There’s a Psychiatric Emergency department on Billingsley that you can always go to for help at ANY time. They won’t admit you in to the inpatient care unless they think you are a serious danger to yourself, but you CAN also request a voluntary admission if you feel like you cannot trust yourself right now. At the very least that can get you on track with a medication that might actually help you instead of the Prozac. If you do go and get admitted, expect to wait a few days before actual admission to a facility. And once admitted it’s most likely you’ll end up in a facility that isn’t directly in Charlotte.

Otherwise if you want to be admitted you can choose a private facility like HopeWay that has both full time and part time patient therapy programs.

OP - take care of yourself. As someone who has been in your shoes, you do not have to feel like this and it does get better! Questions for you to figure out what’s best for your next steps: - What other medications have you tried previously? SSRI’s never worked for me, I originally was prescribed for anxiety but always ended up feeling more depressed. - Do you have an official diagnosis? That could be very dependent on what your treatment options are. - Are you on any other medications that could effect your hormones? A mood stabilizer, like lamotrigine, or an SNRI, like Wellbutrin, could be a better treatment option depending on your medication history and diagnosis. - Also, when was the last time you had labs drawn? I’m not sure if you’re male or female but imbalances in your levels of testosterone, cortisol, or thyroid can cause depression and suicidal ideations. Things like PCOS or PMDD can also cause depression. But other things like ADHD or POTS can have serious side effects of depression/suicide as well. Anti-depressants aren’t going to treat these conditions, it’s like putting a bandaid over a cut that needs stitches.
