Overwhelmed

[Angelwings]

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.

What dose were you on and what dose are you on now? Your taper could be too drastic.

If you are not safe and cannot get in touch with dr. go to the ER, go somewhere safe. So sorry it is affecting you so.

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 suicidal.

If you are concerned you may act on these thoughts, and your therapist hasn't been able to get back to yet, please go to the ER, or call a crisis line.

Do you have any helpline numbers you could call?

 

[Angelwings]

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.
