I've been wanting to post for a while but just haven't done. I've been feeling really low recently, I can't remember the last time I felt this bad. I don't know if it's because of a new med I've been put on or whether it's to do with the amount of change I've got coming up.
Anyway last night was kinda bad. Ended up self harming quite badly and support worker requested I get it checked so I did and I thought that would be it but the doctor there wouldn't let me leave until he spoke to my support worker.
He ended up telling her that he thinks I need to go to hospital and support worker agreed because I've been unwell recently. Had to sit in the ambulance for a bit but I refused to let them take me in and in the end crisis team got involved and calmed the situation so luckily I got left alone.
I'm freaking out today though I just feel like I'm screwed. I just wanted to feel better I don't need so much fuss. I feel like its going to carry on today and I can't be arsed it's not going to help.
Anyway I just don't know what to do or how to feel better. Wondered if y'all could maybe help?

In your post you said that the new medication that you have been put on could be the reason why you are feeling low. Have you spoken to your GP or support worker about the side effects you are experiencing? There is a charity called YoungMinds that have information on a range of medications which might be useful to read up about medication side effects. You can find this here.
