Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I'm sure you already know that regularly mixing alcohol with the medications you are taking is not good for you and is not going to help you in the long run.
Please talk to your doctor about how you feel, your sleep difficulties, and how unhappy you are at home. Is there specialized transportation you can use to get to and from a partial hospitalization program or clubhouse? Perhaps inpatient care would be good to get you stabilized on medications and to have some intensive therapy and activities, and planning for after-care so you don't return to the same situation after you leave the hospital.
Please do not give up and decide there is nothing else that can be done. You will have to keep fighting for yourself and what you need, but you can get to a better place, a better life.
The concurrent use of Haldol and lithium is fairly common in psychiatry. As long as the person's blood level of lithium is closely monitored, there should be no problems. While you had a bad result with it, I don't think the result is because your doctor was not providing good care. I think it was just one of those things that happen to a few patients with every medication or procedure.
I am very concerned about you, and hope that you will talk to your doctor today. Please keep us updated on how things are going.
I think debah is right in her post above. Give the outside world and any services they can offer you a chance.
Please, please call your doctor. Or go to the ER. Don't keep doing what you are doing. That is not life, and you DO have choices. You don't have to live like this. Don't just tell us here what is going on, tell someone in real life so you can get the help you need.
With the way you are misusing your medications and mixing them with alcohol, it's impossible to tell what your mental state really is. The medications might help you if you took them as they are prescribed.
Your life cannot get better with you abusing drugs to sleep for days at a time. It's going to take work, but you can do it IF you choose to. I cannot stress enough how important it is for you to TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR...TODAY or GO TO THE ER!!
so, yu need to get into some therapy and try to live life the best yu can while getting help
I know its easier to just go to sleep and escape from this world, reality of all yur bad thoughts and stuff yu don't want to face or deal with anymore...
but let me tell yu sleeping your life away is a very slow death, and no noone will help yu sleep till yu die.
