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

Thankyou @Zoe7 ❤️❤️

i really don’t think hubby understands. I’m wondering now if my doctor will talk to him?? Just a thought.

I’m now taking hour by hour. That’s all my mind can take. Can’t do anymore.

Re: not feeling good

I think that is a great idea @BlueBay - maybe coming from the doctor he will get a clearer idea of what you are dealing with and how hard it is for you. Good thinking BB

Re: not feeling good

I really need something needs to be done because he is so naive when it comes to me being unwell especislly mental health. It’s like he blocks his ears and doesn’t want to know.

Well im his wife so he needs to support me more.

Sorry to hear this @BlueBay
I'm not much of a counsellor on this stuff, but I hope you can find out how to explain your MH to your husband soon.

Re: not feeling good

I suppose he can only support you if he actually knows what is happening for you and that may need to come from the GP - sometimes those conversations have more impactn coming from the professionals. That also means that you need to be honest with him also BB - there is no point in him getting the information from your GP if you are to hide things as well - your hubby can't help if he does not know what is going on @BlueBay

Tears are flowing sgsin

i csnt keep doing this

im tired of this life

I’m exhausted

I close my eyes and I start crying again

I just can’t keep going

I’m tired yo type

I’m having neg thoughts again

I need to stop my head

I’m fo over today

but tomorrow won’t be any better with no money and I mean only $80 until Wednesday next week. Have yo get petrol fir two cars ; food fruit veggies. I’m embarrassed and ashamed to tell you all about our finances. I feel really bad and blame myself. If I didn’t have depression we wouldn’t be in this mess. It’s all my fault. Just realised it. My life is completely over. 😥😥

Re: not feeling good

Hey @BlueBay
Don't say that about yourself.
Could you potentially ring lifeline or similar just to have a chat and figure things out?
I doubt that it's all your fault re finances. Rarely are things ever attributible to one single cause.
Sounds like you are simply exhausted. Go get some sleep and take a break.
Finances are always stressful and a nuisance.
If you only have 80 til Wednesday, have you got enough things to eat between now and then?
Either way, I'm sure you are smart enough to figure out what you need to do. Maybe just get some rest now and then tackle it tomorrow

Re: not feeling good

Our finances have been like that before @BlueBay .... not for a long time now, but it was like that for us when our kids were little.

I don’t know whether any of my management methods will work for you, but I had a few to help get us through.

I used to catch public transport, or re-book appointments and things to help work around the tightest points in the month.

I used to buy bulk veggies from a market near us ..., a 10kg bag of “juicing” carrots cost only $3, so if you opened my fridge it was full of carrots in every shelf (you would have been pleased @Zoe7 😁). We had carrots with everything that they weren’t in ...., carrot and pumpkin soup, grated carrots in salads, grated carrots in sandwiches, baked carrots, steamed carrots, coleslaw ..... mainly it was just increasing the carrots in our diet. The same markets had big bags of whatever the excess veggies and fruits were for the season.

I bought bread on sp coal and froze it, and used a lot of rice in the cooking because it wasn’t expensive either.

Generally whatever left-overs there were could go into a baking tray and get mixed with eggs and milk, and baked with a bit of cheese on top.

I hope something there helps you.
