Burn out anxiety?

[MrsCplus]

hi!

First time poster!

I don’t know what I want to achieve with this post maybe just venting?

I have long term anxiety but recently it seems to have kicked up, I have a lovely family and a wonderful husband but I feel like he’s going to get sick of my crap eventually. I have no motivation to do anything atm. I am neglecting my house and appearance and even my health (putting off doctors appointments ect) I am just so tired but can’t sleep at night. The only thing that I care about is making sure my kids are well looked after but that’s all I can cope with so everything else is going by the wayside. My skin is shit, my hair is falling out, I have palpitations, dizziness, hot flashes. And I am so jumpy, like my nerves are shot.

I am just not sure what to do. A bit lost atm.

Are you sure it isn't symptoms of something else? I feel like this when I am anaemic, plus your hair falling out would be a symptom of that too. Maybe ask your doctor for a check on your bloods. Hope you feel better soon

How old are you? Some of your symptoms sound similar to the menopause. Don’t assume that you have to be in your fifties to be menopausal, you could be suffering with peri menopause. My daughter is only 27 and has been diagnosed with premature ovarian failure, it can happen at any age.

I’m in my early 30s but my hormones are always a mess so I wouldn’t be surprised. Should really book in with my GP I think. Thanks for your replies.

He won't get "sick of your crap" if you explain how you feel and what steps you are taking to get better. He will support you. Do go and talk to your doctor and think about what else you can do for you ( or for your whole family) such as better nutrition and exercise that might help to make a difference - and do it as a team. You've got this!
