I'm stuck

[Mariposa82]

I've been stuck in this dark place for some time. I recently got to the point I needed to seek help. I did a virtual consult/eval with a psychiatrist who told me 2 of my medications have an interaction rendering the effectiveness of each other and both meds are the go to meds after others have failed. I was livid bc I've been on these meds 1 for almost a year now and the other at least 3 years and no one bothered to let me know until now. Virtual doc said he can't really help bc he's limited on what he can prescribe. Understandable. So I turn for help to the mental health resources in my city and surrounding cities and it took me calling every single dr/agency listed and finally found one but I still had to wait. If I was suicidal or homicidal then they would commit me which is not what I want. I just want help to get out of this place bc it's affecting everything in my life and Idk what else to do. On the surface everyone thinks I'm put together but I'm not. Far from it actually lol. I have a few friends but they have their own lives and we don't talk that often unless something is needed. My husband tries his best to help but he has his own mental health to worry about and I can't tell my family bc my sister has enough going on for all of us annnndddd she depends on me to get her through it. My kids are struggling with their mental health (which I blame myself for) and my oldest just graduated high school and is trying to figure out her life. I've lost interest in everything. I wish I could see and be the me peoples think I am.

Mariposa, I'm sorry you are going through this but on the other hand not surprised.Medication combinations can cause ill effects with many. It's one thing when the doctor

prescribes the meds and yet another when we add over the counter or holistic medications on our own.

I hope you get this sorted out soon and find your life once again. Good Luck dear xx

I hope you are able to get your meds straightened out so you can move forward in a positive direction. I have family with mental health issues. I understand the challenges and wish you the best.
