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 😞

Hi @Decadian @Change123 @darrenhayes
I'm going to hospital. I've made my decision no backing out now. I'm not well and this is the break I need. If my psych didn't think I needed it he wouldn't admit me in.
Money comes and goes. I went shopping with my daughter this morning bought little cheap clothes for kids. Had a limit to spend and I did it. Going to take jersey for a walk down the beach.
@Decadian I find it extremely difficult to make decisions you're right. I hope to learn more about that while in hospital. And even putting our house on the market. After Xmas it's going for sale and I told hubby I don't care if we have to rent for a while.
He was ok with that.

Hi @BlueBay

This is really clear thinking - your psyshe would not be putting you into hospital if you did not need it

Actually - your insurance company would not allow it either - they have people checking up to see if people really need such invention in their lives

It will be a relief for you to rest your brain for a bit then get down to the hard work of sorting it out - you have been there before so you know what will happen

Remember the last time you were in hospital you had to take time out from this website - this is likely to happen again and I certainly understand this and other people will do - so don't worry about that

Lots of hugs -

Dec

Re: not feeling good

@BlueBay WELL DONE!!!

see you made the challenge, you decided what was good for you and no one else - you have done really well!

Dont you feel guilty about your decision either - your reward is that you get to have time out and rest and the fact that you achieved this decision.

All the points you listed were excellent so you really thought it out.

I hope you are feeling good abour your decision.

Take care you can do this!

Re: not feeling good

Thank you so much @Change123 and @Decadian

I know i have made the right decision. And whatever hubby and kids think - well that's their problem not mine!!!

I may not be on here as much either, so don't worry. It just means I need time out again from the forum. I am going to take one day at a time while in there, even if it's one hour at a time.

My son bought me a belated birthday present a few weeks ago (it's a hot rock massage) so if I am allowed out I will walk up to the place and get it done. The place he got the voucher from is only 15 mins walk from the hospital. Something to look forward to. Or I could treat myself to that on the weekend after my week in hospital. I have a feeling i could be in there for 2 weeks. But we'll see what my psych says.

I need to go and pack a bag, i will be back on later. xxoo

ps. thank you for your encouragement, both of you have been so good for me.

Re: not feeling good

I feel sick. Don't want to eat literally have to force myself. Can't think of anything worse at the moment but eat. Thinking of good is making me sick. At the supermarket I feel so horrible. Not sure if it's the new meds. I just can't eat.
Any suggestions. That pizza we just got sounds yuk!!

Re: not feeling good

Try mindfulness why eating, take it slowly and be present, eat like it’s your first time, I do this every morning with my coffee and it has help me develop the practice. J and the coffee is magic.

Re: not feeling good

Thanks @Matt12
Thanks for the tips.
I haven't been like this before hospital admission. Since hospital I am losing my appetite. I don't want to eat anymore. I've already lost weight. I hate meds. And the way it is making me feel.
All I can drink is lemon and water. The other day all I had was an orange for dinner.

Re: not feeling good

I have some understanding as where you’re at from my end, I have used weight loss as a self-medication to mention only one to avoid my “head’ I have been advised that good food is critical to my recovery, which is a given but if the head not there hard to get “it”

I have lost my since of smell which has had many negative impacts on my recovery, find a food in your memory bank that brings good memories and smell it like you never have and enjoy !
