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

Have you tried following those dinner boxes @Meowmy? Apparently, they have all of the ingredients for meals (including spices) and recipe cards to help you cook. That may be an option and you might find joy in learning how to cook!

Re: not feeling good

It is hard to not compare, but it sounds like you've had a great day yourself playing at the park with your baby granddaughter @BlueBay.

Re: not feeling good

@Meowmywhen i was smoking pot. Sleeping and afternoon naps were a joy and very easy. And with my first and original medication. Same thing. But then they put me on other stuff and i lost my ability to sleep in, go to bed early, have a full nights sleep/afternoon naps....

Once they put me on the dopamine antagonists then blockers and I lost all that. Now I'm struggling to get a full nights sleep/rest properly. And I'm hitting the ciggies and coffee harder then ever before ~ to counteract the dopamine blocker effects. Always feeling wired.

Now i complain about meds and side effects or not working. And they just wanna move me onto heavier more potent drugs. Not real good aye???

This arvo I've been having a single person/third wheel moment. And have decided to detach. Block out and do some bible study.

Re: not feeling good

@Meowmyi think sunshine and listening to and playing musical instruments helps people with dementia.

As for the cooking thing. Not sure. I struggle with it myself. Salad sandwiches. Toasty toasties. Mash frozen veg and a cut of meat. Quiche. Cauliflower rice. Special fried rice. Pasty slice. Home made pizzas.

Re: not feeling good

@eudemonism @Sorry you are not feeling well. I do find reading helps. I had many moments of despair , daily, hourly for a long time. Find the right meds is important. It does take time. It is good to have faith. It helped through the most difficult times of extreme prolonged anxiety. MI is such a struggle,but with time, and hard work, it does get lighter and better.

I am going into prayers again. It helps my emotions.

Pray for you too and everyone.

take care.

Re: not feeling good

@Zoe7 I had a quick look but not sure which site is good. How do you know if they’re good?

@Ali11 Haven’t met you before 😊. I noticed before that you’re a community builder (what does that mean)
