For the last 3 weeks I have been unwell with kidney infection and finding it hard to eat even tho I am really hungry.. I have lost a stone in weight I can't get the mental block for food to go away and I am starting to get a panick attack writing this down.. I am going out of my mind please someone talk to me I feel like my body is shutting down
Hi
Hang on there. I feared eating too lost a stone over winter. Ended up called ambulance convinced of diabetes.. Had recurring uti as well yeast. I'm actually glad I went got all clear calmed me and at same time fear of travel turn out nothing. Coming back..I eat quite lot starchy meals to begin with. Realised no need worries, my weight stay same. IBS played its part making me paranoid. It gone within 2 day once I realised that as IBS. I used get nausea. Hospital anti sickness tablets real helpful last a week.. Bought ginger sweets as natural anti sickness use at time. I realised you have developed kidney infection... Find something do puzzles? Funny movies etc. Your body be fine. this worry will pass sooner then your feeling tell you.

If you have been ill and unable too eat, now you are ok. It may be you need to allow yourself to gain confidence to return to your eating that was before your illness. Be patient all hopefully will sort out and you will be ok
If this keeps going over a further two weeks, talk to your GP

I think i may have uti as well. Does anxiety can cause this? Because i've been in recovery from anxiety but this illness keep coming back. indigestion problem, uti, back problems. I jist want to be healthy
Thank you for replying.. I have been having health anxiety since my dad died 7 years ago some days I am ok then there are days I feel like I am dying especially when I am unwell.. my husband is really annoyed with it and gets very angry with me.. he tells me to talk more but when I do he gets angry and makes me even worse.. Feel like I am alone with it, doctor wants me to go on medication but I have a fear of relying on tablets and also my husband is very against them and very judgmental and when I am on a really bad day I think I really do need something to keep me sane.. i have "friends that say they are there for me but when I try to talk to them they tell me to give myself a shake or go see a doctor instead of talking to me bit yet the next breath they are wanting me to listen and talk about their problems.. I know I may sound really silly with all this but I have no one to talk to or get advice from the reason I started with this forum to talk to people who knows what it feels like to be this way
I am the same way.. anxiety is a horrible thing to live with it is very draining.. most days all I want to do is sleep so it will go away even tho I may not be tired.. if you suspect you have an infection go get it seen to.. I waited too long to get mine sorted and now I am in a worse state than ever the anxiety is overwhelming me
Hi
I understand about keeping sane. I'm sorry to hear your husband impatient. Remember he had no idea.. Thank god really. And we need accept anxiety is part of selfish inward fears..not us! But that it will try make us one. The more we see what it is, the less we unwilling to put up with such selfish thoughts trying pull us in. See it separately and it not you. It only burdensome, make you inward. Be angry with it considering it never you as falsely gave you that impression. Feelings fed off v thoughts run automatic by memory habits etc not really presently thoughts that is you. You decide take charge and teach your feeling to listen. It gonna rebels on you but with practice feelings end up listening to your words and reaction. Good luck. Start some projects whatever you like. I got myself flyers to post doors offer cleaning walk dogs just to do something worthwhile! Plus it so easy to forgot fears when had enjoyable goals.
I usually play video games to help settle my mind and body and it mostly usually works but lately I just can't get myself in the right frame to do it I put one on and I'm in a daze and still over thinking.. my back down my left side is really sore today with it and I can't get myself to calm down at all.. I am putting on a front with everyone pretending I am ok and have a smile around them just so they don't ask questions and starting to get tired.. my husband has cervical arthritis and in a lot of pain with it and is fighting through it and I feel so selfish feeling like this it is not fair on him I should be looking after and caring for him.. my mind is just in overdrive and can't shut it down.. he says I am not allowed to have anxiety and depression because I don't deserve it with all the things I do to help other people too good of a person to have it.. Thank you for taking your time to reply to me it feels better that someone is talking to me instead of it going round and round in my head
I used to play role game like drakesang. Often end up quite shaky, becoming inward tunnel like, only anxiety attack would do! Decided to stopped. I think it due to, along many factors in build up stresses, my insecurities play up with people role game. Disliked insecurities it left me with.
I think you should look for maybe counsellor. Ask doctor to put you on waiting list. Surely at least a friend is good begin there. I have two friends who there for me. Others I don't hardy mention it to. My sis wonderful support too. Actually I text her she don't respond..that okay! It just offloading. We both know that..so no pressure on her or mine to respond! I think while your husband may tries, he just not going get it. Just remember that so you don't get upset if he don't exalt get it. Anxiety really crazy enough for us alone to get! Yes the going round round thing in head. Can literally feel its presence at times. It a thing that search reasons any to grab give us something to latch. Im successful in this area now ignoring it more more now. It not issues. it the searching for one that the root problem. They call it free floating gad or what if worries. Find someone to talk outside your family.
Doc just giv you antibiotics drink plenty of robin sons barley water good for infections or cranberry juice I'v had a stone in kidney so good luck to you
