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 😞

Hi @Owlunar @soft_edges @Former-Member @Razzle @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope @Zoe7 @CheerBear and others reading this

As you can see from my previous posts last night that I was terrible. Couldn’t get yo sleep. Kept crying then nurse came in at about 10.30 and suggested a warm shower. That made me cry even more.

The night nurse (really lovely one) came in to see how I was snd i lost it. Crying and telling her so much negative stuff. She made me look for a meditation on my phone. I tried thst snd ended up falling asleep.

At 4am sgsin the flood gates opened up. Crying wanting to sh wanting to punch kick anything I could grab hold of. Night nurse made a milo to drink snd agsin I tried the meditation. But I couldn’t sleep. So I sat up snd started to crochet. I finally got to sleep for an hour.

The hospital medical doctor saw me this morning reg stomach pain. He has ordered an ultrasound tomorrow morning and phoned the gastrointestinal consultant to come snd see me. He wants me to hsve a gastroscopy while I’m in here. Makes sense.

I’m feeling very flat. Moods changing quickly from depressed tears to being ok to then tears again.

waiting for my psych to come today.

Sending you lots of 💗 @BlueBay. Last night sounds really horrible but it also sounds like you tried hard and did plenty of things to help yourself.

Hope you have some relief from your stomach pain soon and that your psych appointment is helpful. Big hugs

Re: not feeling good

I'm sorry so to hear you had such a rough night @BlueBay, it's very hard to cope with mood swings when you're not getting enough sleep. I know for myself that after a couple nights of disrupted sleep, my resilience goes completely out the window.

It's good that you were able to talk to the nurses, I hope the psych provides a bit more support. Let us know how it goes? Sending you much love ❤️

update -

this mirning I had to fast to have a upper abdomen scan. Had that done now waiting for results.

The gastroenterologist came in to see me. He is going to put me back on a med for pain. He’s ordered blood tests to check liver pancreas and bloods. And he will find out when there is an availability for theatre to do gastroscopy possibly Thursday or Friday. He will also take bioposy to check for a bacteria and also for cealiac.

So it will be good to have this done and find out what’s causing the pain.

Another terrible night. Woke up twice because of pain.

Up wt 4am reading my book but then fell asleep for another hour.

My s and d came to visit tiday. Ayla loves sitting on my bed and watches play school.

Sending you all lots of love and hope you’re all ok.

BB xxxooo

@BlueBay I hope all these tests bring you some answers, it sounds like you're really being put through the wringer! I'm glad you got to see the kids again today, they must be such a breath of fresh air. What are you reading?

Re: not feeling good

@soft_edges I’m reading autobiography on Osher Gunsberg. He used his tv name as Andrew G. It’s an amazing book about his life of depression suicide recovery. His life on radio and tv. I’m nearly finished the book. Definitely recommend this book. Another book I loved reading was another autobiography on Anh Doh the Comedian. Laughed and cried with this book.

How has your day been?

In response to: Re: not feeling good

Re: not feeling good

Hi @BlueBay is it The Happiest Refugee by Anh Do? I loved that one. Yet to read Osher's book so interested in your thoughts. I've heard him on tv, radio and social media and he's (I was going to say a good ambassador, but I think he's an actual Sane board member ) He seems authentic and open.

In response to: Re: not feeling good

Re: not feeling good

@BlueBay That sounds like an interesting autobiography, thanks for the recommendation! My day has been quiet thankfully. My sleep hasn't been great recently, but I managed to do a bit of work, and start looking for a new psychologist, which is always a gamble haha.
