This is going to be very long, apologizing in advance. But I really need help, some words of encouragement, anything. It all started last year, I was living in NY with my aunt..I was on prozac and lamictal (when I remembered to take it) and in January I began the birth control pill, sprintec. I was drinking and smoking during this time, I've been drinking and smoking since I was 15. But anyway, in February, my ex boyfriend broke up with me, so I tried to "kill myself" even though I didn't really want to end my life I just wanted him to get back with me, so I went into a psychiatric facility for about 4 days. When I got out I was so happy because he came back to me. But I had been skipping birth control and we had unprotected sex, so I took the emergency contraceptive (plan b/morning after pill) called Ella. A few days after that I had CRAZY thoughts and anxiety, I've had anxiety and harm ocd my whole life but it had disappeared over the past couple years.. I started thinking I didn't love my boyfriend, I knew I did. I started having anxiety that I was falling out of love.. But then I started having thoughts about going to my school and shooting everyone, so I told my aunt, and I moved back to Georgia where my mom was living. I flew to georgia on a Saturday night and as soon as I got there my mom took me to a hospital, still had minor anxiety, they put me in impatient. One night all of a sudden I was like "I'm not cara, I don't feel like Cara, who's cara?" I fell asleep, the next day I woke up with NO anxiety but I felt like I was going insane. They discharged me and the next day I overdosed but not to die, just to get into another hospital. I literally lost my mind, I felt like I was going crazzzy. I wanted to kill everyone around me, I had no emotions, no empathy. Nothing. I didn't enjoy life, I hated it. I ripped my hair out that night, I'm still not sure why. Anyway to summarize the next few months after that, I was so confused, felt like I was dreaming (still am), and when I looked in the mirror I didn't know who I was looking at (still the same). I was on SO many antidepressants and other psychotropic medications between the month of march and June, I even had electro convulsive therapy which did not work at all even after 12 sessions, I actually felt worse. I was then admitted to a long term facility. I wanted to kill everyone. I got angry so easily. I felt like I was losing my mind and again my doctor switched my medications all the time. I was extremely suicidal for a month, and tried to kill myself on a therapidic leave that I had for a day (which meant I could leave the hospital for a day to spend time with family) and I overdosed. I wanted to die so bad I ripped out all the ivs and kicked nurses and jumped out of the stretcher, that went away about a week after I got back to the hospital.. I just recently got out, I'm so irritable and homicidal. I have no empathy and compassion, I'm empty. I used to be someone with a loving heart, I looooved people. If I saw someone hurt, my heart hurt for them. When my dog I had for 12 years died I was an emotional wreck. I was super close with my grandma and I would have done anything for her. When I used to have thoughts about killing people my anxiety would go through the roof.. I wouldn't be able to move and I had heart palpitations and I would cry, just cry because I felt so horrible... Now I feel nothing. And no one understands!!!! I have NO anxiety and it scares me. But I do know I have dp and dr..I feel like I have no control over anything I say or do. I missed my period last month.. Could be because I haven't gotten my 3rd shot and I DONT want to. I don't understand what's wrong with me?! Am I a psychopath now? Could it be hormonal? I've had breast discharge and irregular periods?I don't want to be one. I want to enjoy life, I want to think its beautiful again. I want to look at my girlfriend (who I dated 3 years ago and we're back together) and feel the way I did when we were first together. I was so happy. I've almost forgotten what it feels like. I'm so irritable all the time. I just hate life. Please help me. I want empathy I want to look at life the same way I want to love people. I want to be happy. I just want this to end.
