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 @BlueBay .... 💙🐚💕

It’s a very unsettled and sensitive time for you at the moment. It sounds like you are feeling very vulnerable about this potential job, after the interview and in this so-awkward waiting time ..... and all your unhappiness and feelings of insecurity are rising up around you.

I am guessing they are all interconnected with a sense of panic. While you can’t help that, and none of it is your fault, there are things you have learned about keeping yourself calm and distracting as much as possible from the uncomfortable feelings, to give your mind a chance to process them around the sense of panic.

Did you do any journaling during your time in hospital ? Can you remember what the staff taught you about calming your system when those panic feelings start to overtake you ?

Hugs and hugs @BlueBay ..... the waiting time is awful ..... but you will get through it.

Step up your self-care in any direction you can.

💐💙🐚💕

Re: not feeling good

I think you'rre right @Faith-and-Hope i am feeling very unsettled and panicking about the job.

i am feeling vulnerable and all my negative feelings are coming out this time.

Journalling doesn't work for me - it brings on more negative stuff for me.

i am at the moment trying to get ready for work. at least that's a distraction.

waiting is terrible, i don't know when i will hear, hopefully soon.

thanks for the hugs i needed them.

So now i have the whole weekend to panic stress and wait to hear about the job. i would have thought that by now they would know who they want. the interview was on wednesday it doesn't take that long.

i hate this waiting, i am so nervous my stomach is playing up terribly

it's hard to keep my mind busy and mind off it when all i can think of is the job and what if .....

Re: not feeling good

Yeah I will most likely see her on the weekend. That will distract me fir a little while it's so hard my inner voice is saying so much negative stuff.
