The shadow

[mn15]

On the surface everything should be fine, I have a job I love, two beautiful children and my husband. yet everything feels wrong. I have no energy to do anything and I feel ill all the time. I went to the doctors it seemed like the right thing to do as I'd had begun to feel so ill all the time, but ended up walking out half way though my appointment, this shadow came over me, just telling me I was being stupid and pathetic and why am I wasting the doctors time, the waiting room was full and i was taking up too much time.

What can I do to make this all go away, I have a good life I should be fine.

Hello mn15 and welcome to our supportive Community.

It sounds like you may be used to putting others before yourself being a busy wife, mother and employee too.

Perhaps this was also in part the reason why you left your doctor's appointment. If you are concerned about your health and/or how you feel, it is ok to see your GP. You are important too.

If one of your close friends had posted this I am sure you would urge them to see their GP.

I would encourage you to make another appointment to see your GP to talk about how you are feeling.

Please do let us know how you get on. We are always here to 'listen' and support you.

Hello there mn15

Can I please ask you to return to your doctor? I know you may feel uncomfortable after leaving half way through but try to explain in the same way as you have to us and I always suggest writing it down if you don't feel able to actually tell them, it does work well. You clearly need a diagnosis and do come back and let us know how it goes. Be strong, we're right behind you.

Best wishes

Chloe
