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

Hey @Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope

I've been for my morning walk this morning, cold but not windy. I was asked yesterday by the CAT team if i have lots of energy when i come back from my walk - nah no extra energy for me. I am sitting here alone, boys are asleep (gee boys can sleep) and i have NO motivation to get up and do stuff.

@Zoe7 you can stay on my shoulder today if you like, i don't mind. at least we can keep each other company.

wish i could just get up and do something around the house.

Re: not feeling good

Can you visit your daughter @BlueBay ?

Or play music, maybe dance a bit, even if it's just swaying on the spot ..... it's still adding I your exercise tally .....

Knit
Clean something
Garden
Cook

Anything appeal there ?

Re: not feeling good

Some days @BlueBay it really is just a matter of doing what you have to do to get through it and that can also mean not doing anything at all. Don't put any pressure on yourself because you are having a 'lazy' day - maybe that is what you need today. The most important thing to do on these days (which you know I find extremely difficult to do myself) is to not let the negative talk control all your thinking. Acknowledge it is there, have your moment of self-doubt and negative talk, then think of something more positive - like flying off in the forum helicopter to your own island paradise (with me still on your shoulder of course!)

If that fails - keep talking here BB. I can't be around much at the moment but I will try to log on every now and then to keep encouraging you

You can do this my little yellow flower - I believe in you

Re: not feeling good

Hi @Faith-and-Hope @Zoe7

My daughter is working today. This is her last week of work. She cannot wait to finish up.

I have just made dinner - pasta sauce with bacon and chorizo then adding some ricotta cheese at the end and add to the pasta before serving

You may be right @Zoe7 maybe i need to accept that today i am bored and it's okay if i am bored and have nothing to do. i don't need to be doing stuff ALL the time.

Trouble is though i am eating more, without even thinking i am eating so much more.

Re: not feeling good

Cut yourself some salady-type things @BlueBay ..... carrots, celery, cucumber etc with a bit of hommmus or something to dip them in. It won't cost you anything much weight-wise, but it will give you a go-to in the fridge when you are emotional eating ...... and when you bite into them you will
realise how good they taste ..... as good as foods that will cost you weight-wise ...... and then work out some other "exchange" foods ..... exchange this for that, and sometime exchange eating for dancing, or knitting or something and settle for only a cup of tea.

See how you go with that.
