Lately I've been feeling so paranoid. I'm afraid that all my friends hate me, that they're hiding something. I'm afraid of being alone and that my future will suck. I've been taking 10mg of Brintellix for the past 3 months but in the last 3-4 weeks the meds are not working anymore.My psychiatrist's office doesn't answer my phone calls and I'll get to see her only in the next 2 weeks. What should I do to calm myself meanwhile? What should I ask her? I'm feeling really depressed and been having suicidal thoughts lately. Please help me I don't know who to talk to about it and I don't really feel comfortable about talking with my friends right now.I never use 4chan but I feel like this will be the best place to ask.
Also want to say two things:-Sometimes think about overdosing.-Taking meds without eating give me nausea but I don't really feel like eating, it's really difficult for me to be honest.
>>34466615Chronically high stress suppresses appetite, sleep deprivation makes you paranoid. I don't know enough about your specific situation to tell you what to do. I don't even know that anti depressant you're talking about. Get some fresh air and try reaching out to people you trust, even if it's just for a casual talk
>>34466594>feeling so paranoid>should I do to calm myself meanwhile? Perhaps brintellix is causing mania.Your psy will probably change meds.If you have insomnia that would be enough to stop it right now.
>>34467047Yeah I found the courage to talk about it a bit today and now I feel calmer, even do I know that this will be temporary and that in the future few hours I'll feel paranoid again.>>34467148I mean, I don't have insomnia anymore (had it last year) but lately I've been sleeping less, like, I wake up after 4-5 hours of sleep and then fall asleep again after 10-20 minutes. I don't know if this counts as insomnia though.
Writing for the last time before this thread gets archived hoping for other answers.
Well what do you want help with and in what way? What do you want to talk about? How are you feeling as of the moment of you reading this?
>>34472623I just cried. I'm currently ghosting all of my friends. I know it may be a dumb thing to do but i really can't trust anyone anymore. Strangely, I feel comfortable in talking with anons.
>>34472662I understand you. Idk your situation but i feel like ghosting my friends as well. Can I ask why you think your friends hate you? Like i think the same of mine based on how they are with me for example
>>34472711I always feel like I'm not wanted. Every minute passed to wait a response from them equals to hundreds of sad thoughts. A lot of them feel more cold lately and their motivations (such as "I was really busy" or "I worked a lot today") don't reassure me.
>>34472725I can totally understand that. But do ypu know if they are telling the truth? Like my friends sometimes say the same thing after making plans so at this point i take it as them.not wanting to hang out with me. Its always last minute. So i think you should at least be 100% sure before committing to thinking poorly about them.What else do you worry about currently?
>>34472741I worry about losing my closest friend. I wouldn't expect from her to suddenly become distanced. Again, she tells me that she's busy and again, I can't really trust her. And I don't trust her not because it's her but bevande everything seems too odd to me and it's driving me crazy.
>>34472777Odd in what way if I can ask? What makes it so you think she's not being honest? Hiw long have you been friends for?
>>34472822Sorry I fell asleep.Once she didn't behave like that. As time passes I feel like she's getting more and more distanced.
>>34473789Why not ask her about that? Be honest with her and express your concerns. And no worries. Hope it was a decent sleep
>>34473820Thank you! Yes it was a great sleep even though I only slept for 4 hours.And yeah yesterday two people already told me to ask her but it's kinda difficult for me to face the topic and I'm also waiting for the best moment.
>>34473851Best moment? And you're welcome! Why is it difficult to face the topic?
>>34473902I'm afraid I could be annoying since lately I've been already venting and complaining about things.
>>34474006Ah I understand. Bringing up this concers isn't a complain or a vent tho. So i think it's fine to bring it up. Just do so on a sensible way so she doesn't get the wrong idea or anything
>>34475193Yes that's what I'm gonna do thanks.
>>34475471No problem! Hope it goes well and it can help!
