I find myself going places in the car and not wanting to get out of the car. I come back home and I don't want to get out of the car. I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort.

Wow, it's the middle of the week already!Today is our 11 year anniversary, so we're going out to a nice dinner. I'm losing a lot of sleep these days, hence a wonky schedule and uncomfortable feelings. But I know it will pass, eventually.I hope all of you have a peaceful day, and may good things come your way!
Sorry to hear you're struggling. Many of us go through these episodes. Crashing from an episode is a bitch. You have to remember that this too shall pass. I know without your girl all seems lost but it's really not. You will be okay. It may take a bit but you will be okay.
What meds are you taking? Is there something you can maybe take to lessen these feelings and hallucinations? I would also suggest that you call your pdoc immediately. I'm sure your pdoc can help you through this episode.
I know all seems lost but it will work itself out just give it some time. You're gonna have to work at it some. Fight the urge to do something desperate, Jesse. You are stronger than this disorder and you will come out of this.
Jesse, hang in there. I am here if you need someone to talk to. I want you to update us and let us know that you're okay. Today is a new day. Embrace it.

until you can get medical treatment, lithium orotate is obtainable without a script. It is not considered toxic as it is highly absorbable compared to lithium carbonate or aspartate.
it is fairly inexpensive too but you have to take it every few hours
it is there as a last resort.
