Staying away from partner while waiting for med adjustment
I live with my partner but have been going through what is possibly a mixed episode for the past week with big outbursts and crying episodes - I'm seeing my psychiatrist in two days but it is too hard for my partner to live with me when I am crying uncontrollably. I'm taking 5mg olanzapine as an emergency medication while waiting to see my psychiatrist and this afternoon my partner suggested I stay somewhere else so they can have space to regulate themselves. Feeling so lonely and ashamed. I miss my partner and my home and feeling "normal". I guess space is the best thing if I can't guarantee that I can stay regulated.
