I couldn’t put my finger on what’s been wrong for the longest time. I’ve had issues with mental health for a while and now so many other symptoms have got worse:
- I’ve been bloated permanently for around 8 weeks, and gained weight on my tummy, arms and thighs. I feel gross all the time
- My face looks so round and puffy, looks fat
- I’m soooo beyond tired all the time, taking naps and coming across as lazy
- My hair makes me cry, it’s so thin and gappy and doesn’t grow. My eyebrows don’t grow either and are so sparse
- I keep waking up at 4am every morning
- I’ve felt soooo far from myself and haven’t been able to put my finger on why. I have brain fog and an emotional all the time
I’ve finally figured out it could be my thyroid and the GP isn’t keen to test t3/4 so I’ll be demanding this.
But every symptom is ruining my life, I’m constantly complaining to my boyfriend about how awful/fat/not myself I feel and look. He’s adamant that I “look no different” and “just as beautiful” but I KNOW I do. I’m always then tearily apologising for “always being negative” and “I don’t know what’s wrong with me”. He says I’ve never spoken worse about myself.
I feel like I’m a constant drain of energy and mood, I don’t feel like I’m functioning normal and I’m so sick of it.
Could it be thyroid? I’ve had normal blood levels in the past. I’m so so so sick of feeling this way and can’t get out the rut of constantly being upset/down
