im plagued with
Possible trigger:


and consequently unwanted, disturbing, intrusive and obsessive thoughts. especially at night when i can distract myself.

im losing my support system on purpose to set them free from me.

i have stopped taking my meds because they slow down my metabolism and im developing anorexia.

im 41, too old for this.

i cant take it anymore and nobody seems to understand it.

please, someone help me

I am so very, very sorry you are in the situation you describe in your post. You mention that you stopped taking your meds. Did you do this gradually under the supervision of a physician? Sudden discontinuation of mental health meds can often lead to distressing outcomes and unimaginable suffering. You probably already know this.

I know that the side effects of meds can be brutal sometimes but losing one's peace of mind and joy of living can be even worse.

I went off my meds because of side effects and all kinds of horrible things happened to me. Wish I knew what to say to help you. Hopefully others here will have better words for you than my poor words. My heart goes out to you!

Please go to a hospital emergency department for help. None of us here are mental health professionals and you deserve the best that is available. We wouldn't want to lose you!

Possible trigger:
cause i cant take it anymore, truly.

i quit some meds altogether, now they're giving me them back. they said it will take from 6 to 10 weeks to get back to normal. i cant take that.

I am so sorry, could you take yourself to the hospital? Take yourself to emergency? If I felt how you described, that’s what I would do. Don’t know if it will help but it doesn’t sound like it could get any worse. Maybe do that?

Hello,

I know it is difficult especially when it comes to taking psychotropic meds; sometimes, it takes a number of different medications to find the right one that works for you

Thinking about you, sinking!!

I have also had a psychotic breakdown and also depression with psychotic features.

It's a relief to know you are in hospital and are safe... Hang in there!

Hugs!
