I have had MS for over 10 years. I am in the secondary progressive phase. I am normally a very upbeat happy person, but about 3 weeks ago I got this dark outlook come over me. I couldn't get over it. I was so sad and felt like I could not get out of it, I couldn't pull myself out of it.
I also, only on one day, but it was weird enough to scare me, heard voices in my head. They were not talking to me, it was like a radio frequency of people talking in code, with sounds of morose code. I went to sleep and that one went away.
I called the suicide help line. They were helpful, but finally called a mental health facility near my home. They sent out a crisis person to evaluate me, who determine I needed to go to the ER since I had had a UTI recently and that could explain my confusion (oh, I forgot to say I was confused).
Anyway I ended up in the ER AGAIN! I did not have another UTI, but they admitted me to the regular floor of the hospital because there was no bed at the mental facility.
I was there for 5 days (the regular hospital), saw a couple of psychiatrists, and they put me on Remeron.
It helps, I don't think about suicide anymore, and I am really not sad anymore, so I guess that is good.
We will see how long it works. I never want to feel that way again. That was scary!
