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

@BlueBay. If you feel like screaming and stomping - do just that. It's your body telling you - that this is how you can release your pent up tension. When we don't release it - it makes us worse.
Grab a pillow and scream into it. Swear if you need to. Thump the pillow. Sit in the car - crank up the radio and scream. But don't drive.
I'm feeling very restless as the moment. Anxiety rising. Panic waiting on the edge.
I'm going to go for a brisk walk to get rid of some tension. Suffocating in the house. Now have to convince my son to come with me.

Re: not feeling good

Thanks everyone. Can't sleep awake last hour. Hubby just left for work. I am scared of falling of failing of losing.
I just want to go. My breathing is not great just used puffer. I need to release pent up anger. And emotion. I'm tired. I can't sleep but need to. I want to cry but it's not happening.

Re: not feeling good

I would suggest that you get up now @BlueBay and start your day, maybe with a cup of tea and piece of toast, rather than lying there with anxiety bothering you.

Start the housework .... the washing machine maybe ... turn the radio on and listen to the morning chat and music choices ....

Distract, distract, distract ....

Sorry I wasnt there last night, are you ok?

I went through the same thing last night with major anxiety after what happened at work, I took your advice and sculled a brandy when I got home. I then started playing with the dog and doing anything I could to distract myself, fortunately one of my favourite movies came on so I was able to get into that and forget my anxiety a bit UNTIL this morning I was freaking out and I really didnt want to go to work but I faced my fears and I'm here and everything is rosey for some strange reason.

I think the best thing is to get up and start moving if you havent already, just keep doing things and keep saying positive things to yourself.

I find facing what I'm anxious about and then I find when I do I think to myself why was I so worked up over this its not that much of a big deal. Its just when we are in this headspace all our emotions are to an extreme but that doest mean the outcome is to an extreme.

Thinking of you

@BlueBay

Just think of the peace while you are in the cinema and emerse yourself in the movie - escape and enjoy!

I'm proud of you for doing this, I have never gone by myself either.

I'm still stressed too but I'm going to get into work and not let it get to me.
