I know that failing to keep on top of my mental health issues doesn't mean that I am a failure, but this is the first proper big relapse since my breakdown in 2006 and I am feeling terrible.
I've done all the right things, seen the doctor and been prescribed some short term diazepam and an urgent referral back to my CMHT, who I've been signed off from for the past couple of years. I am recognising triggers and I am using all my coping strategies, but I am feeling like I may have signed the death warrant to my relationship after a proper emotional breakdown last night, and some really paranoid thinking today. We're certainly in a pretty difficult period right now, I may be over reacting about how he feels, I don't know as one of the things right now is that I am not sure what is rational thinking and what isn't.
I've made steps to start dealing with financial issues that I've been struggling with, relieving some pressure, but I'm finding being ill again really a big panic.
Anyone got any advice on a relapse and how they dealt with it? Mainly issues with OCD and GAD, with clinical depression as a side effect to all the worry.
