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

Anxiety escalated the physical pain @BlueBay ..... so try to keep as calm as you can. I have been learning this about my D3.

Re: not feeling good

Had a really weird night of dreams. Of this same person who has died over a year ago. He keeps coming in my dreams. He was only a close family friend.
Anyway I'm working today doing a 5 hr shift which I'm not happy because of my sore back but no one else could cover the shift. I'll be resting when I come home.
I've started crocheting a bsby blanket for my boss who is pregnant. This is helping me stay busy and calm.
My anxiety today is ok so far.

Re: not feeling good

That’s good news @BlueBay ..... ❣️

What colour is the baby blanket ? Is it the mint green one you were making ?

I have had strange dreams this week ..... we probably have them all the time, but don’t remembet them when we wake up .....

I hope you have got your comfiest shoes for your shift. Does it help to put cushioned insoles in them ? I am finding a huge difference between walking in my cushioned joggers as opposed to just flats or sandals.

Re: not feeling good

Take deep breaths and start looking around you at things that you can see and hear .... concentrate on colours ...... unusual sounds .... different shapes ..... the chair you are sitting in, the taste of tea if you’re drinking some ..... engage with your environment @BlueBay ..

Re: not feeling good

I am @Faith-and-Hope. But now I'm home and I feel like crying. The intense of my emotions are strong. I have so much to do at home. No one helps me. I'm sick of doing everything. I'm destructive niw. I want to Sh.

Re: not feeling good

Maybe go for a long hot shower first @BlueBay ..... then choose just one task to do as if none of the others exist. When that task is done you will feel good about it ...... then choose another task as if none of the others exist ...... and don’t put yourself under pressure to get it done either. If nobody else is helping you, then you are master of your own time about how and when things get done. If anyone complains, ask them to pitch in and help you if they want it done any faster.

Your task, your rules ..... ❣️

Re: not feeling good

Hi @Faith-and-Hope
I ended up
doing a load of washing
cleaned the bathrooms
Cleaned the toilets
Ironed my two shirts for work
Divided and froze my own bread for the week
Did a bit of food shopping for dinner
Cooked dinner - lentil and veg soup
Now I'm sitting down doing some crotchet while all 3 boys are still watching the cat race

I think I've done enough for today considering I worked a 5 hour shift this morning!!!
