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 😞

Hey @Zoe7@Former-Member@Faith-and-Hope

I'm so anxoius waiting for Monday now. Waiting to see if (a) the private hospital call me for a bed availability or (b) I get admitted in the public hospital mental health short stay unit for 3 days. I wish it was right now, i can't wait until Monday.

It's so hard waiting, my mind is going everywhere with so much stuff.

Hi everyone

My ankle is still a bit sore, everything i try to walk on it, it hurts. Don't know what i have done. Mentally i am still the same. i cannot wait until Monday for the hospital stay. I am waiting for the CAT team clinican to call me today to see how i am coping. This whole past two weeks has been too much to deal with, i have a hospital admission this week, i was in hospital last week, my daughters baby shower afternoon at my place next week, my son leaving home to the police academy next week. It's all happening and i am not coping.

Damn why does life throw so many things all at once? I can't deal with it all.

My SH actions haven't been too bad, although i must still stay out of the kitchen alone is not good.

Home alone right now is a trigger as well. Cold afternoon, nowhere to go, nothing to do .........

Re: not feeling good

sounds so hard right now @BlueBay i guess it doesnt help much right now, but all these things will pass. The baby shower will pass and have happened (kind of exciting, it will be closer to having a baby to cuddle!). Son will move (sad! but exciting for him to be on his way to making a massive difference in the world for so many!) and you will keep going. Hospital next week will help to manage everything and be supported safely.
Hope that the CATT team calls soon and that its helpful for you,
listening and caring,
hugs

Thanks @Former-Member

I guess i am just feeling sorry for myself. Is that being selfish??

I have no motivation to do anything.

How is work with you and how you are kids going? what you are you up to?

In response to: Re: not feeling good

Re: not feeling good

work is so busy and somewhat stressful... but thats not new so i guess i shouldnt be complaining!
No definitely not being selfish, you're hurting and at least here in this space you dont need to be alone with that! So glad you are sharing and being heard here 🙂 no motivation is ok for today, especially with a sore ankle! do something nice for you. Maybe a fragrant cup of herbal tea or hot choc?? put on a favourite movie?
The kids are starting to get restless again, so about to go find a play ground (We already went for a walk this morning!!) its the first day it hasnt been grey and rianing for a while, so i think they're just ready to be out and about sigh! If only i had the same energy 😞
Hugs

Re: not feeling good

Hi guys

this morning i received a phone call from the CAT team. just checking in on me to see how i am. told them i was just okay, still struggling with a few things. they said they will call me tomorrow with what is happening in regards to a bed availability in the public hospital. and hopefully there may even be a bed available in the private hospital. You never know when a patient gets discharged. Although the guy told me this mronign that the public hospital was full up in the short stay unit meaning the 6 beds were taken up. So unless one patient gets discharged tomorrow I guess i won't go in. Great, I've just realised my plan B won't happen 😞

I don't know anymore, if i am better or not better. if i am coping or not coping. if i will ever get better or if i will just manage my illness forever.

I am so tired lately. Going to bed early and sleeping till late morning. And the past few weeks i have noticed that i don't even want to have a shower anymore. I can't be bothered to get dressed. if i could stay in my pj's i would. might need to get a blood test for my iron, it is prob low. i am cold all the time and very very tired.

my ankle is slightly better, i am not walking as much, my motivation for that is going downhill as well. i was all excited with walking daily; but at the moment that has gone too.

Re: not feeling good

Hi @BlueBay - glad to hear that the CAT team are checking in, though im sorry they didnt have more definite news for you. I might be wrong but can the public hospital really turn someone away if they're not safe? they might have to find you a bed if you arent safe... 😞 perhaps its better to cross that bridge tomorrow so to speak... there's not definite answer either way so just have to wait and see.
I struggle with that question a lot too, about whether or not i can really ever be ok or will it just be about managing for ever... my psychologist says i can be ok and get better... trying to trust/believe...
here with you
