Well it's 4.16am and I'm wide awake crying yet again!this time I'm convinced the cat is going to die soon..I can't put up with this for the next 5 plus years.spent all last night crying with my 13 year old....constantly feel like I'm due on but 5times worse....just can't stop crying and thinking depressing thoughts...is this normal?😢😢😢😢
Hello Lizzy, you are very normal. Just think you are one more day through this. I hope that you slept during the night. Make sure you nap throughout the day too! Lack of sleep makes you feel worse. It is almost bedtime here. Im another day out of this too! Try to find something to relax you right now, a book, some warm milk or warm decaf tea. You will feel better soon. Please hang in there and try to breathe. Praying for you!
Hi lizzy, it is normal for brief period of time, how long is brief? It took me a year to stop crying, but during this phase after you stop crying it can come for a day or two and not show up for another 6 months or a year.
Maybe you should consider some form of HRT or antidepressant, if you can to mitigate these symptoms
So sorry Lizzie! Have you sought help??? As much as ppl dont like to take meds et, it sounds as if you may really want to consider this. I will keep you in my prayers!! 💕
Hi lizzy Marie yes this is normal it happen to me .I wenth to see a councillor she help me a lot , also had anxiety .l all so take HRT
Hope you find something that will help
Takeep care
Paula
What HRT do you take?
I am praying for you
Thanks all.im not on hrt...don't really want to go down that route it scares me x
ditto paula im the same i dont take hrt though but thats through my choice i am on a/ds and i use a lot of natural remedies
yes my love unfortunately i went through three months of crying every day nov to feb I have been doing ok but i recognise when i am going down again its not a nice place to be and im grateful i get to see my CBTtherapist today
Hi Lizzy. Thinking of you. I often feel like you. I have finally seen a psychiatrist and am taking some anti anxiety meds. I think our bodies go through so much and it affects us in so many ways. Physically, emotionally and mentally. Try to relax. Advice I can give our and not take myself. You are in my thoughts and just take one day at a time. Xo
Hi lizzymarie, I used to have periods of crying spells. I found them very disruptive. I went to the doctor, started taking low dose HRT. I rarely have those episodes now. Thank goodness.
Sue, that's great that you "recognise" when you are going down again. that's part of cbt you know...... recognising your negative times/thoughts coming & trying to stop them in their tracks & deal with them rationally. "recognising" those times/thoughts is key to start on the path(cbt again) of your own strength to actually CHANGE those thoughts & stop them overriding you into worse anxiety. Its a great step forward for you with your longstanding anxiety. xxx
You are so right looloo. If we can recognize and stop the thoughts...somehow through all of this I feel God is strengthening my faith through each situation I face. One day at a time it is. And sometimes an hour at a time
Hey Lizzy. I think most of us on here can relate to how you are feeling. This is the only place i feel comfortable talking about all of this. It has truly been a blessing. Everytime I start struggling I just come here and there is always someone who has words of encouragement and understanding. It is hard for people to understand things that they can not see. I hope you start feeling better soon. ((Hugs))
Hi Michelle I take prempak -can 1.25mg/0.15mg coated tablets
Conjugated estrogens and norgestrel that is what the doctor gave me
Paula
Yes, i have always been a "natural" worrier, but through age, tough times, & eventually cbt just over 6yrs ago, i am now very good at not "what iffing" & getting myself into a tizzy of anxiety. it takes alot of practice, but eventually becomes normal behaviour. i have been ill & off work for months with other health problem, & the not "what iffing" & adopting the 1 step at a time/thinking no further about what might or MIGHT NOT happen keeps me sane in the face of alot adversity at present. all the best to you 2chr.......xx
