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

I don’t have the energy. I can’t be bothered @Zoe7

and my older son decided to cook dinner tonight. I’m laying here feeling crap. I don’t care. I’m too tired to do anything.

Msybe I should sleep but that won’t help tonight. Why can’t the doctors just give me a tablet.

Re: not feeling good

Getting into a good sleep routine is super hard @BlueBay - but sleeping now won't help you tonight. If you aren't cooking what else can you do to help yourself right now - is it a good day for taking Jersey for a walk - even if you are feeling exhausted that will give you a little bit of energy for a while to at least get to dinner time and then you can have an early night afterwards.

Re: not feeling good

I’ve got no motivation to go anywhere @Zoe7

I’m laying here watching tv. I did do a load of washing before.

Not sleeping really affects mental health. You get angry frustrated emotional.

Re: not feeling good

I had many, many years of not sleeping @BlueBay so I definitely get it - and I had many, many months of not being physically able to do anything so I also get how much physical pain and inability to do anything can have severe consequences on our mental state. I couldn't do anything because I was chronically fatigued and my muscles were beginning to break down - so I get exhaustion too. Why am I telling you this now - because not only do I get it but I also know how important it is to not lay around and do nothing as it does not help you either physically or emotionally. It also does not help when you are trying to sleep at night if you are sleeping and/or laying down so much during the day. Sometimes you have to force yourself to physically move to also help you think more positive mentally as well.

Re: not feeling good

Not sure yet @BlueBay - had my left over veggies from last night for lunch - maybe a salad with chicken breast. It might also be a fruit salad yet - either way something simple and light tonight.

How are you going with Sons of Anarchy - what season are you up to?

@Zoe7

Netflix wasn’t working but our younger son fixed it. We’re up to series 3. It’s so addictive to watch even though at times there are some horrible parts.
