I don't know what to do. I feel like I can't control my thoughts anymore, and I'm scared where they're taking me.

Are you alone? Can you talk to a live person right now?

I was in your position eight days ago due to a medication change a few weeks earlier. I was able to call my doctor the next day. Are you on any meds?

deleted_user 09/26/2009

Hi, I can so relate. Are you taking medication for your thoughts?

AprilStar 09/26/2009

I'm on meds, but my Dr.'s taking me off of them at the moment. It's 2:00 a.m. here, there's no one else around but my and my kitty.

Can you call your fiance? Does he understand?

AprilStar 09/26/2009

He's in Tennessee at his brother's right now, I can't call him.

Will you make a contract with me one day at a time--that you won't hurt yourself, or will call for help?

AprilStar 09/26/2009

I don't know if I can do that.

Would it help to talk to someone verbally? There are crisis hotlines below.

AprilStar 09/26/2009

I REALLY don't know if I can do that. I have a really hard time making phone calls.

AprilStar 09/26/2009

Ugh, my mind is messed up. I can't even make a simple phone call? What's wrong with me? :'(

AprilStar 09/26/2009

I just did something stupid . . .

deleted_user 09/26/2009

I'm up for the day and see your latest message. I don't know what you did, but you are crying for help. Please call a crisis line or 911.

I have to be gone most of the day so I won't be able to check the messages. I will be praying for you.

I feel bad for posting those things last night. I feel like I was just complaining and shouldn't be bothering anyone with my problems. I'm sorry.

deleted_user 09/27/2009

Don't worry about bothering anyone if you are thinking scary things. Sounds like you may be feeling a little better though?
