Anxiety support, Hand hold or chit chat come say hi #2

[Fairydust26]

Hi everyone this is part 2 as the original thread is full up! But as the title says this thread is support for all that are struggling and could do with a handhold and a chit chat so come and say hello😊.

How are you now? Can you call a Doctor or someone who can advise you on what to do?

Still can't walk. It's so painful. Think I'm going to have to go to a&e

How are you going to get there? Do you have any help? Wish I lived near you, I'd be over in a heart beat to help you.

Oh bippity
Assume you've tried icing it(frozen peas not frosting obvs)
I hope you can get someone to help you and it gets sorted.sending big hugs.xx

Any update Bippity? Are you in A+E?

Hiya, I was just at the minor injuries unit as I rang up nhs24. It was too swollen for them to have a proper look, so I have to go back next week once the swelling subsides. They think I've torn a few ligaments though. Bloody painful!

Thanks Iblinked It's ok. I had my DP here with me to help thankfully.

Yeah Stilivinginazoo I tried that, hasn't really helped

Been given crutches to help while it heals, although that will be a fat load of use to me. I think I'm going to be stuck in the house for the next few days.

Glad your DP was there. Yes you will be housebound, crutches and stairs not a good combination. Think of all the episodes of Jermey Kyle you get to watch.

Haha! I hate sitting about the house, I always feel like I should be doing something.

It's better today, just been taking paracetamol, which has eased the pain.

Oh, sorry to hear about your knee bippity . I hope the pain eases up very soon.

Thank you vikingwoman I managed to get out the house today and go for lunch, even though I had to use my crutches. It's been such a nice day up here, couldn't miss that!

Although I'm feeling very sleepy after that. Could easily go to my bed now 😴 So glad I'm on holiday this week!

How's everyone else getting on?

Seeing as today is WorldMentalHealthAwarenessDay I wanted to let you all know it’s okay to not be okay we’re all warriors! Big hugs to you all.

It's good you got out bippity. It was very warm here today. Calm before the storm apparently.

Fairy I am doing okay.
I am stress eating. Have to have an assignment in next Monday and so far I've written the word introduction. Lol.
It's only 2000 words so I should be fine...I hope.

Hello ladies may i join?

I have mild anxiety and am on sertraline for it. Recently i have been feeling more and more anxious, or overthinking so much it makes me anxious

So my husband has gone away on a course for 2days/nights. And after he left i just felt more and more anxious.
I have put lo (1 years old) in his travel cot in my room because i wanted him near me just incase (and also for company even though hes asleep!)
Checked all the doors at least 10 times.
Put my keys on the kitchen table incase we need to escape (i never do this)
And am laying in bed worrying if hubby will get there safely and then thinking what id do without him.

So all in all driving myself nuts 🙁 i know its daft but i just cant shake it.

Sorry for the long post

Welcome mummatomunchkin
I find changes in routine can make me more anxious,and nightime are always worse (I think in my mind everyone but me is sleeping and I'm trapped at home with kids in bed - that might just be my special kind of crazy logic)
Bippity ouch.my youngest damage ligaments in her finger couple weeks back.uts much better now but she's pretty robust with pain and found it very uncomfortable first few days

Fairy thanks for that,day I've had I more basketcase than warrior!!(D's has been in overdrive with his anxiety and I'm exhausted)

Iblinked good luck with the assignment!🍀

Thank you fairy - same to you .

Hello mumma I understand the over thinking as I am guilty of it as well. Mornings are worst for me as the impending weight of the new day gets me nervous. My anxiety and depression are sort of linked, which may better explain why I find mornings hard.

Sending positive thoughts for a better day to zoo tomorrow. Shall be thinking of you

Hi mumma

Stilllivinginazoo My knee is still quite stiff. I can walk, well limp mainly, and I have to be really careful when I sit down and get up or I'll get a sharp pain. The swelling has gone down. I would actually go as far to say yesterday was more painful than my back to back labour! Although maybe not as painful as the abscess I had once in my tooth. That's a joint first with my knee. I've been through a lot

bippity I had a back to back labour for second birth
Also had abcess on tooth.both bloody excruciating.shows we made of tough stuff

Sending positive calming vibes for all

Does anyone have panic attacks taking the kids to school it's my worst time of the day and I can't control it 😭

leanintymine was at pick up,playground full parents waiting used send me into a flat spin...I'm in final year of collecting children from primary and I know I will need keep challenging myself in other ways next school year or I may well become a hermit

Hi ladies! Sorry i didnt reply earlier, i read the messages at 4 in the morning and then completely forgot to reply 🤦‍♀️

Thank you for being so welcoming 😊

@Stilllivinginazoo i hate changes to my routine! Unless its planned (holiday) or something i am instigating then its not so bad.
I find nighttimes bad too, especially if my husband is working and the boy is in bed then im left to overthink. I had to make a tough decision this year and i am still living with the guilt of it and get upset about it. I hate it i just have to ride it out/ have a cry.

@vikingwoman its horrible isnt it? My sertraline has helped to a degree with the overthinking but it still plagues me.

The husband is alive, the house did not burn down/get robbed and the boy while being a handful is all good so i feel alot more confident tonight 😊 (though still going to curl up in bed when the boys asleep)

I hope you are all having a good evening

It's horrible isn't it? Stilllivinginazoo I remember on the Monday going into early labour, went straight to hospital, to only be told I was 2cm dialated. I thought 'What?! Are you kidding me? Is that it!' Was given a strong pain killer to help me sleep and sent home. Was sick on the way home, just opened the car door and threw up everywhere while everyone was on their morning commute and wet myself so dignified But I honestly didn't care at the time.

Went back in I think, 7 in the morning the following day as I couldn't take the pain anymore, and I had jumped to 6! I remember the midwife saying, wow, I'm impressed you got this far without any pain relief. Thanks Took two morphine injections and an epidural until my DS was born 24 hours later. Awful.

That's good mumma I didn't manage to get to sleep until about 7 this morning, my son had the flu jab on Monday and ended up being sick and quite poorly. He seems ok now though.

So happy it's Friday. Looking forward to the rest.
I was having a great day today until I went shopping after work. Halloween Stuff and Christmas stuff everywhere. I am a bit teary now. DS is still blocking me from his life. He used to live Christmas and Halloween.

I'm having a really rough time. Im in so much pain with my knee. Lost the plot last night as I thought the government were spying on me and felt very paranoid and suicidal. Texted a crisis number as I couldn't talk on the phone.

I had this earlier in the week where I thought I saw mice and spiders running everywhere. Then I saw someone standing on the side of my wall sideways, she looked liked the girl from the ring, but with shoulder length hair. She was only there for a second, but it really scared me. I don't know what's going on

I didn't go to CBT as I was scared and in too much pain to leave the house, so stayed in bed for the majority of the day. I never rang them to say I wasn't going, so now I feel like I'm going to be in trouble for not going, or they're just going to abandon me. I'm such a mess.

And my DP is angry with me because I didn't go. I feel so alone.

Bippity that sounds horrendous. So sorry to hear you are going through that.
