Mixed emotions

[Kassayee]

This is my first time doing this, so I’m not sure how to start this. But, lately I’ve been feeling really moody. I’m not sure what it is or what triggers me to act a certain way I just get really upset or happy or one minute I feel like crying. I just want to change this even if it doesn’t happen right away. I love my two beautiful boys and my husband but sometimes I feel like I can be happier. Maybe it’s living with a lot of people and other kids and I’m constantly cleaning or stressed or just irritated that I’m currently not working and with this pandemic going on makes a lot of things harder. At times I feel like everyone is against me. In my head I’m thinking “ why are you acting like this? You have so many things to be blessed about.” But yet here I am. I just want to be happy. When I write all this it makes me want to laugh cause now I feel selfish. Because there are so many things going on in the world and I just feel like I’m being ungrateful.

Hi. I’m Andy🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I’m sure you already have considered speaking with your G.P. If not, then please do. I’d always advise on making an appointment with your health care provider.

This could be a hormonal imbalance. I’ve known people with your symptoms that have needed a little help because of low Oestrogen, or in males, low Testosterone. A simple blood test will let you know.

Please have a chat with your doctor. At least then you will know what you’re dealing with.

Take good care of yourself.

Hello Andy

You seem like you may know the answer would hormonal imbalance have the same symptoms as depression for example? Anything hormonal the gp wont have and blame on mental health.

[Wiganladlovesapie in reply to Mia898]

Hi again.

Yes. Having a hormonal imbalance can definitely mirror like symptoms of say depression. This is why I suggested getting a blood test to rule things out.

Your g.p should be starting there. After all a blood test can positively say without a doubt that you either have low, or a normal level of Oestrogen. So if all is well hormonal wise then it’s a discussion about how terrible you have been feeling. Crying, upset and moody.

It’s your right to be cared for professionally. Whether your g.p has a hang up, or problem with hormones in general it should not come into this.

Please take good care and my fingers are crossed for you 🤞

Hello Andy

Lets hope that Kassayee has better luck than me . When I went to the GP I did not get blood test the gp said it was mental health ( I found it hard to believe and a passing off ). I got more help from a homeopath .

Hi Mia.

I’m so sorry to hear about your GP. I don’t understand this attitude re blood tests to check hormone levels. It is standard in my practice. And thankfully so. Not just to check hormone levels, but a Full Blood Count can tell us lots about what is going on, or that all’s ok.

I’m one who will not be be deterred. For me, and my family. It’s called ‘Having a big mouth syndrome’ 😉

So happy you got the help you needed from your homeopath.

Take care.

Hello Andy

I could do with big mouth the nurse was going to refer back to gyane as per letter and GP said no. I have how ever written to GP again . I just don`t get what my GP problem is .. They when they phone you why did you message in today why any different .

I cannot even get a blood test to look at iron levels when I am tired they say no .

I do not get out GPs I have to not say what I think as work with them that is the problem so cannot be rude or change GP practice as linked to all ...

Thank you 🙏🏽

You're feelings are acceptable no matter where they're coming from. They happen, I feel like you often enough with a totally different plate of life to deal with. Allow yourself to be shitty on occasion, allow yourself to be selfish for extended periods of time on occasion. You're doing the best you can while at it, nobody's happy and grateful and amazing all day every day.

Thank you so much

Hi Kassayee

In my recent post I wrote very similar symptoms to yourself. Although I have suffered with anxiety issues for many years i have never had a hormone test! My GP wasn’t surprised when I called him and said he had many new patients with anxiety symptoms and suggested I increased my meds.

The angry thoughts and mixed emotions along with snippy comments were enough to make me ask for help and like yourself, writing on here helps too. Take care

[Kassayee in reply to Clericus]

Thank you yes writing on her does help

I am glad that you have found it to be helpful to post on here. As others have mentioned, have you been able to speak with your primary care provider? Also have you ever heard of the book Ten Thousand Gifts? Sometimes, even when our feelings fluctuate, it can be helpful to find something to be thankful for. With the changes, anxiety, and uncertainty due to the virus and other things, it can be really easy to have our emotions be affected. Have you considered seeing a licensed counselor to express how you have been feeling as well? Please continue to post on here and let us know how you are doing.

[Kassayee]

Thank you but no I haven’t heard of the book . And no I have not talked to my car provider. I know I should but I haven’t been feeling ok to even want to go out
