Nothing relaxes me anymore.

[Meyer_Gdmnx]

I used to feel relaxed when listening to rain patter against my window not anymore. I used to get relaxed by watching my favourite tv shows not anymore. I used to feel relaxed from taking a long hot bath not anymore. Why is this can anyone explain it to me any why I don’t feel myself and will I ever get if back?

Have you seen a professional and been diagnosed with something?

[Meyer_Gdmnx in reply to LilyAnnepuppy]

Health anxiety and generalised anxiety with minor depression

[LilyAnnepuppy in reply to Meyer_Gdmnx]

I have a major depression and anxiety disorder, which is currently responding well to counseling and meds. Anxiety makes me antsy and that makes it difficult to relax. But you may find other things which work for you. Keep posting and sharing. You’ll get a lot of responses and tips.

Thank you for your help and advice today it means a lot I wish you all the luck in the world overcoming your challenges❤️ Unfortunately I’m to anxious to take meds☹️

I feel the same at the moment but I’m suffering sudden panic disorder / anxiety constantly alongside side effects of medication. Everything is irritating me and I have no tolerance of sound etc

I’m hoping it doesn’t last because tv was my way of relaxing and I’m out of ideas xx

How’s the dogs 🐕

[Meyer_Gdmnx in reply to Sillysausage234]

They’re good thanks for asking again but I don’t live with them thankfully but again thanks for asking how are you!

[Sillysausage234 in reply to Meyer_Gdmnx]

I’m ok thanks no complaints today,how long have you felt like this..are you on any meds

[Meyer_Gdmnx in reply to Sillysausage234]

I’ve not really noticed until now but probably a few years I just put it down to getting older so not being as easy to relax but it’s something more insidious going on. I’m not on anything no I’m too afraid to be

[Sillysausage234 in reply to Meyer_Gdmnx]

do you sleep ok

[Meyer_Gdmnx in reply to Sillysausage234]

Intermittently some weeks it’s okay like 2am/3am until 10 11am or 12. Sometimes worse like 4 but not very often

Wow just like me I don't sit still at all morning till night my legs hurt I'm so light headed I'm so weak I can't concentrate. Nothing intrests me I cant have no fun at all. I'm like a headless chicken tbh. A don't no who I am am so sick a don't go out it's been 8 weeks now. It's scary as hell x

[Meyer_Gdmnx in reply to Sodown]

Have you ever tried listening to Dr Claire Weeks she’s fantastic I’m sure it’ll help you a lot

[Meyer_Gdmnx in reply to Sodown]

Oh no I’m so sorry you are going through this I’m actually very fortunate to be able to sit still but that’s just purely because I don’t want to move because I don’t feel like it.😩 I don’t lay down all day I get up an get dressed and walk around play sports once a week go on dog walks so if I’m given something to do I’ll usually do it but it’s just maybe what happens when you’re unemployed

[Sodown in reply to Meyer_Gdmnx]

I wish I could sit down tbh I just lay down if so lol. It's life got to get on with it were still hear which is what reassures me alot I'm Sik of feeling drained also

[Meyer_Gdmnx in reply to Sodown]

Have you been to any doctors at all about it and how well do you sleep?

[Sodown in reply to Sodown]

I'm scared of every thing tbh won't get bloods done. Yes seen doc I go through CBT ATM

[Meyer_Gdmnx in reply to Sodown]

How’s CBT going? it did wonders for me and I’ve had bloods and when they come back all clear which I’m sure they will it’s a major help

[Sodown in reply to Meyer_Gdmnx]

Just started it so only had 3 sessions up to now via phone x

Hey. I’m new here. I wish there was something I could say to make things better. God certainly did not want us to be sick. I am afraid of meds myself because of the side effects and getting hooked on them and/or getting off of them. I like what you said about that we are still here. We are Gods people. Just pray and lean on Him it does help me. He holds us together anyway. And if you ever say to yourself I don’t know who I am, say I am a child of the living God.
