I've had wobbles in the last three years. It came from having child number two. Having a toddler and being pregnant with morning sickness (all-day quease) feeling weak and exhausted I panicked. I found myself feeling lonely and the only way I could see people was to put on a brave face and go out. It was hard. I ended up nearly passing out a mile away from home and after that I just felt anxious. .
After my son was born I noticed I felt less outgoing and more sickly and weak. I struggled to enjoy and relax. The drs said it was anxiety. But then bloods came back very low iron! My daughter started school and I did the school runs for 5 months. I felt good. But in February I didn't feel well for a week. The Dr confirmed I was anemic again and I rested for a couple of weeks. He gave me the mini pill which made me bleed for weeks. Then two weeks ago I found out he had forgotten to tell me I needed vitamin D. I've been put on a high dose last week.
But I just have noticed I'm so unsettled. I struggle to fall asleep. Then when I do I wake up for ages. This repeats all night some nights. I feel a knot in my stomach and weak if I need to do something.
Today I've got blood tests. So it was typical that the kids didn't sleep great. I couldn't settle. I had broken sleep. Now I feel down and sickly. I think it's because I'm anxious about going for the bloods. Not because they bother me. But it's the first time I've had to go out in lockdown. I am not worried about Coronavirus. I'm worried about feeling weak and sick when I'm there and wanting to run away.
Has anyone got any relaxation tips or videos they can suggest? I'm terrified I won't be able to get back to normal.
