I'm too overwhelmed with life... Help?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm so overwhelmed with life, and I have been for the past 6 months. I went to the psych hospital 3 months ago and was there for a week, was put on medication that helped quite a bit. When I left, I had an appointment to see a therapist. I was sick and missed that appointment, and I called to reschedule. I never heard back from them. I went to the place and talked to the secretary last month, and she said they'd give me a call. Still haven't heard from them, and of course I ran out of refills for my meds. I've been off them for a month now, and I'm rapidly going downhill. I almost left my husband for no reason the other day. I have a bottle of Seroquel for insomnia in my room and I keep thinking about swollowing all of the pills. Also, my mother, who I dont live with, gave away my dog, after I said I wanted her. She's like my child. So, now thats throwing me over the edge even more. I have no feeling of wanting to live anymore. I feel like a lost cause. I just started a new job, and I know I need to go back to the Psych hospital asap, but I can't lose my job. It's really hard to find one here, and were already struggling to get by. I dont know what to say to my boss? I dont know what to do. Someone please give me advice.

Call the therapist's office again and explain the urgency of your situation. If you can't get through to them, I would recommend going back to the psych hospital where at least you'll get put back on meds and they can arrange for you to see a therapist on an ongoing basis. The therapist can then help you get on disability payments if you have indeed lost your job . Your health is the first priority. I really hope you are able to get the services you need and feel good again soon.

Thanks, but I'm not a citizen here, I havent even gotten my green card yet. So, I cant get disability.

Hmm. Well maybe your therapist (once you get one) could help you with job options? If you're feeling suicidal you really need to get help immediately. I know leaving the job thing unsolved probably does not feel great but if you are a danger to yourself that should be tended to immediately!
