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. No 'get up & go' - that's okay. Your body needs more rest. I'm glad you are listening to it.
Let me know how you get on at the gp's tomorrow.
I'm home with gastro again. So taking it easy as well.

Re: not feeling good

Hi @utopia

Came back from doctors. he has given me some cream for my head reg. lumps. it is some sort of cortisone cream. i don't know what it is; maybe it's just stress.

the story of my life = stress 😞

you know i should be so excited, really happy that this year will bring a new baby into our family. But right now i am so sad, crying so much and feeling so damn exhausted. oh by the way, my gp has ordered blood tests to check my iron; if low again i will need an iron infusion. that is poss the reason why i am so exhausted.

@utopia what is wrong with me? why do i go so up and down all the time. i am so sorry to you and everyone else on here because i don't ask or check on how others are. you all must think i am so selfish.

i hope you are better after having gastro yesterday. has it settled down today?

Re: not feeling good

@BlueBay you are not selfish my friend and you have absolutely nothing to be sorry about - it's a rollercoaster for you and we all get it! We are here to support you when we can and one day maybe you can do the same for others - but for now accept that we love you and want to be around for you - and the only thing you have to worry about giving back to us is your own well-being and happiness.

Thinking of you - walking with you as always - and sending you huge hugs

Zoe

Re: not feeling good

Hi @BlueBay

I really don't think stress can cause trouble in your hair follicles but I have an idea or two - maybe you are pulling at your hair - stress can cause that - and I wear clips in my hair - it's annoying to have hair in my face even at night - but if I leave the clips in they can hurt my scalp if I happen to sleep on one of them - I get little sores that bother me and I can't leave them alone

The other thing - possible more to the point - how long is it since you had your hair coloured? I know you had this problem not long ago - it could be the chemicals in the hair-stuff

And cortizone ointment will most likely help

With all the upzndownz in your life - you would be b^gg^r^d and not want to get up in the morning - I feel like that sometimes - or more often - I blame my medication and I have been feeling better since I cut the dose back - with the doctor knowing about it - but whatever your medication is - it could be that - still - you do have an understanding GP

All the best and take it easy today Bay -

I get it about your parents - you have all this wonderful news - and can't share it - I know it really hurts

Re: not feeling good

@BlueBay. The cortisone cream should help. Stress does so many different things to our bodies. And it can make our immune system very week. Getting your iron levels checked is very important. As women we can often have problems with our iron levels.
I loved what @Zoe7 wrote about your ups and downs and how we are there for you. I don't think I can say it any better.
Soon you will start working with your psychologist on ways of stopping the negative thoughts from consuming you & how to refocus easier. It's all about learning new ways of thinking and retraining the brain. It takes time. It takes practice. But you will get there.
Today take things easy. Be gentle with yourself. Sit outside under a tree and listen to all the different sounds. Don't forget to keep an eye out for my cousins - the birds that I send to you
