Thanks everyone for your support.

Feeling less anxious now, more just completely drained and energyless, Mum reckons I've been subconsciously worrying about Mercedes' op, and I was up at 4.30am coz she woke grumping with sore ears, but she's much happier this afternoon.

Hoping for a good nights sleep tonight and looking forward to escaping to Palmy next week.

Oh and the lovely Toni cooked dinner for us tonight, we are all totally grateful coz otherwise it would have been cheese on toast with the way I'm feeling. I lay on the couch for an hour this afternoon while the girls ran chaos around me coz I felt so blah.]]> Wed, 12 Sep 2007 20:41:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10652&PID=212481&title=anxious#212481 <![CDATA[Anxious. : Hey Emma, I just want to add that...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10652&PID=212422&title=anxious#212422 Author: Peace

Hey Emma, I just want to add that I get horrible anxiety around AF as well it is usually a drop in hormones. After my next pregnancy (which hopefully should be soon) I will be investigating into it further, I do have a prescription from the Dr but it is on an "If it's needed before pregnancy" (pregnancy safe drugs). I am actually looking into some homeopathic or hormone relief at some stage too.

It effing sucks, doesn't it?]]> Wed, 12 Sep 2007 19:46:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10652&PID=212422&title=anxious#212422 <![CDATA[Anxious. : hey emms.

I agree with Becks, Those horrible thoughts in your gut, i know them too well, it usually co-incides/pre-ceeds with a major burn-out happening.   Hope things get sorted with the bloods and the meds and the surgery.

Just join in with us, i'll call myself a crazy lady at the moment. Long story i'll let you know when you are here for dinner - you'll work it out then anyway.

But I have been reading up on Depression and Anxiety goes hand in hand with it. That feeling in your stomach is a big trigger sign.

Gee Emma, you put "don't expect anyone to read this" at the end!

That is a lot of things on your mind though. I have an idea how you feel, not as much as you but a lot of things have come crashing to a halt for us in the last month too. I guess with the money/parents thing it mightn't be a bad time to just check with them what they want to do. I mean, if the business goes downhill what will happen next and do they want to continue paying those things etc?

I'm sure getting a blood test would help out a lot especially with meds etc, so they know what's working and what's not - go on, get it done tomorrow while you're feeling "low". Then they have a strong image of what's happening inside ya.

Is your clotting also flashing you back to m/cs? It always does for me.

Anyways, big hugs!

I don't know how else to describe it. Just Anxious. This knawing ominous feeling in the pit of my stomach that makes me feel tight in the chest and really irritable. I've been like this all afternoon and I can't for the life of me put my finger on what triggered it.
I've had my meds changed once and upped twice in the past 6 months to try and combat the anxiety and after the last increase a couple of weeks ago I thought I had it nailed but today it's back with a vengeance.
I guess I have this scepticism about the meds from the start coz I can't stop thinking that the anxiety is a conscious state and because of my negative trains of thought, in which case how can medication fix that? It can't stop me thinking
The OCD thing is kind of under control, I have my moments and I still have certain things I *have* to do in a certain order or a certain way but I have relaxed a little and it doesn't spin me out as much as it used to when little things happen like the microwave reminder beeps.
As for the PTSD thing, it's still there lurking under the surface somewhere, my psychiatrist is 'gently nudging' me towards seeing a psychologist to try and work thru some of the issues associated with that but at the moment I'm not ready. I'm still having flashbacks and certain smells trigger me to feel almost nauseous.
Not sure what it is about today that is making me feel particularly bad. AF is here, and I've had some nasty and rather bad clotting that makes me think I should probably have a scan or a smear or both.
Mum and Dad are having money troubles. Dad's latest business venture is teetering precariously between securing a new investor and flopping completely which will mean they've lost $2.5mil, and they won't know till the end of the month, and another guy my Dad was in business with owes him $150k so things are tight there and I feel awful, and they pay Maya's preschool and my medical insurance so I feel like I'm contributing to their problems in a way, altho compared to my brother and sister who live their and constantly have their hands out I'm at the bottom of the responsibility pile.
Mercedes is having grommets put in tomorrow. More worried about having to get up at 6am than the actual surgery, it's so minor and should make a huge difference to her mood having the pain gone.
Blah. Big long ramble vent. Just needed to get all that down in one place so I can compartmentalise it and make it go away. Should ring the psychiatrist, he's going to want to know that the meds aren't working so well. But he wants me to do a blood test to check the levels of drugs in my system and I haven't done that yet
Don't really expect anyone to read this, let alone make sense of it, just processing all this stuff for myself.]]> Tue, 11 Sep 2007 20:18:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10652&PID=211817&title=anxious#211817
