I knew that I would not have any income for 30 days because that's when my long term disability was to start paying me. I had planned on that. Even then, I would start running out of medications before that. I just received a letter that it's going to be another 30 days. I take 20 different medications. I can't be out of all my medications for 30 days as most of them are for my heart. I've already received 2 eviction notices. I took twice my dosage of Lorazepam and it's not having any affect on the anxiety at all. I'm going to take twice the dosage again. I would much rather just go to sleep and never wake up than die from a heart attack. I'm already having chest pains.

I'm so sorry you're going through such a terrible time loum... If I were you I'd ask your doctor to refer you to a social worker asap... There's often help to be had if we know where to look for it and social workers often do
Your doc may be able to get you some med samples to help you over this time
Great big hug for you...x

Loum, my heart aches for you. I wish I had a magic solution to your situation. My advice would be much like Jan's. Take the time to look for options through your proc, therapist, local hospital, church, etc. Our church here rarely says no to someone in need of meds. Even if you don't belong to a church, please call St. Vincent DePaul society or look for a local community med share. Loum, over the years I have always admired your strength and will and I don't like hearing you in so much pain and fear. You deserve better than what you have been dealt. Please don't give up, you are too important to others and we need you to here and I am sure others need you in your life. You are in my heart and prayers......xo

Loum, call the free clinic and ask if they know how you can get there.

Is there any reason not to kill myself? I'm sorry to be so negative, but that is the nature of major depression. I see no way out. I hope that 16 mg of Ativan will do it. It would probably work better if I got some Southern Comfort to go with it. I'll sleep on it and make my decision Monday.
