An All Over Negative Feeling

[Alock2020]

I've been having an "all over negative feeling", and I can't tell whether it's the Parkinson's, depression, anxiety, a combination of two or all three of these causes, or something else. It's as if my brain is feeling increasingly burdened by the rest of my body.

It may just be a continuation and redefinition of the "mind-fog" that I get during down periods. Also, I've managed to alienate my "support group", so more fear is added to the mix.

Isn't it wonderful how this disease takes over one's life? It's a powerful lesson in humility.

where are you located? Is it winter? If so get a sun box light and use it first thing in the morning

I wish I could say something to make you feel better...

It is hard when this condition assails us in so many ways, physically and mentally.My suggestion would be try to keep active, tough though that may be, and get your Parkinson's specialist to review your meds.

Good luck!

In recent weeks I also had a negative feeling, didn't feel like doing anything, passive and a lot of sleepiness during the day. Because I don't use Levodopa yet (a neurologist doesn't think it's necessary yet), I started with mucuna, but that had no effect on my mood. Then I tried melatonin and it worked very well for me. That is my experience with 2 weeks of using melatonin, almost no more sleepiness and much better mood. I use 5 mg just before going to bed.

Is developing a resistance to Melatonin, so that one has to take more and more of it, a problem?

[Peter-Jan in reply to Alock2020]

I've read that you shouldn't continuously supplement melatonin so that your body keeps the impulse to produce it itself. In the meantime I don't use it as often anymore because my neurologist thought I was ready for levodopa now.

I hope you get some relief and feel better. This disease takes a toll. Are you taking anything for the Parkinson’s or the associated pain etc? It turns out my doctor put me on gabapentin. This had a trifold effect on me: pain relief, numbness and tingling reduction and a mood elevator. I know we’re all so different and something works for some and not others but I might inquire with your doctor. I say that and then I think, pills, pills, pills with all there side effects and toxicity but we are just playing with balancing for ourselves and our own individual needs. What a tricky weird position we are in, trying to find the right cocktail of drugs, supplements, food, exercise, sleep,………

B supplements and B12 in particular seem to have a great effect on my mood. hope it helps!

It sounds to me as if you are not concentrating on what you are doing!

If you are concentrating on each movement you take then you stay focused and you have no problems moving.

You can't get negative if you are concentrating on what you are doing. It is not possible!

CONCENTRATE on everything you are doing and your mind is focused on what you are doing and not being influenced by anything else!
