Hello there.

I apologize beforehand to the moderator, but my post is about self-harm.


I am not doing so well...

I had a terrible experience last night.

I had dinner with my family and 2 glasses of red wine. When I got home around 7:30pm I took my Stillnox and Lithium (2nd week on low dose) and decided to unpack the dishwasher. my hubby, Fernando found me in the kitchen, saw what I have done and took me bed and I took 350mg Seroqual and after a while had difficulty breathing and eventually slept at 10pm.

I woke up at 4am and my arm was hurting/burning! I had no recollection of anything that happened. My last memory was taking the Stillnox.

I now know that I should not be drinking any alchohol!

I am seeing my GP today at 11am and I have asked Fernando to contact him and tell his side of what happened.

I have on 2 occasions in the past 3 months but that was before I seeked help from my GP, but it was only . Yesterday was severe and traumatic. ... God protected me, I know that for sure.

I am at a loss.

I just came back from seeing my GP and I had to own up to what happened and he is trying to get hold of my Psychiatrist and he is opting for me to go to a Clinic/In patient facility to get proper care and hold of my medication.

I am at a loss and don't trust my own strength and abilities anymore.

For anyone that finds themselves in my situation: there is hope! reach out to someone before it is to late and before the disease gets to far! know that you are not alone and if you are Religious, that God is with you all the way, no matter what you have done in your past!

I'll keep you guys posted on any developments. I am still waiting to hear what they have decided.

Hello Ferncor,

Thank your for you apology. However, please note that I had to edit certain information from your posts due to the forum rules. We cannot discuss self-harm here, however, my e-mail address is listed in my profile. Please feel free to e-mail me if you need to chat, etc.

I'm sorry for what happened. I'm glad that you went to the ER and got some help. You did the right thing by seeking help. You are strong for taking this first step and you can get through this. Just take it one step at a time.

Alcohol is a depressant and it causes us to feel more depressed. Please try to stay away from it.

Please know that we are here for you. I hope thing will get better for you. Keep us updated on how you're doing.

*Hugs*

Thanks UA

My docs have decided to send me to an Inpatient facility. I have to see the Psyciatrist on Saturday morning and then admission for I don't know how long. We live in the Outback and I'll have to fly to the city, 600km from home. It is going to be the hardest thing to leave my 2 kids and hubby behind.

I am no longer allowed to take sleeping tabs as I am addicted to it. I took 400mg Seroqual and managed to sleep 1 hour uninterrupted and dim and brights the rest of the night! Very frustrating.

Thanks for the offer to email you. I'll do that.
