Do you just have trouble swallowing them? Did you tell her you can't take pills? If you did this lady is obviously not listening to you! My new psychiatrist does that to me. Pisses me off. Get an appointment with her and bring your husband with you. Be like, "LADY! I CAN'T SWALLOW PILLS! I TOLD YOU THIS! CAPLYTA IS NOT AN OPTION!" Yell at her if you have to. I had to literally raise my voice to my new psychiatrist because she wanted to put me on Cymbalta again, which stopped working for me. She wasn't listening!!!!

She also didn't LISTEN when I told her 300mg of Lamictal would turn me into an idiot and it did within a few days, like I knew it would. Stupid woman.

MAKE YOUR PSYCHIATRIST LISTEN TO YOU!!!!

I can't take the pills because of paranoia and stress of trying to keep them down while metabolizing. I feel like she's just ****ing with me and wants me to gain tons of weight for something that won't help, certainly won't help fast enough. H wants me to change Drs but this is only the third meeting. She's not listening and I don't know how to make her. She's just ****ing with me. I wish I had my portal set up so I could email her and CC t. I don't want to turn h into a bad guy but he will have to control the meds.

Don't worry. You're not turning your husband into a bad guy by controlling your meds. My husband controls mine because I have an awful habit of getting impulsive when I don't feel good and taking too many, so we have a med box. I just have a weeks worth out at a time, which is just fine with me!

Did you tell your psychiatrist your issue with the pills? Tell her AGAIN if you already have. Is there another psychiatrist in the practice you could get a second opinion from? I know it's hard to find a psychiatrist.

I'm sorry you're having such issues with her! You really shouldn't be!

Victoria'smom · Oct 18, 2024, 06:34 PM

I don't even know what she knows. She asked if I was still throwing up I told her yes, I asked about the injection she said yes.. the appointment goes on. She said she has to think about what medicine and she'll call me back. She calls in captyla. She didn't ask anything I didn't get a chance to say anything. It all was about a 3 min call. I assume she reads the notes from t.

Victoria'smom · Oct 18, 2024, 08:16 PM

There's a clinic that specializes in psychosis. It's a ways but I don't know if they do tellehealth.

HALLIEBETH87 · Oct 18, 2024, 09:26 PM

Can't write that... Silly me.

MuddyBoots · Oct 19, 2024, 11:30 AM

How are you holding up today?

Victoria'smom · Oct 19, 2024, 12:30 PM

Everything is ****ed. I have no relationship with my daughter when she moves there with be no relationship and that's hard

Victoria'smom · Oct 19, 2024, 01:44 PM

Random angry crying 😭 for the win.

BeyondtheRainbow · Oct 19, 2024, 01:45 PM

I'm so sorry everything is so hard right now. I wish I knew what to say to help.

Don't cry, Victoria'smom. You'll still have a relationship with her. I'm sure she'll visit you, and you can still text and call. 😊

Victoria'smom · Oct 19, 2024, 05:52 PM

raspberrytorte I tried to get her to apply for services and she asked me to leave and she didn't feel safe and started crying. She won't answer our texts, eat with us or answer her door. She will only talk to us about her games. If it's anything else she walks away. She doesn't do any chores and waits until the dog goes to the bathroom in the house . She no longer writes back when I write good night I love you.

Victoria'smom · Oct 19, 2024, 06:12 PM

So the random laughing and crying is a bit unnerving but I'm not visually hallucination today. I again won't call my family because I can't control it. Why are they making me wait for medicine when the shot works in 4 days?

raspberrytorte · Oct 19, 2024, 06:16 PM

How old is your daughter, Victoria'smom, if I may ask?

Victoria'smom · Oct 19, 2024, 06:32 PM

She's 22. She won't apply for state aid, food stamps or SSI. She won't apply for a job, do PHP, or anything. Won't talk to anyone unless it's her online friend or get out of bed. She has Sza but won't get treatment. Her therapist is encouraging her to move out without income or a place. Even told her they have a temporary place if she needs it. She misses over half her appointments and doesn't even pick up after her self. She's not in a space to move out unless it's to residential of course medical won't pay for that. As much as our current place sucks I'm so scared about the hole in the wall they're going to give her.

raspberrytorte · Oct 19, 2024, 06:41 PM

That's a tough situation, Victoria'smom. I'm sorry to hear about that. 🫂 ❤️

Victoria'smom · Oct 19, 2024, 07:49 PM

H wants me to see how to fire my psychiatrist. The laughing/crying anger has him concerned and he's scared because Anna is back. Treatment with keto isn't an option for me. Eating is a fight. I tried to put soup in and couldn't open it. I gave up I don't need it anyway. I learned h medicine wasn't filled correctly so we have no idea what medicine he is on. He takes 7 for his heart and 6 psych but there's only 5 meds on his list. So Monday I have to find him a psychiatrist too.

Victoria'smom · Oct 19, 2024, 09:48 PM

How do I keep my insight?

Victoria'smom · Oct 19, 2024, 10:40 PM

So we've agreed to call the psychosis clinic Monday. See how long their wait-list is. Try to get set up there. They want all my files and diagnosis. So that will take awhile. Then if they can get me in in two weeks then just cancel other pdoc. If not ask for new pdoc. Now as far as the new medicine h wants me to take it. I'm worried about weight gain. So we will take my weight before the medication. Then every week before my therapist appointment. So she can deal with that issue if it arises.

Victoria'smom · Oct 20, 2024, 10:56 AM

So I found out that the clinic I was part of since I moved here has a psychosis department that gives long acting injections. So I emailed them. Hopefully I get a response Monday.

That’s great!

raspberrytorte · Oct 20, 2024, 01:55 PM

I hope you do, Victoria'smom! 😊

Victoria'smom · Oct 20, 2024, 04:41 PM

So the caplyta takes 2 weeks to see a difference. It doesn't cause weight gain and I'm likely to keep it down. Two things I'm very concerned about. I'm not going to reactive my eating disorder because Drs won't listen to me. I'm loosing touch more easily with reality and very confused.

Possible trigger:

my veins are tight

but I'm not going to fix that. I'm not laughing and crying for no reason today. I don't want medication but this will lead to nowhere good.

Victoria'smom · Oct 21, 2024, 12:29 AM

I

Possible trigger:

don't want to be like this anymore. I'm so much better than I was when I was a teenager but it's never going to be good enough for me. I'm safe because I know the statistics for Victoria if I succeeded. I hate being a **** up, I hate not being able to do things for myself. I didn't think I was in this headspace but I guess I am. What's the point of life if you're allergic to stress. I yet again have to cut my hair. I'm stupid and don't deserve to breathe I'm losing insight and believing Anna. I don't want help. I don't deserve help. I am a waste of a human. I can't do anything right. I ****ed up my kid. The one job I had was to create a happy, healthy child and I couldn't even do that. I'm supposed to be studying, getting my life together instead I'm just sitting in psychosis with little hope it'll go away in the next few weeks. Maybe bloodletting is the answer but everyone is so ****ing controlling I can't do it these bugs are killing me.

What do you do when you don't want help and you just want to fade out? I can't tell anyone it'll scare them. Do I tell T next time I don't want help?
