re: Depression/Suicide Support Thread

I am sorry you're going through this rough spot. How are you coping?

Probably the most unhealthy ways possible :/

Cutting again.

I journal
try and spend time outside
but the girls go to school
Im home alone

  Have you thought of getting a hobby? Try something challenging. I try to keep myself busy with projects so that I don't start thinking and getting depressed.

I do photography. It's ok I enjoy it.

I do too. I haven't been doing it in a while though.

I pop in here every so often :/ I have a baby daughter named Lucy who was a year old on July 6. I was in the hospital from April to September. I have custody of Lucy again. We live with my family. I am on disability now. I get child support. Her father has never seen her. I'm the best parent for her. I have a boyfriend that loves Lucy like his own.

But I feel stuck. I feel like I'm the worst person. I missed out on so much of her little life. I saw her twice when I was in the hospital. She is special needs with seizures.

I can't afford my medications. I'm going down the same road I was in April. This is the third time in about a year I was in the hospital. Lucy was in the NICU from July to October of last year. I couldn't handle it. My parents have been great and have taken custody of her every time but I'm scared I will lose custody of her.

I have an eating disorder and have had to remind myself to feed Lucy. I'm to the point of giving up. I don't know what else to do. I'm at my wits end. Lucy is extremely well behaved. She's sleeping right now. I couldn't have gotten a better baby.

The hallucinations are getting worse, the anxiety is getting really bad, I'm not sleeping at all. I'm extremely depressed.

Please help I don't know what else to do...

I can contract for safety that's one of the things living here I've had to do. I won't hurt myself my daughter. I cannot go back to the hospital. They will keep me for longer I know this. They almost didn't want me to get discharged this time.

I'm from wyoming

Ok, well based on the fact that you're still having hallucinations, I think they are right in thinking it was a bit early for you to be discharged.
Sounds to me like they need to just adjust your medication and you will be fine.

Why not call the place you were last in and tell them that you would like to have your medications reviewed?

Unfortunately i was in the state hospital and the only way to get in there is to go back to a holding facility. But I'm going to call my counselor and see if I can get in to see her and maybe she can (she can prescribe meds) adjust them.

How about this:

Oh good, can you call her now and see if she can see you today?
Maybe she can make a recommendation over the phone?

Is it just you and the baby home now, hun?
