I'm in a bit of a state.
Woke up with so much OCD anxiety- so many things that aren't right that need doing to make me feel better. But depression is winning, because I have no motivation or interest in doing anything apart from sit here and cry.
Possible trigger:
My psychiatrist said that the psychosis might ease off when the depression does... When is this depression going to end?! I'm doing everything I can and should be doing to get well. Im taking all of my medication. I've increased my anti depressants. Im ignoring Georgina as much as I can. Im telling her to go away and come back later. Im trying to reason with her. I'm trying to be positive. I'm looking forward to the future. When that doesn't work I'm trying to be in the moment... Arrgh When apriprazole was suggested to me instead of my quetiapine (that is doing nothing but de motivate me and make me sleepy with restless legs) the side effects were crappy so we decided against them. Grrr I need to get out of this hole :-( Any advice? |

You need a different medication, probably an antipsychotic. I'm on Abilify now and I love it. If you are hallucinating and/or under a great amount of distress, I would go to the hospital so you can get your meds straightened out. Best wishes!!

Quote:
PTSD and depression also makes my ADD a lot worse. And toss in ACOA, the mix becomes combustible.  Even my T wasn't able to sort any of this out for me. I dumped her, and am going to get a new one. But I am not confident I will be able to find a T who has a thorough grasp on the complex workings of each of my conditions, not to mention be able to understand how they "play off" each other. With my T, I was actually having to educate her about ADD/ADHD and ACOA as she knew nothing about either of these. (Isn't she the one who should have been the expert?) Then, she refused to believe much of what I told her, but wouldn't go out and educate herself. (I guess this is because she wasn't going to put in any time on my case that she wouldn't get paid for.) So, yeah, I don't have magic words for you, either, only empathy. But it sounds like you are doing everything you know to do. Hang in there!--Ceara1010
