I wonder if the best way forward for me now is try more medication...right now im on a medication for epilepsy that is used for ptsd and seroquel for anxiety at night. The last time I spoke to him he offered an anti depressant and I said no because the nature of this state of mind is speedy and up anyway, so I thought an anti depressant could be the opposite of what I need and dangerous. He also upped the first medication and then returned it to current dosage when I began feeling more dissociated. But I don't know what to do. I feel very very unwell, and unstable. Yesterday I got triggered from something, then triggered by the fact that im triggered and a day of less torment after a long time--i was able to rest, went back to restlessness. I need to begin a very difficult task in a few weeks that also is very triggering, looking for a house that will take around a month or maybe 2...and the atmosphere is difficult....i am weak...i'm not sure if i need help with medication. I feel frightened of my state.

I am very sorry, Agara, it is a very frightening situation.
I think it is a good idea to have a talk with a psychiatrist so that he can think things through and suggest different things, perhaps you can then do some reading and see what you would like to go with.
It sounds like a very stressful time and I hope you will find something that is helpful though this, it doesn't have to be long term, just through the most difficult times.
Sending my support and hope you will find apartment in time...
I am sending comforting feelings your way.I am not in a state to write much right now but I would say that you could at least consult your doctor and discuss your medication. Then you can make a decision.
best to you Agara
