I'm suicidal. My psychiatrist is weaning me off of klonopin, and for days I have felt terrified. It's triggering me and I can't control the flashbacks. I tried contacting both my psychiatrist and therapist but neither of them are answering me. It could be because it's only 7:30, but i feel so alone and hopeless right now. If I have to do another day of flashbacks I'm not going to make it.
 
Angelwings, I hope you are willing to call a crisis hot line or go to the ER...unless you are able to hold on until you can get hold of your doctor or therapist. But, I am sure they would want you to be safe, first and foremost and tell you to go to the E R. These have been my instructions from my T....safety first. If your meds are off, the E R would be my "go to." Hold on. This is just your brain throwing a fit. It will calm down. You will get beyond this.
 
I'm okay. My therapist called about half an hour after I posted this. I was able to meet with her and we did some brainspotting. I was able to find a resource point, so now I have a way to calm down a little. It helps. I am still having the terrified feeling, but it's less intense.
