I have been down for years and had a failed suicide attempt over Christmas every day they live in fear of another.

I don't get out of bed. I'm seeing things hearing things and I won't allow my dc to attend school because I'm scared they will be abducted. Every time I use my phone there is a noise like someone is hacking it but only I can hear it.

I have started using drugs to alleviate my pain.

I wish every night that I'll die in my sleep.

My mum and partner both work and are very mentally tired with looking after me in shifts as best they can. I want addmittance but I'm scared to go to crisis in case social services are involved.

Not long until Thursday now. Have you tried meds from the doctors before? Are there any that helped you in the past? I had mirtazapine and olanzapine which helped. They did maybe me quite woozy though but that was OK, I think I needed the sleep.

Olanzapine and depakote really helped me but I had to stop both because of side effects.

What were the side effects? I also had Quitiepine suggested to me if I didn't get on with the others. It's good to hear you did get results with some meds, maybe it will be a case of tweaking things till you get one that suits you. I found Mirtazapine helpful but made me drowsy so after a while changed to Fluoxetine.

Hope you get a good psychiatrist who is ready to help you with eg side effects.

Thanks the side effects were weight gain and dreadful hair loss.

I had weight gain too, it gave me an awful hunger.. not the hair loss though, that is not good Sad

Make sure you tell this to the psychiatrist so they can possibly offer you something else. It would be a shame if side effects stopped you taking it
