinking of walking away from my family, unfortunately and through regret ive been thinking of sui.

I'm not proud of my head. I'm ashamed. To top all this off I have had blinding headaches that is making the base of my skull sore I'm in excruciating pain. Painkillers don't help though. I've read up on it and I think its tension headaches but I don't know.

I hate Hogmanay (31st) and New Year's Day. I find it so depressing. I hate having to be happy for everyone. Being Scottish I'm meant to relish this time of year as it's a holiday here and we are reknown for our celebrating.

I don't know what's up with me. I'm all over the place (happy, sad, manic, depressed, angry, irritated, tired, hyper) I'm not sleeping so I guess that's not helping I'm lucky if I'm getting 4 hours a night. Been like this for about 10 days.

If I'm being honest I'm wishing I had done something stupid.... sorry guys for being doom and gloom at this happy time

So sorry you are struggling, Laura. Just was wondering if your psychiatrist is aware of what is happening with you right now. Don't you think maybe you might should let them know?

Sending you support and love. Hang in there. This will get better. But please check in with your doctor ASAP.

I'm not due to see my Psychiatrist until April sometime. I only saw my Nurse on 23rd and I was fine. I don't understand where this has came from. I was due to see someone in my mental health team tomorrow (31st) but it's been cancelled.

I'm really unsure what to do. I don't think I'm in crisis so I won't call the crisis team. I guess I just need to sound off I don't know.

Maybe I'll feel better soon?

I'm so sorry. For one thing, it sounds extremely stressful to have so many holidays so close to each other. Who wouldn't be stressed and on edge?!

Speaking with your pdoc is a good idea.

Yeah, in my family we celebrate 24th, 25th and 26th recover then celebrate 31st, 1st and 2nd. Lots of food and drink consumed and socialising ironic since I have social anxiety huh. In Scotland we have a holiday on the 2nd so we generally eat and drink too much. This is the worst if you like I have ever felt. Hopefully I get better for the 4th going to the theatre to see a show before it tours Scotland. I'm looking forward to it so hopefully my mood improves even for that day

I imagine the falling out with your family is causing a lot of your feelings. Environmental stress is a big factor in emotional distress. Is there any way you can discuss it with them and come to some sort of understanding?

Sorry to hear it. Alcohol can cause this kind of crash in mood. I'm not disapproving, honestly! Just a factor to consider. Please do call the crisis team if you feel dangerously bad again.

Take care!

I came to the site last night to post about struggling and I found this post. I meant to post last night but I didn't have the energy. Thank you for posting. You are not alone.

Hey, we have kinda forgotten it all now. Tbh I'm only forgetting it for my Mum's sake. This year's new years will be different as my sister is going away with friends so I will I think stay at my house.
