Hi. Just want to know if anyone else experiences "burning from within" sensation from depression?

Hi. Just want to know if anyone else experiences "burning from within" sensation from depression?

Broke up with bf of 5 years almost 4 months ago. I had low periods but was getting better. Now I have all my stuff back from his place, I'm really, really low again. One symptom I've noticed (especially in morning) is I feel like I'm burning from within 😮

i guess I just wanted to see if anybody else has this? or hare I completely lost it? 😮 (other symptoms are crying in morning, not wanting to get out of bed - the usual suspects I gues)

Thanks in advance for answering 😊

Hello @Muskettcat

Welcome to the forums, it is nice to meet you 🙂

I am sorry to hear about the break up that you have just gone thorugh, that sounds like an incredibly tough time dealing with that and now that you have your things back you are amost going through that again and feeling very low.I am not sure what the bruning from inside thing is but sometimes I feel this way when I am overwhelmed with emotions ?

It might be helpful to read some others threads about how they cope with depression, there is a thread started by @dr-ev-md here.

There is another great thread started by @Prilly123 here.

What kind of support are you getting at the moment? Is there anyone you can talk to like friends or family or even a counsellor/psychologist?

I look forward to getting to know you better, it is great you have come to the forums for extra support at the moment

Hi Lunar

thanks for your reply. I'll check out those tips. It's weird as I was slowly getting better then BAM it's hit me like a ton of bricks!

Well I've moved in with family so they've been supportive but I kinda feel like a burden sometimes as I've been crying every morning for almost a week. I'm on an antidepressant and going to see my parents local doctor also.

The burning feeling is after having lots of negative thoughts. It's like my body's saying "just STOP it" lol

but like my mum said, I'm grieving. You can't have been with some one for 5 years (lived with him for 2) and not have some withdrawals.

Thanks again for your reply 😊
