I hope your pdoc figures it out today. You shouldnÂ’t have to go through this, and I agree that where you are at right now is unacceptable and unsustainable. Where are you at in terms of safety and self care right now?

Victoria'smom · Oct 18, 2024 at 12:54 PM

I haven't done genesight. I'm so frustrated. I'm asking for help before I loose it but no.

Victoria'smom · Oct 18, 2024 at 01:02 PM

Possible trigger:

almost tried to tear my veins out of my wrist with my teeth at 3 am last night while laying in bed next to h.

my self care is ****ed. Eating is ****ed. I'm convinced I'm going to gain a ton of weight on whatever I'm put on. I'm trying but I almost want madness to take me away and be like told you.

Victoria'smom · Oct 18, 2024 at 01:42 PM

Her answer is Caplyta. I want to say no, I want to cry, I want to throw things. Why can't people understand that I can't take pills especially now.

Forgive me for not remembering but why can’t you take pills?

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!!!!

Victoria'smom · Oct 18, 2024 at 02:35 PM

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.

raspberrytorte · Oct 18, 2024 at 05:49 PM

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 at 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 at 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 at 09:26 PM

i recently switched pdocs bc mine was pushing clozaril on me and not listening! i TOLD HER i just needed haldol. i took it fo 2 weeks and im basically back to baseline now. i know myself really well and had been on haldol fo years successfullly. i was also paranoid she wanted me psychotic bad so she could IP Me

maybe worth another opinion

Can't write that... Silly me.

MuddyBoots · Oct 19, 2024 at 11:30 AM

How are you holding up today?

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

Random angry crying 😭 for the win.

BeyondtheRainbow · Oct 19, 2024 at 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 at 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 at 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 at 06:16 PM

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