Some of you may have read my big long story/rant post i made a while ago
http://www.alonelylife.com/showthread.php?tid=10846&page=2
I have a serious question,Has any one or some one you know institutionalized them selfs in Canada ? , Will it help or should i seek to figure out my problems on my own.I have 2 pet cats that are dear to me and i wouldn't want to loose them or my living arrangements either.
Working in medicine (pharmacy) for a couple of years has taught me that i am in all of the "danger zones" so to speak and that i should seek help.I had been speaking with a councilor,A RN of mental health at a local mental health clinic but i stopped some time ago and i feel things are getting progressively worse.
They say that when you ;
• You can't stop crying or feeling sad
• Your appetite or sleep patterns have changed
• You are constantly anxious, worried or angry
• You just don't care anymore
• You have no energy
• You feel worthless or guilty all the time
• You just can't focus or decide what to do
• Your former interests hold no pleasure for you any more
• You want to hide from friends
• You suffer aches and pains and don't know why
• You just can't get up in the morning
• You think about death or suicide being easier than living
If a person can check yes to many of those things should seek emergency help and seek out options of institutionalization.
I don't take any NDRIs (norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitors); SSRIs (selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors); and SNRIs (serotonin and norepinephrine re-uptake inhibitors) or in english any antidepressants.
Any insight would be beneficial.
