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

Tiredness is setting in
Starting to think negative
My head just doesn't stop
It's everywhere st the moment
I'm cold tired overwhelmed and
Emotional
I think I need space to be alone
But then it's scary to be on my own

Re: not feeling good

Feeling very tired
I think it's triggering stuff
That's negative and destructive
The nights are always the hardest
It's dark it's black it's still
My mind is wandering
Seeing things I shouldn't
I'm just tired

Re: not feeling good

Hi @BlueBay

Sorry to hear you're having flashbacks and trouble sleeping. It seems to have been a rough week. Have any of the strategies in your safety plan been helpful tonight? Or is there anything else that helps with flashbacks?

Would you like to try contacting SANE Live Chat or another service for one on one support?

Re: not feeling good

Saw my GP he said my blood pressure is high so prescribed me a medication to lower it. He also thinks that a lot of my physical complaints are due to my mental health. I questioned him and was angry with him saying - but it's real I feel the pain it's real I'm not making it up. He told me he believes me he really does.
I think he just said thst. I think he must think I am a real mental person who makes this up.
I'm now not feeling good. Anxiety set in. Prob raiding my blood pressure even more.
I just want to go away. I want to be rescued and supported and loved. I need help to help me.

Re: not feeling good

@BlueBay ..... psychosomatic lain, as it is called, is real ......

It is when we are so emotionally traumatised that the body needs to express itself somehow, so it begins to exhibit signs of physical illness and intense physical pain ..... once the trauma and emotional distress are progressively treated, the physical symptoms begin to subside ...... its not “made up” at all. It’s very real and present, but the r%t cause is psychological, not physical.

Your Dr will know this, and will be telling you that you needs to keep stepping up to psychological treatment in order to. I’ve past the physical signs of illness.

This is what my daughter is experiencing.

It is very real ..... your doctor is validating your pain ......

Re: not feeling good

So @Faith-and-Hope in order to get rid of the physical pain I need to work on the mental trauma. This will take forever and in the meantime I feel so sick. I feel like fainting. It's real. I think my doctor believes in me. I just feel in my head he doesn't. I feel I am in a fantasy world when I'm sick because I want to be cared for I want to be looked after just like a child does and I'm not getting it.
