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

I guess that small good news counts for something at least @BlueBay

In regard to jobseekers approval.

All the other stuff ebs and flows. One day it will be crap and then the next it will be hard.

I think you are in a highly challenging time. Don't feel bad for posting here or being open about what's going on for you.

Just take it easier in yourself maybe if you can.

We are here for you my friend

Re: not feeling good

Hi @BlueBay

I don't think you're a terrible person but I must remind you it's not clever to self - sabotage and you know that so I will leave it there

When it comes to going back to work and you don't want to then don't - there's no shame in that - no one wants to expose themselves to the coronavirus

About looking for work - that's easy - cold canvassing isn't a good idea right now but you can look up businesses in your area and check what they are about and either ring them or email to see if they need anyone and keep record of what you do for Centrelink

It's hard for everyone righr now - I am really sick of hearing about it - I've just had a COVID test and I have to totally isolate until I go to hospital next Friday - and I am totally over it

So you are in good company - I am sick of all the cliches too

So what can I say to help - nothing really - just keep breathing

hi @Owlunar @MDT @Maggie @Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51
I'm trying very hard today to take it hour by hour. I can't do more than that atm. My head is not good.
im going for a long walk with hubby soon. Littke A goes to her dads on Saturday's, comes back at 4pm. It's so quiet when she goes.

Deep down I know that sabotaging isn't good but I have this part of me that sort of likes doing it. It doesn't make sense. But right now I'm calmer than yesterday. And don't worry I'm still taking my meds.
@Owlunar I'm hating this mask thing and lockdown. I hope your result comes back negative. You must be feeling terrible. I really feel for you. And I'm sorry to hear about your daughter with her back. That's not good either.

i had a really good chat online with Sane counsellor. It was a really good chat. I'm getting the same person most nights do that's been helpful too because they remember things.

snyway I better go snd do some washing. Then clean up a bit. Then go fir a long walk.
chst later my beautiful friends. Xxxxx

Re: not feeling good

Update:

after emailing my psych yesterday and been very honest with him I received a phone call this mirning.
his receptionist said thst he would like to admit me. I told her that i rang two weeks ago and on list. She then said that my psych wants me to see a physician that works with him. He wants me to have a complete physical to rule out anything that's missed. He also works at the same hodpital I'll go to. So if I'm admitted he'll see me there.

For once I'm feeling ok about this. I feel that my psych is really listening to me. I have to ring the hodpital again on Monday.

Hi @Maggie @MDT @Faith-and-Hope @Owlunar @Shaz51 and others

I've made a decision. I'm not going to wirk this week. I'm waiting to be admitted into hospital. Hoping my psych will speak to the manager of the unit tomorrow and up my priority. I'm glad now that I emailed my psych on Friday. I think he knows I'm desperate and I haven't been this honest with him in a long time.
I'm happy with this decision as well. i think now is the time I go in. I need to reframe my mind thoughts and behaviour again .

also I'm not if I told you all. I was approved on Friday for jobseeker payment and low income health care card. I'm really hsppy about that. The payment is more than what I was getting at the pharmacy.
I will need to report earnings fortnightly and look for work.

All I need to do is tell hubby my decision and tomorrow talk to the manager at supermarket.

Hoping to do a walk today. And I thought I want to make felt finger puppets for little A.
And make some masks.

In response to: Re: not feeling good

Re: not feeling good

I hope the walk is good @BlueBay
I am also glad you are sorting things out in relation to your MH
If you go to hospital then I hope it helps as well. It's good your psych will be helping.
I am off to the gym this morning. I will see my psych in Wedneday and discuss my options in regards to work then. Then go from there.
Off to gym now with my friend. Will be on later today.

Re: not feeling good

That sounds like a good decision to me @BlueBay .... and excellent self-care. So glad you were approved for Jobseeker and the health care card. You need support in your recovery, and you have asked for, and received it. Good on you ❣️
