I was very suicidal and almost hospitalized (I convinced my Dr. that my friend was coming and that I wouldn't do anything) so my friend and then my sister flew in to be with me (they live far).
My sister then told me to come back with her to her city. So now, I have taken a sick leave for approx. 1 mo. from work and am in a new city (that I am not so familiar with) with my sister. What will I do with myself for 1 month? I will be seeing a psychiatrist on Fri., so I'm sure I'll be starting meds again (went off them 1 mo. ago because was having bad side effects). Life is such a rollercoaster. It was so weird - my friend and sister were talking about me and my depression as if suddenly I had become a collection of symptoms, as if suddenly I could no longer make any decisions (although I have to admit, it has been so long that i have slept that my decision-making has probably been quite off). I just felt very helpless... I feel that way still... What am I doing here????? |

Oh, I understand the way you are feeling like you are so well.
Get lots of rest and allow your family to look after you and give you much needed TLC. Take care!

I'm so happy that your sister is helping you.
I do hope that you have success with your Psychiatrist. I have my fingers crossed that you will be able to tolerate the meds. Get lots of rest. That will let your body heal itself. Good luck and come on anytime and vent. Please let us know what the psychiatrist says and how you are doing. Hugs, Boopers
