This week I start a new type of therapy every wed&fri for the next 2 months. Feeling anxious about it and what will come up. Still struggling to get through each day. I have PRN medication to take when it all becomes too much. Although now I am a constant drowsy zombie, its still better then what I have been feeling. Still feeling so guilty, I love my partner and my family so much, I just hate that in the end I feel like I am going to ultimately hurt them so much.

I started Electrical field stimulation therapy today for the next 10 or so weeks. After this it is likely I will move on to do neurofeedback therapy. My support team are hopeful this will help me. This is why my psychiatrist didn't want to change my medication when I had a breakdown and went to hospital the other week.I am feeling tired as the psychologist said I probably would. I'm going to force myself to go food shopping instead of hopping into bed.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope
I was super tired during the afternoon but then as evening hit I started to become overwhelmed with my negative feelings. I took some medication to help and lay on the couch to watch some shows. Now I am trying to find some motivation to cook dinner so my partner can eat when he gets home from work tonight.I feel frustrated that I have to rely on some medication to try and get my mind to calm down. I wish there was something other than medications & distraction techniques to help get my life on track. If this is what its going to be like for the next 5 or so years I do not want to be a part of it anymore.
