whats happening to me?

[gypsycrafter]

i just want to cry tonight. i feel so unhappy and alone all of a sudden. is this what acupuncture can do? I cannot even eat properly or get things into perspective.

[gypsycrafter]

i was alright till about 5pm then i started getting over the top about something and it has just escalated.

Hi Gypsycrafter, so sorry you feel so down. I think this could be the fibro cos I have had times like that, I can wake up feeling good and within a matter of hours I go down with a bump. I think Chris is right and it could be depression so it would be a good idea to see your GP if you are not already on antidepressants. It has happened to me even with the antidepressants though and then its time to either increase them or change them.

Try and get some sleep and hope you feel better tomorrow. Take care, Love Angela xx

Aw Gypsycrafter, so glad to hear that as we were worried about you. Hopefully you can get off to sleep soon and have a nice long rest so that tomorrow you feel much better. Just remember that old song "Always look on the bright side of life .....".

You know you have everyone on hear looking out for you, take care Love Angela xx

Hi Gypsycrafter, I go like this sometimes and i put it down to the fibro..You should defo talk it over with your doctor,and sometimes a good cry does us the world of good so if you feel like that its best to let it all go.One things for sure your never alone being on this sight..plenty of suport and ppl to share your illness with whom have mayb had the same experances as yourself.I hope you feel better in the morning,

Soft hugs

Sarah Xxxxx

thanks Sarah, feel better now. it was odd. you are right - always plenty of support here! everyone is wonderful, xxxx

[Hidden]

Morning Gypsycrafter,

Hope you feel much better now.

I would make a note of what happened, how you felt etc and when you can get in to see your GP, tell him. I say make notes because I have to cos always forget!

As everyone has already said, we're always on here and here for you.

Hugs Sue xxxx

[gypsycrafter]

I keep a diary when I remember (on instruction from specialist) and have written in what happened.(i forget stuff too!) I will also tell acupuncturist and gp. It was an odd feeling and not at all nice. Thanks Sue. xxx

hi Gypsy hun, i know how you feel hun,i was like it this afternoon,crying for no reason,fed up,bored and felt very alone. You really need to be firm with gp receptionist and insist on seeing gp tomoz hun,dont ever feel alone,we are all here for you and i find having a warm shower or even listening to some music makes me feel slightly better hun.

Having a good cry does sometimes help too hun,i hope you feel better hun and sleep well,big hug for you hun.xxx

[gypsycrafter in reply to julieann39]

i still think it had something to do with the acupuncture as it came and went so quick. some of these alternate therapies have strange effects on people. I had a wonderful relaxing sleep last night and feel refreshed this morning. at the time it was scary and horrid. thanks Julieann, i hope you are ok too. xxx

Hi Gypsycrafter. Acupuncture cleans out the system and for a few hours the toxins get into the blood before they are eliminated, so you usually get a rush of yukkiness until its flushed out (helps to drink lots of water after a session) it could be that it took you unawares and made you more vunerable to a panic attack or weepy session. Hope you feel better or more prepared next session, but its worth mentioning it to the acupuncturist, in case she can suggest a course of action. It is supposed to get better as you have more treatment and your body cleans and sorts itself out, but it may mean you are suscepable to depression as a reaction to this type of physical intervention. Accupressure is a little less invasive, but might be more uncomfortable at the time, and still may involve a cleansing after, but maybe not as bad?? XGlenys

[gypsycrafter in reply to Glenys]

i think the sneezing fit was part of the same thing. I am depressive anyhow but on medication for that and panic attacks. A friend is going to pick me up some arnica tablets this afternoon to help with this. I have usually got some remedy tabs with me but cannot find them. I will mention it too her, she may reduce the time. have had all sorts of alternate therapies over the years and this is the one that has made the most impact, so I am hoping this one will work! xxxx
