Come off the more popular boards to post here.

I really am - i have support from the mental health team and GP but T4 has completely wrecked me.

Yep. Struggling here. Tier 4 and feel so low and absolutely crushed by everything. I have 2 young children. It should be a happy time. I feel awful but not looking forward to Christmas or January at all.

@Siennabear I am really sorry to hear that.

I kind of hoped when I posted no one would reply and that I was the only one feeling like this.

I feel like I have just kept holding on and holding on and doing all the right things and nothing is getting better. T4 was just the worst thing even though I understand why it has had to happen.

I'm sorry to hear you're struggling.

I wasn't happy this morning, had to care for a dying lady & it brought back some sad memories. I felt quite upset at work & then paranoid so took a (prescribed) Promethazine to help me relax for the rest of the shift.
Ive been overspending & overeating out of control really too.

The lady at the cmht had the attitude that as my psychiatrist is on leave she would just get me another prescription which I did want, but she didn't want to hear about my problems really.
I've got Schizoaffective mixed type, usually I'm more in the depressed side but recently I'm a bit too much the other way. Plus I was really tired today and hearing a strange voice.
Sorry just going on!!

I can totally relate. I was getting through each day ata time but my sons school had to close early and it’s all felt pretty deflating from there. I worry for our children’s future.
It was quite funny at first that out area was the worst in the country now it frightens me about what will happen.

I’m sorry you’re struggling. You’re certainly not alone.

@Siennabear - I suspect we are close to each other from what you have written. I am also worrying about the future, I cannot see how we can be back to normal any time soon and that worries me.

@Tehmina23 - sorry to read you are also struggling. I actually just got prescribed medication for the first time in two years today again. I really need it at the moment. I have DID and actually have lost my main voice recently which I am finding really upsetting. It's like losing my comfort to not have him talking to me regularly.
