I've had a better day today. My attitude has improved. I think the increase in Zoloft is helping. I am just tired now and I worry about going to bed and waking 2 hours later.

Feel like I am missing all my opportunities! My sister came over today, and I hardly said anything. I need to step it up.

I don't want to ever circle a five but I'm scared of myself and I don't think IP would help.

If you need to keep yourself safe, circle the 5. HUGS Kit

This morning was pretty rough. But things are better now. It's raining and I have my slider open. I'm enjoying the sounds and the cool air.

I chickened out and circled the 4 though I so desperately wish I circled the 5. I might have someone take me to the ER but I'm going to try and wait until after my therapy appointment tomorrow.

Suffering quite a bit right now. But you know how it is, we find our way.

MuddyBoots · Aug 31, 2021 at 10:22 AM

I can't reach out for help. I just typed in the crisis line number in my phone and then walked around for like 30 minutes before deleting the number. Two hours til therapy. I'm going to be 100% honest.

HUGS @Sapien I hope your therapy appointment goes/went well.

MuddyBoots · Aug 31, 2021 at 01:26 PM

T wants me in the hospital. My mom's going to bring me tonight. I don't know what they can do to make me feel better.

SlumberKitty · Aug 31, 2021 at 01:35 PM

HUGS @Sapien maybe the hospital can adjust your medications or something like that? I've been IP once and honestly didn't find it very helpful but it is a place to go where there are no outside pressures and you can just rest from the world for a bit. I hope you feel better soon. HUGS Kit

I woke up depressed. I've been dealing with it for hours. I'm just now starting to feel better.

I feel pretty worthless today. I haven't been able to do much and I can't bring myself to take a shower. I have an appointment on Friday. I have to do something. All l managed to do today is wash dishes. I needed to take my trash out. But I was too anxious about it. I feel like my life is pointless. My cat keeps crying. I'm not even a good cat mom. I'm zero, garbage and a waste of space.

Dear @Deilla, you know you are experiencing common symptoms of depression & anxiety. Your cat probably senses something is wrong, so cries. The world is depressing on top of your own depression. And you very definitely have value. I'm very thankful that you are here with us.

Hugs & love to you, dear friend!!

Tomorrow is my intake for the possible virtual IOP. I have to go to the intake in person so I took a sick day from work because it is two hours away. Then I will probably hit traffic. I'm concerned about the intake but I can't really articulate why. IDK if it is fear of the unknown or if they won't let me qualify for the IOP like the last one or what. I'm nervous but I am trying not to be.

I've been having terrible dissociation & the voices are being painfully cruel.
