Thigns are not good - no sleep, too much energy, people keep shouting my name & I keep seeing spidrs in my food & in my carpets growing otu of them. Chaos in my head is so bad, so much noise, everything is too mcuh, too much sound light touch smell taste everythign I hate it.
I rang the cirsis team & they said "we cant help, wait until the mornign". i rang up this morning, my psychiatrist is away on holdiay & my care-cooridnator isn't in todya. They sjtu told me to relax & slow my thoguths down.
Nopt sure what to do becuase I'm picking up messages in everything & I would sleep if I could but I can't. The alst time I felt liek this, my psychiatrist took me off my antidepressatns saying I was having a manci episode btu when I went depressed, he put me back oin some & doubled them & then now.
You could try ringing the Samaritans if you just wanted to talk.
If you feel it is a medication problem then get an emergency GP appointment if you can.
Is there something calming you can do for yourself?
Breathing exercises, or sitting in a dark room for a while.
try calling your local mental health line ..? i don't know where you're from but samaritans could be helpful, look on the mind charity site... or rethink...?
the way i try to calm down my thought process is by putting a pen to paper and just writing...like just write and write... it doesn't have to make sense... or type it out... or paint/draw... make something creative out of it... maybe going for a long gym session?
lately i have been going to the gym, putting my head phones in and just going for it on the cross trainer... it might help you get some sleep too..
Do you know when your care-coordinator is next due in?
I think it is worth getting a GP appointment in the mean time, and explain to them what happened last time, and that this feels similar if not worse. They can then advise you on meds or call the cmht and speak to them (and hopefully get a more constructive answer)..
Do try to keep yourself safe, and if need be, call them again.

If the Human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we wouldn't.
I agree with the above. You need to get an emergency GP appointment, (or ask for a GP to telephone you - some surgeries do this.) Tell them clearly that last time you were like this the psychiatrist took you off anti-depressants. Ask them what you should do now.
Other than that try not to do anything too much or make any big decisions - this won't be a good time.
It sounds like you have sensory overload, stay in calm surroundings with low light levels and relaxing music might help.
Thanks everyone. My careco got in contact with me this afternoon (surprisngly)& gave me the same advice about trying to relax & stuff. She's comign out to visit me on Monday but over the weekend, I iwll have to get in touch with the psychiatric unit. Still highly awake & energetic, tyrign not to move around/talk is torture. Like a pressure boiler. Thank you.
~Phoenix~ is my Little Sister of Awesomeness and Self-Delusion :P Bitter Angel is my Mitten Animad is my Top Trump All Im Living For - Is my beautiful and special daughter who isnt called Kim but will moan if i dont add her :P
Am pleased to hear that your care-co got in touch. Hold on, if things get really bad to uncopable ring the crisis team and explain you could go to A&E. Hopefully there is an on call psych there, but if i am correct i think they can keep you safe for 24hrs.
*hugs Chelsea*
I'm sorry that you're struggling to get the help you need- uggghhh, the nhs sucks.
I agree with everyone else's advice, and I hope that getting in touch with the psychiatric unit will help.
I hope you can hold on until Monday. I'm glad your Care Co was able to get in contact with you and give you some ideas to help. You can talk to any one of us if you want to. The MH system is screwed everywhere not just England. Big hugs to you.
thanks again, everyeon. sorry i'm not really with it to like, concentrate & stuff! atm i'm in-the-middle. less mentally rushign but very physically agitated, finding eye contact hard because i feel my energies are being absorebd when people look at me. i went out last night which was a bad idea as i just felt more & more unreal.
have had to go back onto the prn to keep me stabel but dont like feeling so drugged up. trying to remind myself that the spiders are not real, they are sitll hanging around. i'm ranting, sorry.
found out why i couldnt see a psychiatrist. it seems ALL the consultant psychs for my area chose to go on holiday at eh same time. fail.
