Has anybody ever actually gone to A&E because they were suicidal or just not coping?

[ABitWrong]

What do they do? Do they let you go? Do they involve SS?

Are you still there?

Am here for a bit.

I take citalopram and apart from making me feel sick for the first couple of weeks, it only had good effects.

I am glad you have been winding wool

I am here

Headache could be a side effect - or could be just a headache. I think they have to put every possible side effect any medicine could ever have on their leaflets.

It is a pretty badone. I don't get them often.
So citalopram didn't make you more suicidal?

No it didn't. I felt a little spaced out but that lessened any sort of suicidal feelings I had.

Didyou notice any difference, good or bad, in the first two weeks?

I feel quitespacey now but that is the diazepam. Oh, andI forgot to eat.

I definitely didn't feel any worse. Felt a sense of relief at having done something. Felt less grey after two weeks or so I think.

Am going to bed now. Hope you get some good sleep.

Hope you slept OK ABW

Sorry I had to dash off FB earlier than I hoped last night, we have the IL's over and everyone goes a bit cats bum face if I spend too long chatting online.

My most noticable side effect with citalopram has been a dry mouth, and I go very light headed the following day if I forget to take it - good in a way as it acts as a reminder. It took a couple of weeks for me to start feeling better but I didn't feel any worse in the interim.

cats bum face is a good description

I needa hug

((ABW))

I do good hugs, being a well cushioned sort.

Do you have any plans for this evening? Something you can do to keep your mind off how you're feeling? You crochet don't you? Perhaps you could start a new project.

Hey ABW, you still okay ot meet tomorrow?

Weather will hopefully be better thsn to day.

Park?

I have an extra child so I can't sit down.
And I have to live in the kitchen because if I ever do sit down somebody wants something.
And there is so much stuff I should be doing and I'm not doing it. It is horrible here.

yes LR

but what if it does rain?

It does not matter that you are not doing it, washing can wait, tidying can wait, cleaning can wait. You are important. Take 5 mins, shut the door and ignore the world

can't, my younger 2 are baking and i have a wailing toddler that doesn't belong to me

Hope you've got rid of extra child

Have to dash now, but have FBed you and will see you tomorrow.

If it rains we'll go to cafe and swoon
And ignore the children

have a lovely meetup tomorrow..x

xx

hell hell hell I am really struggling

It'll be okay, it will.

Has extra child gone now?
Are they all fed?
Can you go to bed fo r abit and leave (d)p with them?

xx

I emailed you ABW... You okay..? x

3 years ago I went to my GP shaking because I wanted to kill myself or leave husband. Normally it is pretty hard to get an app over here, but when the receptionist saw me in that state a doctor was made available straightaway! GP did ask how I felt towards my children and I said that I didn't feel violent towards them (I was never contacted by SS). SHe was ok with that and only talking to her made me feel better. Also she doubled the dose of citalopram and I felt that I was doing something about it and calmed down.
Hope you are better today. I couldn't read the whole thread, sorry. All the best!!

Oh ChocFudgeCake, similar situation!!
I hope things are better for you now.

take it easy abw.

you're doing great! keep strong.

i've been where you are, no doubt i'll be back there again sometime.
cmht are fab and they will help you.

after battling with my doc for the last 10 or 15 yrs of feeling this 'cyclic' depression and waves of suicide and pills, and substance abuse...i finally have a dx at last.
i finally have an appt with a psych when i feel 'normal', instead of seeing an a+e emergency doc and being out of it and post overdose. i fully intend on utilising that appt and hopefully get some proper meds that finally work. (anti d's send me mental)

good luck abw and lots of gentle hugs coming your way x
