  • Tea,

    If you get in touch you give him license to do the same.

    Please think about that.

    (Sorry for the plain harsh words :( )

    Lots of love,

    One of the nice drinks here is King Coconut, drunk straight from the nut. It's much more delicate than 'our' coconuts, less sweet and very refreshing.

    Here's the one I had with dinner this evening........

    Not really penguiny but talks about severe mental health symptoms.

    I haven't slept all night, I have just been curled up in bed. I feel physically sick and full of energy with rushing thoughts and panic. My head is thumping and I am so anxious I have sweat pouring off my head and palms of my hands. I can't stop thinking that I am poisoned and dying although at the same time a healthy part of me knows it isn't true. I keep thinking I have damaged my liver or kidneys, that my heart is stopping due to palpitations from anxiety. The voices are screaming at me and it has taken ages to write this due to flashing lights in front of my eyes. I just feel utter fear and paranoia and am being sick just out of anxiety. It is getting to the time when I have to consider going to the hospital, I know when I am not coping and when things will get very bad if I don't take action. It is always a signal to me when I can't sleep, things spiral very quickly if I lose that ability because my chemicals become even more unbalanced so it is usually time to do something about it, it begins to make me physically ill.

    Don't worry, I am able to keep myself safe. There just comes a point where I know I won't be able to do that if I don't ask for help. There are a lot of options, not least that I am on a relatively low dose of medication due to side effects so it can be increased by quite a lot. I will feel very ill as a result but it will control the psychosis and is usually what the crisis team opt for. I don't think I need to be admitted but I likely will need to be if it this isn't stopped in it's tracks. Isn't it funny how I can have a healthy part of me that observes myself and can make calm decisions while the rest of me is falling apart? I suppose this is what years of therapy and training does. On the one hand I know my chemicals are very unbalanced and this isn't real, on the other I want to hurt myself until it stops. I feel like I am physically dying, my mind is racing but my body feels broken.

    I will give it a few more hours to see if I can control the symptoms but if not I will get WaSp to get me to hospital to see the crisis team. I could also do with one of their large injections of anti-psychotics right now to force me to sleep, I need to rest. I could try to get the crisis team to come here but I want to be in hospital for a little while, while I feel like this. I want to be able to stop monitoring myself constantly and let someone else do so. I am tired, I am tired of fighting this and I want to rest even if it is for a few hours and let someone else make sure I am safe. I am beyond exhausted with constantly challenging thoughts and coping with the physical symptoms.

    I will give it another 2 hours and decide. I hate these ESA forms, have I mentioned that?

    WaS,

    have a huge hug from me.

    If you need to go to hospital, sooner rather than later might be better.

    You take care.

    More hugs and squishes

    Yours

    WaS I'm sorry that things are so bad for you just now.

    Tea I know that it makes sense to speak to FOH but do you really think that he would be satisfied with that? It would be giving him persission to get back into your life.

    melly that's awful that you are trapped in your own home. What happened?

    Pyxis the photos are brilliant.
