I can hear an angry shouting voice in my head and I'm scared

I was just feeding DD upstairs and it just came into my head. I couldn't understand what it was saying but it was angry. It's made me all shaky and panicky Help!

Start a thread, just incase . Have you told your family how you are feeling?

OK, I will. Haven't told them no, they'd either be skeptical or worried and I don't want that.

You should tell them. They are your family and they care. Maybe they can do something to help you and it will give you someone you can really talk to. Your mum should understand but they won't know unless you tell them. From the outside your life probably looks a lot different than it really is and they are only seeing small bits. You do need some support but you have to tell them because they won't know otherwise.

My mum is part of the problem tbh. There aren't many others, but they just wouldn't get it. They know I'm feeling down but I couldn't be getting into specifics with them, they'd just be embarrassed and change the subject. I don't want my dad to worry either, he already does enough.

I would try a counsellor through the GP. They are very useful and are a great help. I'm not sure how long you'll have to wait for an appointment though, it varies. Is dp no help either?

PhantomOfTheChocolateCakeAvena · 19/11/2008 22:07

what about his family?

Dp is fabulous, just don't want to worry him. He supports me as much as he can but is very busy. He knows most of what's up but not what happened last night. I'm too embarrassed tbh. His family live two hours away and MIL's health is poor so they can't do too much. I'll get by though

You have nothing to be embarrased about! I've found facebook good for getting in touch with people I have not seen for a while. There's groups on it aswell so you may find one that interests you. It's worth a look.

I'm on Facebook Avena. Don't talk to many people though. Ever so friendly, me!

I'm on facebook too! There's loads of groups. You may find one near you.

I'll have a look tomorrow. I have a lot of people from my old school on there but we're so different now it's a bit pointless.

PhantomOfTheChocolateCakeAvena · 19/11/2008 23:57

It's worth a try. It's a good idea to join a club to find like minded folk, at least you'll all like the same things.

gigglewitch · 20/11/2008 00:01

good idea avena.
For starters join the mn group if you just want to go on there for fun! Then maybe branch out?

CharCharGabor · 20/11/2008 00:02

Yes I'm on mn group It's one of my few groups. First I need to figure out what I'm actually interested in now

OP posts:
PhantomOfTheChocolateCakeAvena · 20/11/2008 00:05

Art? Theatre? Bet there's a book club. I'm in a group of pagan witches.

PhantomOfTheChocolateCakeAvena · 20/11/2008 00:06

I'm full of good ideas giggle!

CharCharGabor · 20/11/2008 00:08

I'll probably look for a book group or something. Just as a start. I'm off to bed ladies, this cold is nasty and has me exhausted all the time. And DD was mean and didn't let me have a nap with her today. Thanks so much for your help.

PhantomOfTheChocolateCakeAvena · 20/11/2008 00:09

You're welcome. Night.

gigglewitch · 20/11/2008 00:11

roffle at the chocolatecake being on a pagan witch group

Char, I hope you don't mind me suggesting something, but I have experienced something similar to what you describe.

Do you get headaches or migraines?
I get stress related migraines and if I have a really bad one I sometimes 'hallucinate', but mine are usually visual and I 'see' people.
It can be the first sign that one is comimg on, and I also get the 'whirring' feeling in my head.
I also get a panicky feeling when I am out that I have left the house undressed.

To help with remembering to take tablets, I got one of those things that is divided into days of the week, and leave it (safely) near the kettle.

It sounds like you are doing amazingly well under a lot of pressure and I really hope you feel more positive soon.

PhantomOfTheChocolateCakeAvena · 20/11/2008 00:13

lol! I'm on mn too, one from ds's old school for some odd reason, Hugh chicken dude's group and a couple of ones I got roped into.

gigglewitch · 20/11/2008 00:19

?
Avena if you fancy emailing me - addy on profile - a bit of a clue as to your name on fb (are you already in my friends list i wonder? I do loose the plot a bit with some mners)
