Things go downhill so quickly! TW!

Postby Thompson99 » Tue Jul 29, 2014 2:48 pm

Been feeling really on top of things until the last few days, one thing after another just stressing me out and all together they have become too much to handle. Back on the drink after month's without it and already taking way too many meds. How did I get to this point today? My CPN is away this week so feeling really uneasy about how to pull myself out of this. Its been a couple of months since I was last sectioned and I really don't want to spiral back there. All my usual coping strategies have been surpassed, things have just escalated so quickly!

I've been feeling the same way lately. My best advice is just try to distract and focus on something like a hobby or whatever....just try really hard to distract yourself and send negativity away. Ok, easier said than done I know and I'm struggling with that too.
But stay away from drinking it will only make things worse, trust me.

Sorry that you feel the same way!

For some reason nothing seems to distract me and I get more and more distressed. I ended up unconscious last night after my concoction of meds but luckily my husband didn't call anyone so I have slept it off. I'm feeling a bit worse for wear today so a bad start to what I knew would be a bad day

I know what it feels like when nothing seems to work, and it's hard to give good advice when I'm in the same situation, but maybe you can try thinking something like "ok, it's a bad situation, but things will get better". Just don't give up and stay strong.
