Desperate

[Nikki360]

I am struggling so badly I can't actually believe how bad I feel my anxiety is out of control. Ive upped my meds to 40mgs Prozac doctor told me to. I'm taking diazepam and seeing mental health support today. I just keep thinking what it would be like to just go to sleep and not wake up. This is awful I can't see a way out my family are so supportive but this is a living hell. I'm convinced because my breast got bumped I'm going to get cancer and that because after it got bumped I went on a ride which will cause the cells in my breast to move about causing cancer. I'm aware this is irrational and a breast doctor has told me I can't get cancer from a bump but i can't get over this I need peace I can't keep going like this

I remember your post from last week op which I also commented on. I'm sorry to hear you're still feeling so bad and as said previously reassurance on these fears do not stop them coming. You need to challenge these thoughts, the minute it pops into your head you need to have a go-to phrase to repeat back to yourself, something you're comfortable with, along the lines of "my thoughts aren't facts but thanks anyway brain" or "I choose not to believe all my thoughts" etc and you must say this every time. Also try meditation with the help of a video on YouTube which also must be practiced for a short time every single day. Neither will help if you only do them 24hrs.

Thankyou for your reply I really appreciate it. It's all consuming at the moment and need to get to a point where I can think clearly if that makes sense. Doc has upped my 20mg of fluoxetine to 40mg so I'm hoping that helps and then in couple of weeks going up to 60mg. I have my faith and take comfort from praying.
