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

Yes, sounds like a good idea to me too @BlueBay ...... remember a hot shower can help too .....

Re: not feeling good

@Faith-and-Hope is right BB - a nice hot shower can help to relax you - might be worth trying tonight before you take your sleeping med - then snuggle up in bed and tackle tomorrow when it comes

Keeping yourself distracted is key - do some things that you enjoy and leaving much less time to think - we know how much more our thoughts can spiral out of control when we do not have things to keep us occupied. What kind of things can you do tomorrow to distract yourself - maybe make a list tonight so you have it ready to go tomorrow...even plan your day hour by hour eg. get up, have breakfast, have a shower, knit for half an hour, get a cuppa...etc. etc. If you have a plan then you are less likely to be in your own head and more likely to deal with the day

Re: not feeling good

Hi @Zoe7
I'm feeling sick in my stomach. And my throat is sore. Just woke up. Had breakfast put the washing on. Need to vac and clean the bathrooms and toilets. Then I want to get my hair done at hairdressers. Then I'm stuck. I don't know what else to. I'm dreading tonight but want to go for my sister. I hate my brother. I hate his guts. He hurt me do much and still is hurting me. I never wanted to see him agsin. But I guess I have to tonight.

Re: not feeling good

I know how hard tonight is going to be for you @BlueBay but you need to do things today to focus your mind elsewhere. Cleaning and getting your hair done are great distractions - what can you do this afternoon to dostract yourself also - maybe make a cake to take with you tonight - put all that love you have for your sister into that cake!

@Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope
Things got worse this morning. I felt pain in my chest neck and shoulder and light headed. I went straight to my doctor and he was at reception. I walked in and told him I don't feel well. He checked me out and asked about my heart. I told him I felt like fainting. He took me to his treatment room to lay down. He wanted me to go to a private hospital. J said I csnt I have this party. He said at least you wouldn't see your brother. In the end he gave me an anxiety tab a very mild one suggested I go to bed and sleep and call him st 2pm.
Called him back and he said I'm to come back in on Monday to check my chest and shoulder pain but if pain still tomorrow go to hospital
This party has really taken over my body. My doctor said it's my body's way of shutting down and not wanting to go.
He really didn't want me to go. But my family are going and I have yo go. At least I have a med to take now 😥😥

Re: not feeling good

And if you don’t stay long at the party I am sur your sister will understand ......

Look after you @BlueBay ...... you might find your brother looks rather small and insignificant to you now, after not seeing him for so long ...... this might help you to put him and his abuse out of your way.

Re: not feeling good

Hi @BlueBay - here with you tonight, hoping that the party is going ok and you are managing. You have shown so much courage and determination to go, well done! Also glad to hear you have a wonderful dr who is listening. I was also thinking it might be very empowering to know that you are this amazingly strong and that you're able to manage this...
Take care
