I really need help desperately (no Joke)

in a nutshell...this post is my last sane attempt to fix it.
I am extremely angry, stressed out, feeling completely overwhelmed and totally at a loss as to what to do about it. There are many reasons, some obvious, some not so. WTF?? I am really really worried that this is going to cause a mental breakdown real soon if I don't do something about it....although I have ABSOULUTELY NO CLUE what to do.
Is it my medication or lack there of? I don't know.
Is it general anxiety? I don't know.
Whatever it is .....its getting worse day to day, and I need help.
Ramon

Ramon,
Are you on any type of anti-seizure med for CH or on an anti-depressant of any sort?
Did this start before or after the layoff?
I've been where you are! p.m. me if I can be of assistance!
hang in there and evaluate your meds,
renee...p.m. me and leave your #.

To say that my mental state is "Fragile" would be an understatement at best.
I honestly don't know or think I should be left here alone.
Any capacity for compassion, logic and reason is fleeting at an alarming rate! NOT YET hysterical but I feel that coming on too.
I am taking Xanax 1 mg. for anxiety (plenty left)
I WAS taking remeron for depression and have no clue if that is something to be stopped without tapering down. I have none or no resource to get any.
WTF!!!!!!!

IMO....I think you are having a panic attack. I would pop a xanax under your tongue and let is dissolve, if I were you.
When did you go off the remeron?
I'm right here...get me your phone number and i'll call ya.

My head is pounding (NOT a CH)
I can taste the lining of my stomache.
I am shivering uncontrollably, my extremities are sore and cold.
I have an hour to get dinner started
Another person's child visiting my daughter who lives 10 miles from here and I can't take her home (I ain't driving)
My wife works tonight (all night) just me and the kids.
And somehow I have to manage to hold it together.

Remeron needs to be tapered and I think that may be contributing to this crisis also, depends when you quit it cold turkey.
I'd like to hear from you!

WTF?
my kids JUST woke me up - i had NO idea what was goin on. Then he tells me "read the thread" when I ask him what was wrong .....
Renee - Thank You for calling - Sami didn't know I was up - and KNEW Ramon didn't wanna talk - she didn't know you were calling because you KNEW he felt that way. (they were leaving him ALONE!!!!)
I dont know what to do - it's a weekend - oF COURSE! and a holiday weekend too (PERFECT)!
If I take him to the ER - they'll just do what they did last time this happened - give him xanax and tell him to go see someone - ( is TAKING xanax and seeing someone). So, there's no point.
I will make dinner and take the kid home - and my kid's gonna stay there too - so he'll only be here with Alyssa - he'll be alright - I have to go to work - --- dammit.
thank you for everything you guys!

hi! 
first of all - i wanna say SHIT.
You guys - are awesome - You KNOW this place is special when he comes here to post when he's feeling this way, instead of just coming and waking me up! I had NO idea .....
This is an anxiety attack - we've done this before.
Nothing can be done but take a xanax and he did that... it's starting to work now. (THank GOD!) He's starting to relax and maybe even drifting off to sleep.
Renee - TY for the calls - and the tips. I did not know you could put xanax under the tongue!! I really appreciate it... 
OH - and he quit the remeron a week ago - he shudda tapered off - but I dont think it was his intention to quit - the DR just wouldn't give him a refill because she wanted to "see him first".
I should drive him over to her house reall quick - let her SEE him NOW. (BITCH!)
and JEAN - well - you know..
NO ONE WOKE ME UP! UGH! 
THIS IS WHY I LOVE THIS PLACE!! It may not be CH that we're having an issue with right now, but you all help ANYWAY. Definately a family here!
I will make ramon's life as simple as I can for tonight while I go to work...... he should be ok.
LOVE YOU GUYS!!! 
Tina

Well folks,
Several hours later, and I feel as if I were left in the vaccum of space with not suit for protection..........uuuggghhhh. When I posted this thread originally, I did not know what to do and was afraid that woobie would be mad if I woke her (I understand all too well how valuable her sleep time is) and I didn't want to scare or endanger the kids either. I was at the end of my rope and if my shotgun hadn't been in the bedroom where woobie was who knows what the result would have been.
THANK YOU ALL for what you have done for me today! Had you not been heer I might not have survived it.
The Xanax is in full effect right now so pardon me if this is a bit spotty. I remeber little. Everyone is gone for the evening and I just got off the phone with Randy, no matter what happens he can make ya smile and laugh a little.
Renee... bless your heart and your advice and timing were impecable.
Jean....I know you called, I love you and I'm ok for now, doped up reaaaal good but ok for the time being.
Ken.... Even through all your troubles at home you called to check up. I will never forget it and hope that somehow I can repay you the debt.
Everyone else......I have few words to express how I feel about you all. If there is a great reward at the end of this life, you ALL are more deserving of it than anyone else. I pray it is so.
I am sitting here litteraly in tears, about the kindness and support you all have shown for me in this dark hour. I am ashamed that even with episodic CH I wasn't strong enough to cope with this.
I Love you guys..... 
Ramon
