Horribly wrong

[Zelda123]

It’s all gone wrong. I’m eating everything I shouldn’t and I was so focused. All down to more health problems and suffering anxiety.

I had a melt down at the emergency centre where nurses had to console me.. I’m absolutely sick of one thing after another and what do I do.. I eat chocolate cake all the things you shouldn’t.. and have put my weight back on..

the only redeeming thing is I see mental health next month and a chronic fatigue specialist to get the the bottom of my problems..

I feel a failure but my mental health isn’t good.. I blew 90 quid gambling, I nearly lost my temper with next door over there bloody music.. I didn’t sleep for a week worrying over another health concern.

Eating right is so hard for me I’m so impulsive right now.. roll on when I can start my new meds

I often feel like that - eat everything I THINK I want when I feel down and then regret it later and have a total sugar come down. I need to remember how it makes me feel before I put all those foods in my mouth!

Do your meds normally suppress your appetite?

I’ve got bipolar which is un medicated I see someone 17th of June to get some new meds. I’ve not been well. My thyroid is going under active I’m 2 points from needing thyroxine.. I feel awful.. not just that I had a bad Monthly cycle which the dr thought was a early miscarriage.. I stopped bleeding and the. Started again.. so I had to go see a GP at emergency walk in.. she examined me and was rough with me and hurt me more.. the next day after a night of violent thoughts I went to get tested for STD’s to rule everything out and I just lost the plot.. I’m absolutely knackered right now.. everything has gone out the window .. I’m impulsive but the one redeeming feature is last time I was manic I drank for 3 months solid and ate anything and everything.. was awake till 5 am sleeping through the day .. so I guess it’s good that I’m not doing that ..

Sorry to hear about everything you're going through Zelda and I hope the specialists that you're going to see can help you make some progress.

I was wondering if the Daily Diary that we use here could provide you with some of the stability that you may be hoping for. We write down each day what we're going to eat, we see what others are eating and receive constructive feedback.

It's been working for me and maybe it can help with your current compulsiveness if you can follow a plan each day.

Wishing you all the best.

[Zelda123 in reply to Tiggerr]

The daily diary is that like a food diary where you list the foods you eat ?

[Tiggerr in reply to Zelda123]

We list the foods we eat but in advance. Have a look at today's...

Hi Zelda you are going through a tough time. Tigger's suggestion is good. Why dont you come on here and chat and get some support when you feel like eating. Wishing you well.

Hi, Zelda

I'm sorry to hear that your feeling so awful at the moment, but believe that things won't improve until your underactive thyroid is optimally medicated. Chronic fatigue, weight gain, depression and anxiety are all classic symptoms of hypothyroidism.

I really hope that you're able to get things sorted out and that you'll feel better soon.

[Zelda123 in reply to moreless]

Thanks I need to get these health problems managed.. I can’t go on like this

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to Zelda123]

I agree entirely!

[lucigret]

Zelda the video moreless has put here is long but well worth watching. You may find it cuts out a couple of times. I looked it up on YouTube and it plays through with no breaks.

Wishing you all the best 😊

[Zelda123 in reply to lucigret]

Thanks 😊😊 il look at it when I can concentrate at the moment I’ve got this burning pain all over .. the nurse thinks I’ve got fibromyalgia.. il have to wait and see what the specialist says in Liverpool next month

[lucigret in reply to Zelda123]

I sincerely hope that her diagnosis is wrong.

Having suffered with depression and anxiety, I know how ill it can make you feel. You can end up with pain all through your body. Although I don’t eat a ketogenic diet, I do embrace low carb high fat and have noticed a huge difference in my mental state.

Take one day at a time, be kind to yourself, don’t talk about being a failure, you are worth the effort you have to put in to recover 😊
