The lack of sleep is starting to trigger psychosis symptoms

I feel like my meds are poison and that my doctor is trying to

Possible trigger:

kill me

I also don’t feel real

I have to call my psychiatrist tomorrow though regardless because we need to do something about my sleep issues, Im just scared.

One night of missed sleep shouldn’t be doing this to me should it

I'll fill it out today and take it to the post office tomorrow. They sure don't give you much time. It says it should be done by 10/4. That seems a little close.

And then the waiting begins....ugh.

When I got mine they didn't give me very much time either, but I think I had more time than that! Jeez. That IS cutting it close!

I’m trying to avoid going to the hospital because I haven’t had to go in 6 or 7 years , but I’m not sure what to do

Plan is to call the crisis line if it gets worse but in the meantime I’m gonna take my night meds and try to sleep

I see my new psychologist my gp referred me to in just under 2 hours. I feel nervous. I don’t want to dump it all on him in one go just how messed up my life is. Also, he’s a male and I’m used to females but I’m not going to let that prejudice me. I still have 2 weeks off work and hoping I can squeeze him in for one more session before I go back but I have been on q 3 month wait list just for today so that may be wishful thinking.

I’ll report back later after my new psychologist session.

I took the first dose of the elavil 1.5 hours ago. Its making me sleepy for sure. Calming my anxiety a lot and I'm not Starvin' Marvin' and ravenous.

But eh I'm fading though. Hopefully I wont be like. Ah whatever. I'm going to sleep. Stuff is knocking me out good.
