Something flipped

[AZ1970]

Last night after having a flashback I literally felt something shift in my brain. Today I’m not ok. This is the first step in the cycle that leads to the hospital. I don’t want to do that. I will call my clinic on Monday. I hope they can help.

yeah....it sounds pretty serious and probably not something you want to jump into about in casual conversation....you would want to for sure be guided through this with a professional to keep you safe and on track. Glad you saw the red flag and were able to catch yourself to know you needed to seek immediate help....that's a really good thing.

How are you doing today?

[AZ1970 in reply to Hidden]

A bit better. I’m cutting myself off from any stress. I spoke to my case manager this morning. She gave me the numbers for crisis so I can talk to someone if it happens again. I see my therapist tomorrow. I hope she can help me with some tangible ideas. I really appreciate you asking. HUGS!

That’s great to hear! Hugs back

I hope you are feeling a little better today. I felt the exact moment the switch went off in my brain that sent me into a whole new level of mental health issues. I'm so sorry you've felt that too. How are you feeling now?

Teddy, I am not glad you experienced the same thing, but it is so reassuring to know someone else understands. There is a definite before and after. My brain has not been the same since. I see my doctor today. Things got worse last night. I started having images flash through my head of hurting myself. I made sure I as safe last night. Thank you for asking.

I hope your doctor is able to help you find some relief. I'm sorry you're dealing with this. It will get better!

I’m so sorry AZ. You are such a source of wisdom and comfort here to many. I just hate these mental health struggles we have to endure. We shouldn’t have to suffer this pain. It isn’t fair!

It takes strength to know when it’s too much for you to wrangle on your own and time to seek help. I have felt myself teeter on that edge a few times.

I hope you get to feeling much better soon. These dark clouds will pass and the sun will shine again. You are in my thoughts.
