These past few days have been really bad for generalised anxiety and with it, pretty severe depression.
I also self harmed tonight, the 3rd time in a year - and I hadn't self harmed in 10 years before that :S
I started thinking about suicide this evening too, catastrophising if I'm going to feel like this forever, I should kill myself :sus
Is there anything a doctor can do if I'm getting into a very bad depression? To intervene?
I take 50mg Sertraline in the morning and 20mg Amitriptyline at night.
I also have Diazepam for as needed use - I had 12 of the 5mg pills prescribed a month a ago, but have used all of them.
In terms of resources I have available -
* I could see my personal doctor on Monday as an urgent appointment - regular, everyday diazepam is very effective for me, it not only gets of rid of anxiety but it gives me a mild sense of wellbeing too.
^ On the downside I will get rebound anxiety 4 or 5 days after stopping taking it, if I take it for a couple of weeks everyday
* I could phone my counsellor on Monday and get to see them this week and talk through a lot of stuff.
I don't have many friends who I'm able to helpfully talk this stuff through with however. I have zero friends who I can actually go out and meet and spend time with
