Suicidal all the time

[NooNooHead1981]

I have various health issues, some of which have become worse since having my third baby 7 months ago.

Involuntary neurological movement disorder, narrow angle glaucoma, gum disease, constant anxiety about everything. I am probably depressed too. I know that none of these things are life limiting or threatening but they are draining me of the sheer enjoyment of anything in life. I feel in constant pain.

I am physically, mentally and emotionally tired of everything but can't leave my 3 beautiful children.

I am so scared and feel so alone.

I am a bit OCD... I can't distract from the odd feeling in my gums. They feel sensitive but maybe I am overbrushing etc. Still get awful saliva but she said flossing can stimulate salivary glands although I get it after I eat and even just rubbing my tongue against my teeth.

Hygienist apparently said the scale and polish should have been enough to help...

God knows why I am like this

You need to contact the GP. Have you done so?

Not yet. Will phone on Monday and ask for advice x

Good luck OP. You need the anxiety side of this dealt with.

Thank you... Contacted gum specialist about treatment xx

A gum specialist? Please please, this is not about teeth. See a GP ASAP.

Have you contacted the GP yet? You won’t be better until you deal with the anxiety side of this.

I know it is more than about teeth + gums, and probably anxiety is certainly the root cause of this.

I am having online counseling and have started hypnotherapy for anxiety but the thing about a lot of the anti anxiety and antidepressants are that they can exacerbate and cause the movement disorder that I have. It does make sense to addtess the anxiety, I agree.

The gum issues haven't gone away in the past month, if anything they have become worse. I am not sure leaving it is going to help it improve.

So speak to a GP or specialist about medication that won’t exacerbate the problem. Hypnotherapy alone won’t cure this.
