And, as usual, I'm late in coming to your blog. <BR/><BR/>I can only imagine what it feels like, so I can't really give you any sensible advice except that I think you shouldn't be alone in this kind of situation. I'm sure it would help to be able to speak to someone there and then, not a day later.Babaloohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11453252897926773386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076712181904223864.post-2207686058965947952008-12-23T05:19:00.000+01:002008-12-23T05:19:00.000+01:00Irene, don't distinguish the light.

It is being extreme now, I think, because of the circumstances U find myself in, but I will do as you both suggested and talk to my SPN about it today. Thank you for caring so very much.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076712181904223864.post-47336540054055142652008-12-23T02:34:00.000+01:002008-12-23T02:34:00.000+01:00Irene, Bev is right.

You were compos mentis enough to be thinking it would pass, so you are compos mentis enough to know that isn't right and it's dangerous, especially at this time of year and in this season.<BR/>I also agree with her about the meds. They seem to be taking time to settle in and you may need some other help while they actually start stabilising you. They may need changing, or just take time to start really working as you were told, but you can't risk harming yourself in some way in the ups and downs. <BR/>I wonder if they are fluctuating over the day because you have to take them differently from your old meds.<BR/>Whatever the case, please do as Bev says and ring your psychiatrist to see about getting you some other meds for now - or changing the way you are taking them. They may be interacting badly with your other meds, if you are still taking those. Are you?<BR/>Keep strong and remember your daughter if you get extreme. She has already lost a brother to illness and she needs her mother to live a good long life.<BR/>hugs<BR/>xxxlebanesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988892248196307424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076712181904223864.post-25259135391987382362008-12-23T00:38:00.000+01:002008-12-23T00:38:00.000+01:00Irene, I know what you are saying.However, what ab...Irene, I know what you are saying.<BR/><BR/>However, what about all the top notch blog postings and comments you haven't written, all the books you haven't read, all the films you haven't seen yet, all the creative therapy classes you haven't attended, all the people you haven't met, all the senseos you haven't drunk, all the cigs you haven't smoked......and who would walk the dog:)<BR/><BR/>If you feel like this I would ring someone straight away or see your SCN about changing your medication.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure someone after me will make a more sensible comment. I often wonder whether that certain someone later e mails you to give any outrageous comments I make the once over.....Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676624646066417262noreply@blogger.com
