Thank you dear abcowboy.

Hi everyone, t's been a while... I feel a bit selfish for not posting consistently but only coming here when I'm struggling or when I feel too isolated in real life. But I guess that's also what the forum is for in the end. We're still in lockdown here and it looks like it's going to be extended for most of spring. And I've been struggling a lot with being stuck at home 24/7 with my partner pretty much. His psychiatrist suggested to change his medication in November and what at first only seemed like small temporary issues due to readjusting has now turned into some pretty serious issues with close to hallucination style paranoia, extreme mood swings and irritability. He spends a few hours a day weeping and telling me I'm mean and hitting himself for basic things that he normally wouldn't react to like that at all! He has moments where he comes around and we can talk and he apologises which helps and I try to not take it personal but it's pretty intense. He's far from being a functional human being and for the last weeks I'm stuck with doing all the admin stuff plus the household on my own. Then being told that I'm cold and not supportive isn't exactly what you want to hear... We both think it's BPD he suffers from but his psychiatrist just doesn't get back to him about changing his medication back to how it was before. Tough times.

But yeah, checking in for another 24. I've stopped counting but it's been over 4 years now!

Oh kev honey, so much love. s

I am so sorry you are both going through this.
I would be hounding that psychiatrist's office until they responded....how can they leave someone in such a bad way?

You have all of our support honey. ❤️❤️

Optimist4ever57

So sorry about the cc fraud, Leigh. I hope it gets straightened out soon.

And Kev, I agree with Suze that I'd have that psychiatrist immediately reasess your partner's meds. Keep us posted.

Day 29 and I'm feeling so normal it's like I never drank at all. I will not let down my guard though so I'm keeping myself occupied with decluttering and deep cleaning. I have two areas I'm dreading - photographs and recipes. Nuff said.

Praying for 24 sober hours @ 10:02 AM EST

venuscat

You are inspiring me every day dear Optimist. ❤️

kevlarsjal2

Thanks Venus! It makes me feel less alone with this stuff. I don't want to talk too much with people irl about this as it's such a personal and sensitive topic obviously... We've tried everything to get the doc to reply and all that came back after the 10th or so mail (and by that time he was BEGGING him to just let him go back on his old meds as he's feeling more or less suicidal by now) was to come into his office later this week. That was two weeks ago, we asked for an earlier time immediately but since then it's been radio silence again. No call, no "are you okay?", not even telling him to go to the emergency if it gets worse. I am so upset about the doctor's behaviour, I can't believe how little he cares. We've already reached out to find a new one but there aren't many English speaking options here. Right now I just hope he can get back on his old meds until he can see a new doc.

I love how you warm you are and always welcome everyone back right away, you really are the heart of the forum

Thanks Optimist, and congrats on almost a month! Decluttering is a great way to stay busy and once you're done you get to enjoy a tidy space, what a great side effect!

venuscat

Hmmm, that is hard re English-speaking docs.
What about the ER?
I know it is dangerous with covid and al, but they might pay more attention and help him immediately. s xx ❤️

Kaptn

Good Morning all,
I missed my morning check ins, not sure how I got out of my posting routine but I hope I've fixed that.
Looking forward to 2021
24 more, please and thank you.

venuscat

We kept your seat warm dear Kaptn. ❤️

kevlarsjal2

Yeah, it's tricky these days... We have considered it but decided to wait what his doc says first and in case he refuses to change back the meds the ER would be our plan B. I think legally they could only change his meds for the time he's in the hospital plus give you enough for a week or so after they release you but aren't allowed to hand out prescriptions. And my partner said being stuck in the hospital with no visitors allowed, barely speaking the local language sounds extremely scary to him.

Trying to hang in there, just in need of some moral support

venuscat

You are handing all of this really well love....and I totally understand the hospital part. s xxxxx ❤️❤️❤️

lyddie

Another 24 for me please

Hevyn

I'd love another sober 24 too please.

abcowboy

Thanks for the new thread Dee!

Kaneda8888

Checking in for 24. My insurer called and as anticipated, I need to stump up for the excess. I knew this would likely be the case. Its a fair result at the end of the day. Still, never a happy occasion. Oh well. I am still here and still hanging on

Keep moving forward Optimist!
