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 @Decadian @utopia
I had an appt with a mental health nurse at my psychologist rooms this morning. My psychologist is away so they put me in with this lady. She was soooo nice. But as soon as I sat down and started to talk out came the tears sobbing. I kept apologising to her saying I'm sorry I don't know why I'm so emotional. Then we talked about my mum and dad agsin tears. She let me sit with the tears and kept saying it's ok to cry.
I told her about my anxiety about auction and stressors. She said for me to write down on paper in 3 columns. Thought, feeling and behaviour. Then when a thought comes up to write it down and write also how I feel and my behaviour.
I'm so glad I saw this lady today. I needed to talk to someone. She said anytime I can see her. Seeing my new psychologist on Tuesday.
Open house in 1 hour. Going to an auction soon to see how our agent works at auction.
I'll be back on here later on.
Hope you're both well. Xxoo

Re: not feeling good

@BlueBay. This lady you saw this morning sounds just what you need. Someone to hear your story and fears and anxiety. Someone who says it's okay to cry. And someone who then offers a tool that can help you.
Please do the written exercise. It really can help.
Dying to know how your auctioneer performed today. I bet he'll di a great job for your house.
Just try and focus on the outcome - after your auction. Time to look at places you may be interested in buying. Packing up and decluttering and throwing out. Can be quite cathartic.
When do you hear about your son and his police entrance exam? I so hope he gets in this year. Will then be your whole family moving on to bigger and better things.
Am thinking of you and sending you love.
@Decadian. I'm similar to you I think. My house. My decision. In my own time. Lol. Don't push or I'll push right back. Lol.
I hope you too have a beautiful day.

Hi @utopia

I'm sorry I thought I told you about my son - he got in!!!! He had his last panel interview two weeks ago and was told to wait 3 weeks but they emailed him 2 days later informing him he got accepted.

I am so happy for him, i was more excited than him LOL 🙂

He is going to Bali next week for a week then hopefully he will hear back from the Academy as to when he goes in. OMG i am so happy for him, now the hard work begins for him.

Which means now we can buy a 3 bd home and we have a big lounge that turns into a bed so when he comes down on the weekends he can sleep on that.

The auction today at this house we went to see - wow the bidding was quite high and they sold the house $100,000 more than the asking price!! Can you believe that. This house is a street away from us, a really old run down house, 3 bd, small kitchen, lounge. It was a deceased estate. When the agent came to our house for the open (which was after that auction) he said it was amazing at how much people were bidding and the result was fantastic.

We had another 7 groups through our house; one of those groups were the losing bidders of the auctioned house. Two groups asked for Sec 32 and two of the groups were second time lookers. So very posiitve. Agent kept saying as he left that now is the perfect time to sell.

The agent is coming down on monday to talk to us about sat auction. @utopia I am getting so nervous, i think i will be hiding under the stairs in a foetal position with a bottle of baileys!!! 🙂 Can you picture that LOL

Now i can't wait but i know i will be sad as there are lots of memories here. Our children grew up here. When we moved here my youngest was 7 yrs old. Now he is almost 21.

Yes i will write down the exercise the mental nurse gave me. Now at home, it is really warm outside and so so busy down the beach and street. You can't even find a car park anywhere. Oh well this will be the last weekend for the tourists for a while as school goes back next week. We can have the beach back!!! But it is good for the businesses.

What are you doing today @utopia?

Re: not feeling good

Ha ha @Zoe7

In response to: Re: not feeling good

Re: not feeling good

@Zoe7

We could invite a few friends from here for a 'pre-auction' drink and then a 'post-auction' drink !!!!

In response to: Re: not feeling good

Re: not feeling good

@BlueBay I don't drink - but used to like Bailey's myself when I did have a few.

I have been thinking about you but as you know I have not been in a place I felt I could provide you any support at all. The one thing I have wanted to say to you all week is - I KNOW THE STRENGTH YOU HAVE WITHIN BECAUSE I HAVE WITNESSED IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. So I may join you under the stairs and I may even have a drink with you next Saturday - who knows - it may be good for me!!!

In response to: Re: not feeling good

Re: not feeling good

Ha ha @Zoe7 I don't drink either!!! Great pair we would be 🙂

You made me smile @Zoe7 . I really appreciate what you wrote about me, thank you. I can't see the strength I have but others can, so thank you so much. It means a lot to me to hear from you and for what you wrote.

Well, ok we could hide under the stairs and drink a little. (Now I'm sounding like a little kid doing something wrong at school) !!!!! LOL

In response to: Re: not feeling good

Re: not feeling good
