  Finding things difficult again. Had a good few days felt like I was in control. I don't feel like that today. Been drinking to control my mood and I know that's not the answer. Finding everything overwhelming. The house is a mess but I can't clean it. I'm not showering or eating. Everything is just getting on top of me again. I'm shaking alot and out of meds for my anxiety. Keep getting upset and having suicidal feelings. Feeling very lost today

  Been finding everything a bit tough again. Been drinking to stabilise my mood but I now think it's becoming a problem. Drinking far to much. Feeling just so fearful. Had to visit a friend in hospital who is seriously ill but I had to drink before it because I just couldn't cope with it. Had to visit my mum because I have to see her once a week so she knows I'm okay and again I was under the influence. I know I'm self medicating, it was working for a while. But I don't think it's working for me...

  Today's I have been quite emotional. Keep coming up with scenarios that haven't happened and crying about them. Finding everything very overwhelming. House is a mess and I can't bring myself to clean it. Or clean myself. Haven't ate anything in 4 days, I just don't want to eat.

  Finally had my appointment with the doctor who has decided to add prozac into my medication routine alongside my anti psychotics. Has anyone had any experience on prozac because iv not heard good things and was told it might lead to manic episodes

  Iv been controlling my mood with alcohol. I know it's not the answer but it stops the anxiety and shear angst iv been feeling of late. Knowing that I'm going to have to stop this cycle does anyone have any suggestions to transfer from alcohol dependent to clean. I drink because it stops the tears and give me a sense of control.

  Spoke to my psychologist today. She said the psychiatric doctor didn't find it necessary to bring my appointment forward (this after a 5 minute phone call with a psych nurse). My appointment is end of May. Iv been getting through the days knowing I was going to start getting help with my condition. Feels very disheartening and frustrating. I know iv been unwell. I know that I need help with illness. Just feel let down. I was holding on to the thought that things were going to get better
