I need help or tips to go trough this...

I am anxious and maybe a little depressed. I take medecine and followed by my doctor every month. I have IBS too and low blood pressure. I am starting a job because I was on a sick note for 5 months. I tried 1 day at my new job and it's fine. But there come days when I get sick again and when I call off....I feel like a piece of garbage. I'm just a thing that takes away money or doing nothing at home. I judge myself a lot. I don't know what else to do. I try to stay occupied at home but I still feel bad about being sick. I hate my body and sometimes I feel like I don't deserve the love and money that my husband pay for me...

Am I alone in this? Can someone help..? I don't know who to see or talk to.. Even my doctor don't really care when I said I had some big downs lately...

Thanks...

Is it the IBS that is making you sick? I have it also. You may want to see a gastroenterologist. There is no magic cure, but there are a number of things that can be done to improve it. I take probiotics, peppermint pills (not candy, but ones made for digestive problems) and follow the FODMAP diet.

Hello. I also suffer from severe depression, anxiety and IBS. The combo is enough to make anyone feel sick. I agree about seeing a GI Dr. The IBS is much easier to manage then the depression in my opinion. The Depression is trickier. I have been stuggling with it for almost 20 years and still have a hard time managing it. I try to stay busy also and go to the gym to get outta my head and improve my body. It does help most of the time but I still struggle and I am also under a Therapist snd dr's care, get ECT treatments, practixe mindfulness,etc. and still have horrible, guilty, miserable feelings of depression everyday. It's hard. But you are definitely not alone. That's why we are all here. Try and have a great day. I'm sure you are a wonderful person. It's the depression making you think that you are all those bad things. Try not to let it get the best of you. Try to focus on all the things that you see and feel that are good about yourself. 😁
