Don’t know if I’m coming or going

This week has been an emotional roller coaster, 1 min I feel ok the next I can’t stop crying , the slightest thing sets me off, most days I’ve had to force myself to get out of bed and I’ve only left the house when I’ve had an appointment or needed something from the shop etc, suffering from severe insomnia and constant arthritis pain isn’t helping me just makes me feel more even more depressed and every time I have to go anywhere I suffer with severe anxiety and have panic attacks just thinking about it,whenever I know I have an appointment or have to go somewhere I don’t sleep at all as I can’t stop thinking about it and spend all night worrying about having to go, I used to be so confident and out going until I spent 6 months waiting to start my new arthritis treatment , during that time I was in constant pain and could barely move so rarely left the house and that’s when my depression and anxiety began and it’s just got worse and worse ever since 😩

you really must get some mental help. i went to a counselor here in town just to talk and it helped immentsely, if your like i was i didn't see too may people because of how i felt and so i didn't talk to anyone about my prolem. i talked and she listened and i felt better i also went to mydr. and got some cymbalta for my arthritis pain and it helped a lot. please get some help. you sound as desperate as i was and you will feel much better. let me know how that goes

Thanks for your kind words of support and advice, I’ve been seeing my gp fortnightly for the last 7 wks, I went again yesterday and he prescribed mirtazapine to go with the sertraline that I’m already taking, I have a telephone appointment booked with a member of the mental health team on Tuesday, so fingers crossed I will be feeling better soon xx

Think I know how you feel, I have depression/severe anxiety, I am lucky my arthritis is in remission. It sound to me like you need help from your Dr. and Therapy, I have found therapy to be So helpful. Also if there is one near by support groups are great. So be good to yourself.

Do not put yourself down, do at least 1 good thing a day for you. Sending love & peace -Sprinkle 1
