I can hear an angry shouting voice in my head and I'm scared

I was just feeding DD upstairs and it just came into my head. I couldn't understand what it was saying but it was angry. It's made me all shaky and panicky Help!

I've had one counselling appointment, was supposed to have another yesterday but I forgot. I'm really crap at remembering appointments. I did question the doctor about the Seroxat as I said I didn't like it, she said blah blah blah media panic, only in children etc. etc.

I've never heard voices in my head before. Only once in my last depressive thing which was pretty massive, I had screaming in my head one night. It wasn't quite like this though.

really really thinking of you tonight, I know how crap this feels. You will get through the night and I'm sure your gP will confirm that's it the seroxat. Hang in there.

glad you've got bnf and you're well informed on it all

so we just chill out here, eh?

I'm settling down a bit, still v jittery though. I was about to go to bed, this illness has exhausted me. Now I feel all wired. I haven't eaten much today which probably hasn't helped.

Got to be the Seroxat. Especially after a fortnight.

Thanks everybody, this is really helping. Dp is home tomorrow at 5pm. Typical that this would happen when he's on a long shift.

I don't want this. I want to be ok. I've had a really happy day with DD today.

MY goodness - are you ok? Are you under anyones care? Personally, if it was me I would call the crisis team, would freak me out. Was it like yourself talking to yourself but angry, or an actual voice?

PhantomOfTheChocolateCakeAvena · 19/11/2008 00:09

Go and feed yourself, a sandwich. It's not nice to be hungry. It will make you feel less shakey by raising your blood sugar aswell. Panorama did a coule of programmes a while back about seroxat. The effects can be terrible so it's best to go back.

gigglewitch · 19/11/2008 00:10

Eat NOW, please.
As you know, whether you feel like it or not, you have to eat, drink and sleep regularly to get through depression.
I found out the hard way. Don't do it my way

MostlySockPuppets · 19/11/2008 00:11

this may help? Haven't read yet though

PhantomOfTheChocolateCakeAvena · 19/11/2008 00:12

It's going to be OK. You just had a bad reaction to it. There isn't anything you could have done. Asking for help on here is really brave. You can beat this. You are made of strong stuff.

It was like a little person. God that's sounds really fucking crazy doesn't it. A little man. I could see him and he was jumping around in my head.

I had a cheese sandwich before, and I've just had some Haribo It's because I can't taste anything, I've got no appetite. I usually have the opposite problem.

I wish I'd posted this in chat Now people will be able to read it forever.

It's not crazy. It's not your fault, you are not crazy. He sounds like an annoying twat. The faster you go back to the GP and get off the ad's the better.

Haribo's will make you shakey, too much sugar if you have not been eating. Yogurts? Some porridge?

gigglewitch · 19/11/2008 00:17

re-read Avena's last post. You're strong, and you've proved it posting here. May help somebody else in future so don't be

Just concentrate on getting nice and calm and relaxed [and FED] for now eh?>

PhantomOfTheChocolateCakeAvena · 19/11/2008 00:18

It's fine. Just ask MN to deleat the thread. You really do have nothing to be ashamed or or embarassed about. Now, if you said you wanted to pierce your baby's ears, this would be different.

toast? jam butty?

roffle at ear-piercing ...I went on that thread too

solidgoldbrass · 19/11/2008 00:23

Eat something and try to sleep. Auditory hallucinations ie hearing voices happens to lots of people when they are tired - and if you have a newborn you are going to be short on sleep. It may well be linked to your meds and the lack of sleep increasing it.

Honestly, loads and loads of people occasionally hear voices - it's just a little misfire in the head. And yes it has happened to me a time or two (no meds, severe prolonged sleep deprivation due to rubbish job a few years ago).

Well DD is 15 months but might as well be a newborn [yawn] I'll try and get some sleep soon. I do hope it's just a blip.
