I look forward to when mine is gone, I'm taking all these tablets and nothing is working. I never slept well last night and it's making my anxiety higher today. I think I need a horse tranquilliser to knock me out lol

The sleep will improve naturally but again it takes time
I had severe insomnia but kept calm about and got over it
That's probably where I'm going wrong, I get worked up over it and start to worry so end up making things worse
It's good to hear from people who have been there and have come out the other side
Most people come on here thinking its a life sentence but I can tell you from experience its not.its a hard long slog to recovery but its 100% possible
I believe you
I've recovered in the past it's just this time that I'm finding it really hard. The last times I was started on AD's and was back to work and my life in a couple of weeks but not this time
I went back to work 3 weeks after my 1st hospital admission then had a second total breakdown
I think the key is to let recovery find you and to not get impatient ,I used to say to myself I don't care if it takes five years as long as it comes one day.it did and I'm grateful for being patient
That's a good way of looking at it
I need to take a step back and put things in perspective and not worry about time. I also need to be more positive and remember recovery will happen and trying to hurry it won't help, it takes as long as it takes
Thank you for that
A big mistake I see on here every day is people counting the days and weeks they have been on medication,it doesn't help at all it just adds to the frustration of being ill
I am well enough to now come off mine and plan to do it over the next 12 months,no rush what's the point
Good luck with your recovery at some point you will find peace
I was one of those but I've stopped doing it now, I was practically counting the days at one point !
Thank you for your messages today they have helped a lot and have me hope
As Mr Andy says, the more impatient and angry you become, the worse your agitation will be and I'm not sure that any pills would be good enough to work for you.. It's actually your mindset which is working against you and your fear of going back to those dark hospital days.
You're fortunate in that you have a CPN and support worker to work with you towards recovery. You're not alone. I really wish you well and am sure that you'll get to that better place in time.
