All alone
So Ive been having a rough time these few days and Im desperately trying everything I can to seek help. The clinics Ive been going to basically told me that the doctors suspect that prozac isnt working for me and I have to wait days till I get an outpatient appointment to see a psychiatrist at a hospital to change my medication. But the appointment slots are all full till 2 weeks later and Im already feeling like Im going insane.
Ive also tried reaching out to counselling centres but theyve all told me that there is nothing they can do for me at the moment and Ill have to wait 3 working days for the case manager to call me.
Everyone keeps referring me to our 24hr suicide hotline and Ive already called them, but it isnt working. I need something to cope and I cant do this. Ive never been this mentally distressed in my life and I just want something, anything, to work.
@MangoPancake If everyone is referring you to a suicide hotline, that suggests you are in a crisis that we are not allowed to help you with at 7 Cups. Our crisis resources page is here: Crisis
Depending on where you are, there might be other local helplines that could be some use. For example, there's a list here for the US: Warmlines If you search the Internet you might be able to find even more alternatives local to you.
You can also chat to any listener here about the background to your situation, but not if you are in crisis. If you'd like to chat to me, just click on my profile picture and message me.
