not feeling good

not feeling good

At the moment i am not feeling good. i feel like my body is in 'run away mode'. i feel my body is running on a high, my head is so mixed up. i have to go to bed and try to sleep, but don't know if i can.

my hormones are everywhere at the moment; my mood is sky high negative. i can't deal with this anymre. all of a sudden i am not feeling good. i think it is anxiety.

i don't know why i feel like this; i just want to cry but can't becsue everyone is home. i am going to bed. i don't know what is going on. actually maybe it is anxiety because i felt like passing out today.

I went to my GP to have my mirena IUD taken out as I had had enough. But he couldn't find the string, so he sent me for a ultrasound. Had that and the guy said i had two fibroids and a cyst on my ovary. but he couldn't find the string either, so had to have an xray to find the metal piece. they didn't tell me anything. but while waiting i was so anxious i almost passed out.

so now i have to wait for tomorrow when my GP will call me at work and let me know what will happen now. hopefully he can take the mirena out. i don't know.

my body is reacting to my anxiety - i feel so shaky, i need to stop. no point telling anyone at home becasue (a) they won't believe me and (b) they prob wouldn't care.

sorry, i had to tell someone. i feel so alone 😞

Re: not feeling good

@BlueBay, I really don't know. I just went to a chemist and asked them for something. You don't need a prescription for them here. I've only ever got one packet and very rarely need to take them. They worked quite quickly and well for Me.

Hopefully you only need to take them for a night or two and then you will be back on track.

Wallking sounds like a very lame answer to Me. It's going to help sure, but, its not a real solution.

Hang in there. *Hugs*

Re: not feeling good

I work in pharmacy @Gazza75

i will speak to the pharmacist on tiday. I have a feeling my doctor doesn’t want me to become “addicted” to these tabs. I only want them fir a few nights. Damn.

Maybe I could email my psych.

I was going to suggest psych, but, it might not be necessary.

I don't think you will have any dramas getting them and it might do you the world of good. I get really worried when people struggle with sleep as it basically ruined my life.

Re: not feeling good

@BlueBay Sounds like a good suggestion @Gazza75 has made, anything’s worth a try.

Seeing the doc might be a good idea my friend. Sleep is important for us especially when dealing with MH.
You place a lot of pressure on yourself with all that's going on around you. It's understandable you are struggling.
Even just small things can help make those burdens lighter.

Re: not feeling good

@MDT @Maggie @Gazza75 I’ve emailed my psychiatrist rooms. They replied and they will speAk to my psych about a script. I bet he says no too.

I really hate and am angry that my doctor dismisses my physical health complaints as part of my mental illness.

I’m sure that if I didn’t have a mental illness he would have given me the meds.

But because of the risk he doesn’t give me any.

But I could go to another doctor and get some.

Trying to rest. My headache is still lingering.

Re: not feeling good

@BlueBay,

I hope your headache eases and you can get some rest.

It might be worth going to another doctor if you can.

I don't think its just your phsyical health they are dismissing, its your mental well being and overall quality of life.
