Hospital

[celt34]

Hi

I'm in a downward spiral of chronic anxiety/panic, I'm not sleeping, can't eat, sick to the pit of my stomach, diarrhoea and a nervous wreck. Has anyone been here before, I have no energy, can't even shower and feel hopeless. Has anyone ever been admitted to hospital got this kind of thing and did it help?

Morning celt34

I have not been admitted to hospital so not being much help there am I?

Are you getting any support from G/P or family, friends?

Anxiety and panic can get better if we get the right support.

Sorry not been much help just wanted to answer your post so you know you not alone.

My partner knows but doesn't understand and is consumed looking after baby and house. I want to go e her a break and get help. I'm thinking of going to stay with my dad for a while and seeing if I can get help from the crisis team. I'm so lost and so confused right now

Hi Celt, I've had all the same symptoms in the past an I felt the same, I wanted to go to hospital, I actually went to A an E as I couldn't keep any food down, they just prescribed me diazepam which I didn't end up taking as they can be addictive, I wuld advise go an see ur GP, I eventually went onto antidepressants but don't rule these out no matter wat bad stories u hear about them, because they did really help me, hope u find the right help xx

Hi Maisie I was on citalopram too, luckily I didn't have any side effects it's just about find the right tablets for u, they take a few weeks to work tho it took me about 4-6 weeks to notice a difference x

Hi, I was not admitted to hospital but I was a regular visitor to my GP. Has something specific happened to trigger this episode? I do understand how lost and confused you might be, I only discovered this site recently and it has been a real help having others that understand - keep asking x

I was going about life happy when this hit out of nowhere although I was exhausted and had lost my sister to cancer a year before, new baby and responsibilities but I didn't feel any pressure. Those things are all hindsight now. I just need to know there's hope to get my life back, my partner has decided I should move in with my father so we both get a break so I left today

Hi, I have been feeling very similar and wishing I could go to hospital to be safe and cured but have had some acupuncture and cranio sacral therapy and am trying to stay calm whilst confused about all different advice re meds from different drs-are you taking anything at present? I wish you well x

[celt34]

I've been given new meds and something to help me sleep and mental health team assessed me and will contact me again on Tuesday. Just hope these meds lift me mood and help anxiety. Thanks for all your replies
