Regarding my current health situation #2

Hi again folks~! I wish I could give you positive news about my condition, but sadly I had a mental health relapse. I'm very sad and angry because I was doing great with my medication (I could work, exercise, go outside with minimal anxiety) when my psychiatrist decided to stop it and making me feel withdraw. He changed my meds and made me feel crazy for a week because I was feeling worse and worse (couldn't work, eat shower, everything was scary, I was shaking non stop), but I couldn't do anything about it since he went on vacations. I relied on my terapist, family and friends, a diary, but it simply wasn't enough. Living with the crippling anxiety was making me crazy.
Last Saturday I was feeling like, well, not wanting to be here anymore and I realized enough was enough. I asked to my significant others to take me to the emergency room of an hospital where a very renowned psychiatrist worked (I was her patient for a similar problem years ago, but she wasn't available this time) I was lucky enough to get her to come to the hospital on her free day. Summary, she didn't liked my prescription. She changed some dosis and gave me back the first meds I was using (which turned out to be helpful to get rid my negative thoughts). I'll get to be her patient now.
Right now, I'm so sleepy I haven't been able to work yet, but I have faith I can get better wtih a week of rest. Don't worry, I always have content saved for this cases. Tbh I just wanted to vent a little since it was very scary and painful getting better, only to go back to square one. Please be careful of your health and always make a lot of questions and bring a trusted person to your appointments even if you feel like a child, they could make useful questions you could've never think of.
Ty for reading. Please be patient with me, I'll make it up to you later ๐ Love you all! ๐๐
Edit: Changed some typos that were a clear indicator of my mental condition, hahaha. (There's probably more)

Oh, don't worry. I think sharing experiences is a way to feel connected through our feelings and realize we are not alone on those problems. I'm sorry you wen't through that, specially as a child, but I'm really glad it got better for you! Hope you have better tools to deal with ADHD now. I'm sending you hugs ๐

2025-09-29 05:16:38 +0000 UTCVery happy to hear your Medication was switched back to something that has a history of working for you. It can be really bad when Medications get changed around sadly. Had me concerned when I read that title. This is not me trying to compare or minimize anything please don't take it that way. It's a tough subject but one that matters. Sharing stories and conversation etc can help bring comfort to some folks. I was forced to switch to Methylphenidate (Ritalin) when I was a kid for severe ADHD back when it was still largely an experimental thing in Canada (90's) and it caused extreme mood swings into severe anger or severe depression at literally the teeniest little things, thankfully I had the Support of my Dad and another Family we were close with who very quickly got things sorted out with our Family Doctor. So glad to read that you've got a Support Network to help you out when needed. Appreciate the willingness to share a bit and best wishes going forward <3

Today is day #4 of taking my medication and I finally got to feel well enough to enter my studio and turn on my computer โจ Thanks for our previous talks, they've been fun! I'll try to reach out when I feel better (turns out it gets difficult to write coherently when you are on meds, haha)

2025-09-24 20:40:38 +0000 UTCMy heart sunk when i read that Title. And it was really scary for a moment reading all that. I am sorry you had to had go through all that. And wish you well, take all the time you need to get better, because health, mental or physical, are imporant to take care off. I know i am stranger from the net, and big degenerate ๐ but if you need a stranger to rant to, or just talk to, ill be glady of service. Be it just to hear you out, or to talk about anime/books/movies, whatever. Its not much, but its least i can do. โค๏ธ And importantly, dont hesitate to ask friends and family for more help, if need be. I am sure they will give you all the support you need. I know myself that its sometimes hard to ask for help, or to tell people what ails them. ๐
