I have no energy anymore

[Baileybasil]

I have nothing to live for, my psychiatrist put me on another pill when I went in to complain about and change the medication I’m on. Now I’m all doped up and nothing is changing. My ex is sending me videos of her with other guys. I’m so sad. I told my gp I’m suicidal and all he said was lower my dose of medication and wait 4 weeks. No one cares. I’m alone. I have nothing.

I can’t talk to anyone until march.

Everyone talks about how meds have changed their lives, I don’t notice any positives. I just want to be able to function

I’m in north qld, resources for mental health are lacking over here, I doubt they would have anything like that if I stress that I’m suicidal and just get told to suck it up

Every day is getting harder

It's really unethical for ppl who say meds have changed their lives to assume it's like that for anyone

Meds damaged my life.

I'm very wary of them.

The health system is awful, there's no way to seek help unless unhave a way around it, a way in.

U might need to try many times tomget a result from the system.

If j were u I'd call the psych, call the triage, try and try until u reach someone u can speak to safely.

Not everyone talks about meds helping them.

Google prescribed harm.

Some of the comments don't seem factuallyncorrect, why would there not be a public hospital in North Queensland which helps ? I'm in Victoria, and there are a few places here,

There's also places like wellways, mind, etc, which help, and there's Lifeline and beyondblue, Australia wide call numbers.

How do u know that because Ur jn North Queensland, the hospital woild tell u such it up?

Do u think it is because I'm in Victoria that I got help from the public system?

I think it's coz I tried twenty times and didn't give up. And I pushed.

[Baileybasil]

I’ve already given up though, there’s no reason to be better only reasons to be more sad

[Guest_1643]

Giving up is always an option.... to leave things as they are, and learn to accept Ur situation and find what good is in in there

But it's a choice not to pursue help, it's not because the hospital is dangerous or they'll just tell u to suck it up.If that has not happened, how do u know ?

[Baileybasil]

I can’t get to the hospital without my sister driving me and I don’t know what they’d do

no ones telling me what the process is when you go in for that reason

Hello Baileybasil, if you go to your doctor, as you have, and told them that you feel suicidal, then they normally want to admit you straight into a hospital to protect yourself and as this didn't happen then may be you could make an appointment with someone else, because you can't sit and wait, there needs to be a bit of determination by you and that's not easy to do, especially when you're locked into feeling like this.

I say this because as soon as someone gets some type of depression, it may draw instant attention but after a while family/friends want to move on because everything they suggest doesn't seem to be working, so they have no often but go away, and I say this with the greatest respect to you.

We only think negatively so there are no pro's and if someone else mentions that this might help you, that's when you dismiss it straight away because these pros develop slowly such as, going for a walk around the block, going down the street rather than laying in bed, it's one step at a time because it's impossible to run.

I can’t find joy in things like that, I really dislike the place I live so it’s hard to enjoy anything

I don’t see how a week in hospital is going to help, I don’t want to be looked at I’m too anxious to do it

I’m out of money now I won’t be able to afford my meds so I’ll be forced to go through even more when I’m like this

Hello Baileybasil, can I ask you if you are receiving Centrelink payments each fortnight, because your pharmacist may allow you to book up the medication until you get paid.

If you live in Vic you can google this 'emergency housing in Vic' and I'm sure other states also have this and ring them on 1800 825 955.

Geoff.

I’m not on any payments atm no
