Had anxiety for the past 6 years now but it's suddenly just spiralled last week when I had to leave work as I was feeling pretty anxious, now I feel so down and depressed it's unreal- had the butterfly feeling in the pit of my stomach since Friday, can't sleep or hardly eat!! Keep waking up through the night with my legs trembling and thoughts racing though my head then I can't stop thinking about how am I going to get through the day and will I feel like this all day then I panic I'm going to b like this the rest oft life/
Vicious circle I know! Does this get better? Got doctors tomorrow and I'm asking for meds which I've never had before as never needed but now I think they are well and truly needed for me 2 function :-S or feel happy again x
Hi Jinty.
Has there been a trigger for the onset of these probpems?
I have spent the past months in the same state and I think triggered by a very stressful job and the loss of my mother last January.
I also sought advice from the GP however, I have not persevered with anti depressants did not get on well with these.
You have done the right thing to make the appointment and I hope you feel more informed after this.
Anxiety and panic attacks are distressing and disabling and it is very difficult to keep down a job with intrusive and obsessive thoughts.
Let me know how ot goes with the GP.
Thanks Christine I don't know tbh I've just been getting really stressed in the house with house work and my partner doing nothing but be a lazy lump on the couch when he comes in from work, I make all the dinners, all the cleaning, washing, (occasionally when I ask he will do stuff cause I'm moaning) and for the past three years he has had a cocaine problem which I knew about when I first started going out with him but, wasn't like everyday but every time he was drinking and it started really getting to me then he started bringing it into the house, I have a daughter of 6!! I went mental and my anxiety would hit the roof to a point I was that disappointed and angry I couldn't breath, he was lying saying he had stopped and that it had been 6 months etc but just November there I'd found out he'd done it again- even when he wasn't doing it I was paranoid and checking pockets and his phone as when we first started going out he was texting something else and that was a year. Never really got over him doing that etc!! My work at the mo we just have 2 much to do and not enough staff. Constant backlogs of work which is worrying and stressful!! Just not been able to shift the butterfly feeling in my stomach since Friday and it's worrying cause I can't even think happy and b happy. Well I have a wee up and then my head says nope feel crap again!! Horrible anxiety xx
Hey I have been there too.
If he taking Cocaine you need him gone as you cannot have a relatiosnhip with anyone taking substances.
Cocaine makes people so unpredictable and if he is lying yo are stumped.
You should not have it in the house which you of course know it is a Class A drug and your child will be at risk of harm and distress due to the unpredictable nature of your relationship.
Get teh stress out of your life and out of your daughters as fast as you can.
xx
