I’m seriously considering running away

[WeirdHandDryers]

I’ve been signed off work for two weeks after a melt down AT work.

Mental health team put me on 50g quetiapine in April and waved goodbye to me. I was supposed to have a follow up 3 months later but it never happened.

Went to GP on Wednesday, she signed me off work, increased my meds to 100mg and is going to push for full psychiatric assessment. I’ve been on 100mg since Wednesday night.

Today I went to get my hair cut, didn’t want to go home (after weeks of not being able to leave the house for anything other than work) so went Christmas shopping.

Now I’m sat here considering doing a runner. Reinventing myself completely somewhere new. I don’t know if it’s the increase in dose or my mental state but the longer I sit here, the more appealing it feels. Not sure why I’m posting other than to ask if anyone has ever felt like this? And did you do it?

I've thought of running away, but you take your problems with you. Unfortunately!
I've no experience of quetiapine I'm afraid

Yes to this. I can't run away, I have a husband and three children, a relatively responsible job, but I cannot stand being me right now. Obviously I would still be me somewhere else but it's a very tempting concept that I could reinvent myself and not be me. Except I can't.

 just read your other thread and I understand why you think about running away. I don't really have any constructive advice but hope it all gets better for you @WeirdHandDryers

I want to run away right now myself. But also on some level realise that my problems will just still be there and i'll have added to them. Not sure how to help, so sorry you feel like this. It does truly suck.
