Deep depression
Posted , 9 users are following.
Hello everyone.
I'm Michael.
I posted all once here. I found that it helps in parts.
Iv recently had a on set of health anxiety and depression. Continually think of death and nothing after death.
Strong thoughts of where do we go when do all living things go this followed all from a health scare I have doctors appointments in place along with councilling and currently on a short term does of diazepam 2mg 3x a day.
I'm find each day hard, I'm not been able to eat for 2 weeks only force feed Iv last 9lb in weight and scared the weight lose and not craving food is cancer and not anxiety.
Blood results come back fine that said. I'm also book for a ultras scan.
I'm finding talking to people is helping has anyone else or is currently going thought this, anyone close to Nottingham area.
Please I hope for a reply.

I don't live in the Nottingham area, but hopefully more people will see your post and respond.
I can reassure you that if the bloods were fine, you haven't got cancer.
Also, you're losing weight because you can't eat, due to anxiety.
I know this is hard to believe but anxiety causes all sorts of unpleasant symptoms and makes sufferers very frightened.
Counselling is excellent, and I'm very glad to see you've involved your GP and are taking a small dose of diazepam.
That shows that you have a sensible head on your shoulders, despite the anxiety.
You'll get better..............it may take a while, but eventually you will learn to control your anxiety, and not let it control you.
Love from Tess xx

Hi Tess,
Thank you so much for your reply, I'm glad to see people reply it really helps so much.
I'm 26 and don't understand where this come from or why. All I know is it sucks and I personally wouldn't wish this on anyone, I'm glad it's effecting me and not a love one.
I'm want to get better I'm scared if I stop worrying and forget that's when I'll get poorly.
I'm looking to try the fath route to help also. Currently I have no religion and slightly against it if anything until I seen spiritualist at a small church.
He told me my friend who passed way is here.
Mentioned his name and that he knows I'm poorly, not physically but seriously but around my head, and that it will get better. I'v never seen this man before now nor spoke with him.
He come to me and said he was being drawn to me becuase of out the room of 20 people I needed the reading the most, I went on my own no family member nor told a soul I was going to me I still thinking it's a trick but that's how I am.
It's made me look in to faith.
Thank you your reply to Jadie. I want to reply to people also but don't feel strong enough to help.
Iv lost a lot of weight, I'm 5ft 10 at 12stone 13 two weeks later 12atone 2 so 11lb lose I just don't feel like eating I'v been eating yogurt, breakfast shakes and apples. That's it sometime a dry plain biscuit, luckily I been gifted with sleep. My best part of the day is sleeping. Worst part is waking. I hate the mornings and thought of having to try and eat again.

Michael,
Please, please do not go back to the spiritualist. For part of my professional life as a counselor, I debunked spiritualists.
I absolutely believe in following faith...as well as your doctor's advice, and the good advice you have read here.
I am going to suggest that you see if there is a Unity Church near you. They are not the usual "religeous" hell fire and heaven group. It is a group of loving , caring people who believe in faith, hope, charity, love and living in a way that helps the world around us.
You might look for the Unity statement of faith...NOT Unitarian! UNITY. I believe they will bless you and help you.
Anxiety can cause more symptoms that you would believe. That is the hard part about anxiety...believing that those weird symptoms are ALL anxiety!!! As to eating, having no appetite is extremely common with anxiety. I am a cancer survivor. Believe me when I tell you that no appetite is not a cancer symptom, especially when all the other signs say anxiety.
You will get a lot of encouragement and good advice here. Whether you choose to believe it or not is up to you, but I guarantee, we have not all banded together to lie to you Sweetie Pie.
We have all been, or still are, exactly where you are now. Check out Unity.

Hi micheal
I've been going through really bad depression myself and I find speaking to people on here has helped. Unfortunately I'm not close to the Nottingham area. But I can't tell if my anexity or stress is messing my reflux up which is making me vomit. Good luck

Hope you're seeing your doctor about this, darling.
I'm a nurse and there are loads of different medications which help with reflux.
love Tess xx

As Tess mentioned, there are so things that can held acid reflux. From peppermint tea to a tablet called omeprazole. Omeprazole makes the acid in my stomach completely dissapear. I notice even if I don't take it for a day, my indigestion will come back.

Hi Michael. I have had anxiety to the point where I lost 15 lbs in about 2 weeks. I seriously was terrified I had cancer. When I go into serious health anxiety I can hardly eat and lose weight.
As for thoughts of death and after death.. I have placed my faith in God and I believe that for those who truly believe in Jesus Christ and obey His teaching; they can experience eternal life in a beautiful place: heaven. I don't want to shove this on you, but if you want to communicate on private email, feel free to contact me.

I did go on antidepressant for awhile years ago and a drug to get my stomach digesting properly again. Just recently, I again had a scare and again I had trouble eating some of the time. Thank God, my breast lump wasn't cancer. Try to eat nutritious foods and take vitamins to keep up your strength. I have recently started to take passionflower to ease my anxiety. It makes me drowsy so I like to take it before I go to bed. I usually sleep very well when I take it. It slows your mind down.

It's sounding like you need an anti-depressant, Michael.
Do not fear the scan appointment. The procedure is rapid and painless and you get the result right away.
MUST go on my night shift!
