Hi Helen
Thankyou , hopefully this chill or whatever it is goes .. I’m still on bed wrapped up .. feel like have a head cold aswell .. but all could be connected

Sorry your feeling anxious & tired
Hopefully it passes and you have a fab time in Croatia
My holiday is December but gonna see how it all goes before we decide to reschedule or go

Hope you feel better in your self soon..
and I hope that tomorrow I wake up normal and not like I’m coming down with somthing ( wishful thinking )
I have heating on as can feel the weather as most definitely changed in temp

Would they check you again for Lymes Helen ??

[Suzysheep]

Well done Michelle. What a huge achievement!
I hope you haven’t caught anything! It could just be the pent up release of all the anxiety. The other week I had to go to bed feeling cold, but I was boiling hot… it passed after a few hours though.

Helen, I think it’s holiday anxiety. That can make you feel exhausted too… once you are there you will relax and enjoy it…. And you don’t need much energy to lay on a beach or by a pool!!!!

I have managed to do my back in. It’s agony. I did it this morning while retching over the sink whilst brushing my teeth. My gag reflex is so sensitive with the anxiety.
And there’s been another covid case in my sons class! X

[Michelle7474]

Hi Suzy
Hope your back eases soon …
Covid doing it’s rounds in the school… hopefully it skips your boy

I think this is just a chill with me & maybe a head cold as that’s how it feels , I did a test yesterday as to get into the working men’s club they required all to take a lateral flow one .. was negative & I did one at home today and also negative
But yesterday I couldn’t get warm at all so think it’s a chill & hopefully passes quickly , weather as definitely changed .. time to put away my flip flops hahaha

Suzy I do hope your back eases xx
Can you believe last day of the month tomorrow … I said today I’ve missed half of this year with all this going on … it’s mad xxx

[Suzysheep]

I hope you feel better tomorrow Michelle.

Yes, I feel like I’m wasting my life just trying to stay calm and get through the day.

I am noticing that come late afternoon/ evening I start to feel much better…. That’s happened the last few days. I don’t want to jinx anything though!!

Xx

Hi ladies,

How are you all feeling today?
Michelle, are you feeling better?

I have had a crappy morning, but feeling better now. Took the dog out, but chilled this afternoon ( as usual)
Xx

Hi Suzy
Glad your afternoon is getting better, it does seem that your anxiety is maybe wearing of earlier in the day than before.

I am still feeling very tired and tight chested with anxiety, but have been to work and managed ok, I too am always better in the evening.

Michelle hope you are feeling better

Gwen how are you today?

[Michelle7474]

Hello ladies

I much better today than yesterday but can still feel it slightly, hopefully by tomorrow I’m back to myself ( lol ain’t been myself for months )

Sorry you had another bad morning Suzy .. hopefully it all starts easing off quicker for you
Glad you had a better afternoon and chilled ( that’s my everyday )

Sorry to hear your feeling anxious Helen , it’s good you got out to work and cracked on .. I miss work and hopefully soon be back there..

I’ve done nothing today apart from usual clean up and relax trying to sweat whatever germs I have out
My sisters have come down with the same thing , so must have been the cold from door being open where we was sitting as couldn’t get warm all that day and evening .. can deffo feel the weather ad changed , I usually leave a door open for fresh air but today it’s stayed shut & even husband put heating on
Our summer as gone & winter is arriving

Hope you ladies are ok
Gwen did you get your results off GP hope all was ok Xx

[gm_thomson]

Hello ladies! I had a good couple of days with low anxiety. I did see the doctor yesterday and he informed me I am in unofficial menopause by looking at my hormone levels. Official menopause is 12 months no period and I am only at 5, but the hormones say I am unlikely to get another one. And the rest of the bloodwork and ultrasound was normal. No results from cardiologist yet though. Woot woot. That being said, I am still having flashes dizziness anxiety and all the other fun symptoms and he said those could last some time... no idea how long though.. months.. years... We discussed the anxiety and decided if I have another episode I should take Ativan (He gave me some pills to get me through it) and then start antidepressants. So for now I am going day to day and see how I am, and will see him again in 4 weeks.


Sounds like everyone was a tad better today? lets hope it keeps up! x

[Michelle7474]

Hi Gwen
Glad your results have all come back fine, it’s always a relief
Hopefully all other tests done come back ok also
Palpitations can be hormonal , so many suffer
Same as the aniexty and dizziness can be hormonal.. but hopefully it passes soon for each and every one of us
I used to get dizzy a lot .. ive not missed any periods yet .. so it does go to show we are all very different but can experience the same symptoms
I hope you have more good days than bad ..
Good that your doctor as done all above for you … some just wanna give antidepressants without even getting to route of the problem
Xxx

[Suzysheep]

Awful morning again. I seem to wake at about 5 with the anxiety rising. It’s so bad I vomit.
This seems to be the pattern at the moment…. Really bad mornings but better afternoons/ evenings. 
I’ve managed to take the dog around the block… but I just feel exhausted all the time with this. I think my body is just getting exhausted. X

[Michelle7474]

Sorry to hear you have had another bad morning Suzy
I woke up at 5 & then managed another hour .. not so much anxious but very jittery and nervous feeling just feel not me … I’m actually bored of it now

I cleaned up and showered and went to local shop and that’s about it AGAIN


Suzy I hope your afternoon is better and evening & one morning I hope you wake up and not feel the aniexty
We have suffered long enough now .. surely gotta have a break soon

Hope your ok Xx

[Suzysheep]

I’m glad you are able to get out Michelle. I feel like I’m regressing a bit… I’m getting too anxious to socialise and go out again. The weather has been bad so I can’t sea swim…. So I potter and watch daytime tv….. like you, I’m so bored of this now!!!

What week are you on now?
I’m coming up to 8 weeks in the next few days….. I read somewhere it took 4 months for someone to feel better… I am having a hard time accepting I could be like this for another 2 months!

To be honest I’d take jittery and nervous over the relentless anxiety I’m feeling!! Xxx

[Michelle7474]

Hi Suzy
Im on week 9
10 weeks Tuesday

Getting too much daily now , I just wanna start getting some normality back..
I understand what you mean about the anxiousness to go out , that comes daily with me but I fight it just to go shop .. whilst I’m out I feel it and just wanna come back home .. yet when I’m at home I’m bored shitless

Weather hasn’t been great here either .. & I still don’t feel 100% from the chill .. keep getting on and off sore throat but feels like my throat is dry then get like a slight ear ache ( I suffer with sinuses so could be that ) wish it would do one

I read on here that a few felt ok by 12 weeks .. I was praying that was going to be me aswell
I can’t believe that your AD haven’t helped you yet .. seems you struggling when those should be taking off the edge for you kinda thing

In honesty I feel much better than week 1, 2 , 3 ,4 … and then it’s like take each day as it comes as never the same but 100% better than the first month ( thankfully )
It’s the physical feelings for me .. the brain don’t work so much over time anymore but the physical feelings just keep coming back and that sets off panic
It’s just bizzare and horrendous..
what can we do , but ride it out and hope that we are lucky and this goes away ..

I have appitite back and I’ve actually put on 3lb which I’m thankful for as hated losing weight from this

One day Suzy … we will be ourselves again …. Sooner hopefully than later

Xxx

[Suzysheep]

Well I don’t know if they are helping..
Pros.
Noise sensitivity reduced to practically 0
Feeling better by the afternoon
Not as tearful
Not had any suicidal thoughts all week

Cons
Morning anxiety worse
Waking at 5 am ( I’m normally fast asleep until at least 7)
Morning sickness
Still no appetite

So it’s a mixed bag.

Michelle, you sound like you are doing loads better. You have come a long way. Every day is a step closer….

[Michelle7474]

So Your AD are working for the pros & Maybe the Cons is the patch and withdrawing etc

My sis in law as always suffered aniexty and in 2014 she went on sertraline and it kept it at bay for her
This year she as upped her tablet from 50mg to 200mg and she is still suffering ( hormones) and she is signed off work also it’s mad how hormones can do this to us when it’s meant to be a natural thing.

Are you gonna use HRT again ??
I’m gonna go as far as I can without
Obviously I’m still in peri .. so long way to go for me and I’m gonna ride it as far as I can without

I feel better as said and maybe I’m in a rush to get back to myself and do things that I always did
I will push myself a bit harder I think as I wanna just go out and do things without thinking this and that will happen
Work I miss but that’s always gonna be there when I’m ready .. but I really wanna start feeling me as I was

Let’s hope these next few weeks are the weeks we are waiting for.

Xxx
