Not sure what do

[Blue_81]

I feel like im slowly dying. My anxiety and depression symptoms are getting worse. My health is declining, cant get past this constant stomach pain. Been to the doctors for the past two years and they don't know what I have. I feel pretty much alone. All I want to do is sleep but even that im having a hard time doing 😞.

Just seen your post, your strong and will get there, Not been good myself for a few days, I asked if I could be admitting to to hospital, but was told no not bad enough, Look after yourself,

[Blue_81 in reply to Ellielmay]

I been to the hospital several times and they wont admit me as well. Im not bad enough as well but I feel really horrible.

[Ellielmay in reply to Blue_81]

Me to, I feel like crap,

[Ellielmay in reply to Blue_81]

Blue4567, Will this ever go away, without medication

[Blue_81 in reply to Ellielmay]

Ellielmay, i hope it would go away with out medication. Unfortunately, I think medication will have to be part our lives.

[Ellielmay in reply to Blue_81]

Yes, your right, I'm so frightened off medication , Had a very bad experience a few years ago, I've been in bed all day crying, and I know I'm the only one that can help me

[Blue_81 in reply to Ellielmay]

Yes, im afraid of medication as well. I understand how you feel, i’ve only taken it when I cant handle it. How long have you been experiencing anxiety?

[Ellielmay in reply to Blue_81]

I got COVID, was pretty I'll, got a little anxious after that, That would be September, My sister died in Oct unexpectedly, funeral in Nov, that's when anxiety got really bad, Then found a lump in my boob, That's how I've ended up in this state,

[Ellielmay]

Need to ask, have you ever been wakened up with hot flashes and feeling nauseous,

[Blue_81 in reply to Ellielmay]

Hello Ellielmay, its rare when I get nauseous but I have wakened up with hot flashes. I’ve only had a couple of them but I dont like it at all. Why do you ask?

[Ellielmay in reply to Blue_81]

Anxiety been bad lately, and been walking up feeling really hot, and it's frightened me,

[Blue_81 in reply to Ellielmay]

I had answered earlier but I did it on a different reply box ☺️. Cool showers before bed or somewhat cold helps alot with hot flashes. The first time I experienced anxiety with hot flashes I noticed that made miracles for me. However, It does take like two weeks of continuous practice to notice a change.

[Ellielmay in reply to Blue_81]

Ok, thanks, Getting in touch with Dr, in the morning, It's frightening been woke up with a massive hot flash and then feeling cold, Don't think I can take much more off this, Thanks sooo much, for being able too text , I haven't stopped crying all day , thinking it will happen again tonight,

[Blue_81 in reply to Ellielmay]

Im sorry to hear that you are going through a rough time and im glad i’ve been able to help. It may be hard at this moment but Going for a walk (longer the better) has a soothing effect. Watch a funny movie or two before going to sleep, i think it may have a positive effect to grt you through today. Just want to say thank you as well you been supportive. Just been in so much pain and my anxiety was through the roof. I feel im dying, my stomach is in pain (every day) and it is not because I ate something bad. My meals have become very small these past two years because its hard for me to eat. Just scared, my dad died of colon cancer and alot of things are racing through my mind.

[Ellielmay in reply to Blue_81]

So sorry to hear that, Maybe your stomach issues might be due to anxiety, and that why you can only eat small meal's, Some days I can't eat anything as my stomach is so nasusa and sick, Dr said it can effect your digestive system, and as your worried it might have something to do with it,

[Blue_81 in reply to Ellielmay]

Sent you a PM

[mvillarreal]

I'm sorry you're going through a difficult time. Is it possible the stomach problems are related to the anxiety? Is there anything you do for yourself to help with your anxiety and depression?

[Blue_81 in reply to mvillarreal]

Hello mvillareal, yes I thought that as well. I got prescribed a small dose of anti-depression medicine. I tried it for 2 1/2 months but I did not feel any relieve. I notice if im very happy mood my pain does go down. I may need to give it a try with a different medication. I do get scared since my dad died of colon cancer. At times pain gets unbearable.

[mvillarreal in reply to Blue_81]

I'm sorry your medication didn't work. Did you let your psychiatrist know? Do you do anything like breathing exercises or doing something to distract yourself or something else that helps you cope?

[Blue_81 in reply to mvillarreal]

I have not told my doctor but I need to get in contact. So tired of taking medication. Walking helps i know and I do it as much as I can. I have tried breathing but I dont feel a difference. I was listening to a podcast that it takes like a month to feel a difference.

[mvillarreal in reply to Blue_81]

Well, definitely keep walking, and feel better soon!

You might want to see a gastroenterologist as I think this would relieve your anxiety about your GI tract.

[Blue_81 in reply to b1b1b1]

I have been going to the GI doctor unfortunately nothing has been successful. They give me anti-acids but doesnt help. Had surgery for my gallbladder and they got it wrong 😭
