How is everyone doing? I don't know what is wrong with me but I feel both physically and mentally unwell 🥺 surely there is a better way to live than this?

Has anything triggered how you feel?

hk1993x · 13/07/2024 19:40

No, the only thing that triggers me is the thought of being unwell but I have OCD also so it's a vicious cycle 🫠

That’s sounds difficult. Are you getting any help?

Hello, I’ve a pretty rough week mentally. I went to see a GP for the first time last Tuesday. I’ve always thought there was no point and it really did help. If you haven’t reached out yet, I definitely suggest you do! 💕

Yeah I'm under mental health services but they are so understaffed 🥺🥺

Feel like a massive burden to everyone.

Hi hk1993x, sorry to hear that you are struggling. I also struggle with the fear of being unwell. Not being well affects very aspect of my day, so I start getting anxious about if I'll be able to go to work or if I have a social event or something planned, I'll start worrying about how I will cope. I feel like a burden too, I need a lot of support and hate asking for help. I hate the impact my mental health has on others.

I'm feeling incredibly down. Funnily enough yesterday I felt amazing. Crashing hard today. Sad, defeated, thoughts of not wanting to be here.

Hi JamSandle, what's making you feel down? Sorry to hear that you are struggling today. Here if you want to chat.

I’m struggling at the moment too, you’re not alone.

Nature walks help me when I’m down, watching the bees and the wind in the trees.. can you get outside today and see some nature snd its changes.. if you have even moderate fitness, your local hill walking group will welcome you..

Hope you're doing a bit better today OP, please don't feel like a burden, you can't help being unwell Flowers.

As I've got older, I've found I suffer more with hayfever and SAD, so always feel a bit run down and unwell throughout the year, which in turn has a knock on effect on my mental health.

hk1993x · 15/07/2024 20:32

Unfortunately not any better, have an appointment tomorrow and think I need to go back on medication 🥺🥺

I think we all just need to hang in there, eventually it does get better. Doctors & meds can help, also therapy.

I've had lots of panic attacks and feeling very sad (connected to grief).

popandchoc · 23/07/2024 13:08

@JamSandle panic attacks are horrible . I had them a couple of years back . Hope you can find something to help .
