This might be long but please bear with me as I don't want to drip feed. I am a survivor of domestic abuse and sexual abuse. I have been diagnosed with ptsd. I was sexually assaulted at 16 and from 17 -27 i was in an abusive relationship. We were married for 3 of those years. I have been through lots of counselling both one on one and group therapy. I am remarried and we have 2 children (7 and 5). I am now 36. I managed to wean off my strong antidepressants and anti psychotic drugs for my first pregnancy.
Everything flared up for me during a particularly difficult disability assessment (I also have severe physical health problems) 2 years ago. (The person was sacked for gross misconduct over how she handled my case so it wasn't just my opinion that she was heavy handed) Anyway I went back on my antidepressants and have been on them ever since. I also went back to more counselling at this time to deal with panic attacks and flashbacks.
My youngest child is currently being assessed for ASD and has speech delay and associated frustrated behaviour. Recently her sleep has been a problem.
So now that I have explained the background i will get to my aibu and thank you for sticking with me so far. Lately I have been feeling worse and slowly going down the dark hole. I am aware that it is tough for everyone during lockdown and many people have it worse than me and I know the nhs is stretched beyond belief but would i be unreasonable to try to get an appointment with my gp to talk about how I am feeling and see if they could up my prescription? They did say before all this started that my current dose is at the lower end so if I felt I needed more help it could be upped but I would feel bad if I thought I was using up precious resources unnecessarily when the country is basically at war with this virus.
