How Are You Feeling Right Now?

I can say that I had withdrawal symptoms after I stopped Seroquel (actually ran out and insurance wouldn't pay for more) What you describe sounds familiar. Bad stomach cramps also

What I've read since says that the dosages should be gradually decreased, I'm not advising that anything be done without a doctor's involvement

Good to know. Thanks. I’m sorry you went through this, too.

I’m trying to get an appointment scheduled.

I wish I could get out of my skin. I'm so tired of dealing with flashbacks & fighting suicidal impulses. These have brought nothing but pain & trauma to my life. I'm so tired. The increased Effexor XR (150 mg/day) & respiradone (0.25 mg/day) have calmed my C-PTSD down a little but not enough to bring me relief & calm. I'm still trying to figure out what triggered all this daily chaos last Easter. I'm getting more information from inside about a kind of ab*se that I suffered between the ages of 7-12½ years. Honestly, I don't want to know anymore. I really don't. I'm so done. I want to live but I'm so tired. I just want peace. Death would give me that. Sorry for being honest. I'm just so tired. Everything is hard because I'm run down & worn out. This is no way to live. The simplest of tasks are hard to do, no matter working full-time. My life is pathetic at the moment. I don't know when things will settle down for me. I wish it were sooner rather than later. Enough.

I’m over being here. Insomnia, teeth situation involving pain and no improvements for months or resolution in sight although I keep being asked for more money is contributing to me being just totally worn out by it all. This will probably be a boring bed day for the dog and me.
Sorry to hear that. I just had a boring bed night staring at the ceiling but have to work now. Just do my best to get through the day but the appeal of not being here seems to keep growing. 😒 ❤️ to you.

Bit mixed, I'm tired, slept a bit overnight and already busy at the office. Got news from my accountant, I still have a big financial hit, but the work I did over the last month is enough to cover the tax hit, pay the accountant, and even get ahead a little with my taxes. I also got clarification that I can make payments to my account over the year, which will be an easier way to manage it than thinking I have a huge sum in savings, none of which actually belongs to me. If interests rates were higher I'd stick it away for a bit, but it's too tempting. Being up to date with taxes will be a weight off my mind.... At least that's one weight that's a little bit lighter, even if there are other loads!

I feel OK at the moment but I should go to bed. Don't know whether to take the plunge and be sociable this weekend or have a duvet day on Saturday. Decisions! 🤔

I’m feeling exhausted, just my whole body feels worn out, getting through work is so tiring keeping up this facade that I’m okay, just want to stop being a burden on people..
Welcome to SF @N.B 060136. I hope that you know you are not a burden here. Perhaps also not IRL, just your mind telling you so. Also, sorry to hear that you feel so worn out. Life can be so exhausting when you're not feeling well. I hope by being here, you can find some peace and comfort, as the members are a supportive and friendly bunch. *console

Dear @MisterBGone,

Thank you for your kindness. My new clinical psychologist tells me how much she respects becsuse of my strength & courage. Though I don't see myself this way most of the time. Most of the time I see myself as a failure becsuse I struggle so much. I want to share a screenshot of a text message she sent me the evening before she left for her conference/vacation in the UK: 1000005822.jpg
Truth be told, I wish I could be on disability & not work. I'm certain I'd qualify for it. The two problems with being on disability are that I can't live on the amount I'd receive on a monthly basis, &, I wouldn't have the distraction from my problems that having a job provides. I have to put a lot of energy into covering up how I'm feeling so I don't loose my job. But at least when I'm there, having to focus hard on what I'm doing which gives me respite from how I'm feeling. I hope that makes sense. Thank you & hugs!*hug💕
