Sad Sick Hi everyone,

As most of you know, I have been in deep depression for about two weeks now. It has been getting steadily worse and worse.

My doctor is away, and the locum he left in charge wouln't admit me unless I am suicidal. (thinking about lying about it.)

He gets back this week and I am making an emergency appointment tomorrow first thing, before I do do something stupid!Ermm

On Friday I decided to have my best friend and my Eldest daughter and her boyfriend over for a fancy dinner as I is my birthday next week.

I had a complete 'melt down' in front of every body, hysterical crying, shaking,paranoia, helplessness. Boy it was bad. couldn't cope with that again in a hurry.

Unfortunately I am feeling rather close to another episode. I honestly feel as though I am cracking up. Holding on by a thread, literally!

I have been doing alot of rocking, tapping and other repetitive things that usually calm me, but its not!

Not even ativan or xanax brings any relief!

And with the cold weather approaching my fibromyalgia is acting up alot!

How is everyone else?Dizzy

I was afraid of a post like this. I was just thinking about you, wondering how you were doing. I wish you were better. I am so glad your doctor is back in a week but it seems so long to hold on for. I am sorry that some of your normal coping mechanisms don't seem to be helping. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I see this posted on you multiple times so I will delete the repeats for you.

Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts!!I am going to ask my pharmacist. She id geat, I know she will give me 5or6, you can't do much harm to yourself with that. Are you at home my friend? Are you and baby well?

Been in so much of a bad space, I even avoided coming here. Didn't want to bring any of you down, and I think I may have upset some of our more sensitive friends. Was in such an angry, explossive, sad, unhappy place!

You have been having such a hard time lately. Get that emergency appointment tomorrow for sure. You need it. I can't believe you can't get admitted. That is wrong. I'm sorry you are suffering so much right now. I hope your friends supported you when you had such a hard time. I'm thinking of you and hoping that you are better. They better get you in tomorrow. Things will get better in time. Keep us posted on how you are doing today. I'm worried about you.
