Feel like I’ve lost my mind

[Lookingforpizza]

Struggling with general anxiety and stress at the moment. I spend a lot of time crying, sometimes from the overwhelming anxiety, sometimes over nothing and sometimes over something very minor.

I don’t feel like I’ve got control of anything and trying to rationalise with myself isn’t working.

I’ve got an appointment with a GP shortly, and I think I will be signed off work. I don’t know how much longer I can go in to work and excusing myself to cry in the loos 4-5 times a day.

Not sure why I’m posting just need a bit of a hand hold really, this all seems to have come out of the blue and I’m worried how I’ll explain this all to GP as I’ve no reason to feel like this...

No real help but I’m feeling exactly the same. I really need to book an appt with my GP also. I hope it goes well. Have you a history of anxiety ?

@cinders29 sorry to hear you’re in the same boat, it’s so hard. I had depression/anxiety triggered by an abusive relationship but this was in my teens, I’m a natural worrier but it’s never gotten to the point where I’m crying over the slightest thing and feeling like I can’t cope with every day.

When is your appointment with the docs? Can you talk to her/him about talking therapies and medications?

I have been where you are now and it's hard to see a way out at the moment but please remember that you can get better, you can get back to normal and your not alone.
