Unsure

Unsure

Need help or support.

I feel my mental health starting to decline. I'm not sure why and maybe that is not the point. I feel like I'm ok but then my thoughts go a bit wild. I'm still functioning and I feel everything is fine but it's my thoughts. I do not want to go back down that pathway of hospital and everything, although my thoughts scare me at times and I worry, maybe, I will act without thinking. (Not that I ever have)

I feel like panic is causing something in me. I only get it when I feel a body sensation which then erupts into panic or like anxiety. e.g. a sore throat = throat closing etc.

Re: Unsure

I’m in the exact same spot. I know I’m not doing well, at all, but it’s for reasons I can’t change…. so I feel stuck and overwhelmed. It’s so challenging, so I feel your pain and concern. I don’t know if it’s better or worse, to have an idea what’s coming. I don’t know if I have the confidence to go back on meds., as they make me put in weight, and I can’t stand that. It’s so hard…. ♥️

Hi @cocoloco1

Sorry to hear that you are not well. Are you on any medication? Maybe the dosage needs to increased. Are there any new stressors that might be triggering this? Keep a record of what you are feeling for your psychologist to look at. You might need to see a psychiatrist to review your medication and symptoms.
