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

Hi @outlander

I'm a very shy person. I could look around my town though and see. But I do struggle with new people and places. It scares me a lot.
im going to have too much time on my hands when home and been alone too. This will be scary.

Re: not feeling good

I can understand that @BlueBay im a very shy person too. an introvert.
there could be something there though, most op shops only have about 5 people working there and in different sections so not all stuck in a space.
or maybe you could make things like those blankets and knitted items your good at and try to sell some from home?

Re: not feeling good

Hugs @BlueBay ..... one step at a time Hon ..... it can make it scarier to look ahead and try to pile all of tomorrow's problems into today.

What can you do tonight to help take care of yourself ? A cup of tea can be soothing on the nerves.

Re: not feeling good

Others have good suggestions here @BlueBay I have mentioned this before but feel it worth mentioning again ...you can sign up to do online surveys - you get paid and they will fill in time. Not only does it give you extra money - some in the form of vouchers and some you can bank the money. Maybe work on them the same hours you would have been doing at work or set aside a couple of hours a day ...get into a routine as if you would be working - get up shower etc. then spend your time working on the surveys. You have said previously (several times) you are addicted to social media so maybe channel that energy into somethig that would benefit you financially.

Re: not feeling good

Sounds awesome @BlueBay (love the macrame part too!). Have you got a copy of that list somewhere easy to get to for if you're having a bad day or feeling
overwhelmed?

Good to hear you had some sleep last night. Best wishes going home today ❤

Re: not feeling good

Thats really great @BlueBay 🙂

Everything sounds really positive in your plan.

Maybe you could look for a colouring book, pencils and pens and use that to calm yourself like you did before. Just a thought.

Be kind to yourself.
