Hey, Im sorry you feel so alone at the moment - I dont have many words of wisdom but just wanted to reach out to you as having a panic attack is so scary - I have had them and when your alone its terifying. You can speak to me if you need to.
Also of course maybe see your doctor xx sending love

Its hard to get hold of my doc at the minute he rarely calls me back when I ring for an emergency I am so scaref of anything medical so try to give a wide birth if I have too but obviously I will go a+e if I have too xx
Go to A&E Nat, get immediate appointment, feel better soon!
Take care and stay safe 🙂

Hi don I will if its like it all day or tomorrow thanks so much xx
Have you seen the doctor yet? Few things are as scary as a panic attack so it would be good if you could have a system in place for when it happens.Do you sometimes have panic attacks?
There are various techniques for dealing with panic so when you are okay again you can check them out with your doctor or therapist
All the best to you 👍
I've been like this for 20 years even worse since I lost me mum in 2007 my health anxiety has been so bad on and off ever since my anxiety gets triggered by anything medical its a nightmare thanks so much
I wonder what kinds of treatment you have tried?Has anything been helpful?
I’ve tried cbt 4 times I’ve had bereavement counselling, I’ve had group therapy one to one psychiatrist still can’t control it when it’s hit hard xx
It’s very hard but at least you have been trying. Congratulations. I heard a psychiatrist say that different treatments work for different people and there are lots of treatments/programs available. Maybe try something different when you have the time and energy, but be a bit careful. Make sure you check something out before trying as some treatments can be bad for some people. And some providers are not professional, and sometimes unethical.Best of luck
Sometimes dark stools are just from constipation. I would drink lots of water and have some oatmeal, pears, salad, almonds….
Definitely call your doctor but I don’t see a reason to rush to the hospital at this point.
Big hugs!
Here are some non-emergency reasons for dark stools. ❤️
I can’t see anything raf?
It’s a screenshot. Try opening HealthUnlocked in an internet browser instead of the app. 😊
Basically: things like Pepto Bismol, iron supplements, activated charcoal supplements, blueberries, Oreo cookies, grape juice, constipation, and bile that hasn’t broken down can turn stool dark.
Sorry you are feeling alone. Sucks that you can't get a hold of the doctor. Can you ring another one? I know it's hard to relax but try to put out the bad thots.❤
I’m trying so hard too but when it’s there it’s there isn’t it and it’s just trying to get it under control that’s hard xx
It is hard to get it under control. I know I kind of freak out when I see a new mole or something that one of relations had that pass away from. I always think same symptoms same outcome.Andyou know about moles. I overreact when I see one I never seen one I had before or the mole grows.🌻
anyone awake? Looking for a friend and support
