Losing (lost?) mind.
Not bipolar. Had a temporary clot in brain Sept '22, *** put me on Zyprexa. Now having trouble weening off the stuff. If that's not bad enough, infarct (tissue death) seems to have generated post-stroke apathy, post-stroke insomnia, and post stroke depression. SSRI meds have made no difference, so stopped taking them too. Just at a total loss, nothing to look forward to, low mood and sadness is only emotion. Can't focus, concentrate, sleep. Losing will. I thought mind would get better (heal) but only seems to worsen, getting darker. Maybe tomorrow will be a brighter day, right?
@RonM59 I'm really sorry to hear about the challenges you've been facing since your brain clot in September. It sounds like you're going through a very difficult time. Please know that you're not alone, and reaching out to share your feelings is a courageous step.
It's essential to keep seeking help and support from medical professionals and your loved ones. While it may feel tough now, there's always hope for improvement, even when it's hard to see. I genuinely hope that tomorrow brings some brightness into your day, and I'm here to listen if you want to talk or share more. Please take good care of yourself!
