I'm really struggling

Do you mind me asking what antipsychotic you take?

Invega, low dose

@bellbird I'm soo sorry you're feeling this way! I was feeling a lot of the way you are, in addition to extended hypervigilance/arousal. And the dreams and the waking up in sweat. - just extremely recently. And I'm dealing with the depression, and SI now. I haven't read through the other replies but maybe returning to hospital for maybe a 3 day stay? Again, I wish I could help you but I'm right there with you - almost admitted myself this week. I just wanted you to know that you weren't alone, going crazy, etc... I really hope you feel better soon! Remember that there are the good days... I had forgotten that even during crisis, depression, as rare as they can be at first, there are the good ones too.

How does a self admission work?

Thank you. I really hope you feel better soon too.

@bellbird I had never self admitted or been admitted before, but it helps if your therapist and psychiatrist if you have one knows that the one day last time wasn't enough. Then you go to the nearest hospital ER - an actual hospital - and just tell them. Call up your therapist for sure. Sometimes they transfer you to a different hospital that has the appropriate wards. Thank you @bellbird I appreciate that. I know I'm not out of the woods yet... but... day by day. Same with you - my heart goes out to you and I hope you make a break through, hell I hope we both do.

Thanks, I will discuss this with the psychiatrist on Tuesday, and with my T whenever I'm seeing her next- mind is a bit of a blur.

Thank you. Yes, same to you @Happyplace76

OK, I'm going to be very direct concerning your medications - take them! These pages are filled with the details of other people in crisis and very often the most common feature is that they're refused the medications offered. DO THEY REALLY SOUND AS IF THEY KNOW BETTER?

I love seeing you making plans to get through this. So glad you're here, @bellbird :hug:
