Hi.
I am alittle confused or perhaps suborn is a better word to use to describe my attitude to the problems that I seen to encounter getting my medication.
Maybe I just need to vent because I know what people may say but I just wanted a different perspective.
I was put on lithium whilst I was in hospital for 2 months on the psych ward. Since leaving hospital, my doctors will only give me 7 days meds which I guess is because they <mod edit - guidelines> and they have a duty of care.
I have had problems with them before even getting them to prescribe things authorised by my psychiatrist!
They are a good practice in all other ways but
my patience has now run out because despite ordering the meds in ample time, I was told it was not ready and they needed more than 48 hours notice!
I know this sounds like I am having a childish tantrum but I was pretty much forced to take them under a section whilst in hospital and now I can not even get them.
By the time I have taken a few days meds, it's time to order them again.
So I have not had the lithium now.
When I was hospitalised, I was found by the police and it was a serious event.
I do still feel suicidal on lithium, maybe not to the extreme but the reason I feel suicidal is because I need my son and no meds will cover the pain of our separation.
I have been trying to distract myself with anything and everything but when resting thoughts are problematic.
I do have a support network which consists of a couple of close friends (one is a nurse). Part of me thinks I should te them but know they will get annoyed if I don't chase it up.
I'm just so fed up with this situation and feel like I do not have the time or energy to waste on such drama.
Please feel free to tell me to "get a grip" if that's what you think. I kind of think that too but I have just been pushed over the limit
Love so so tired
