A lot has happened in the past two years. I've dealt with homelessness quite a lot. My partner of seven years has lupus and his kidneys failed about a year ago. He refused treatment and gained 70kg of exces fluid. He told me to say goodbye to him and that he'd rather die than do treatment. Since then I have not been the same. While my partner was in hospital my dog got out and attacked the neighbors dog. It was five minutes of terror. I had no energy to get my dog. My sister was with me she had a cast on her arm. If she wasn't with me I wouldn't of been able to seperated them. When I got upstairs my sister noticed that I had peed my pants. I immediately went in to a panic as this scared the hell out of me. Since I have experienced constant sweating. I have to change my top atleast 3 times a day. Maybe even shower 3 times. I have no appetite. I'm 24 yo female and pretty skinny. I lost my house last week I have moved in to a share house. I feel very unsafe. I've had a tight chest for the past two days, my muscles ache and I don't feel well. I'm really in a bad way. I made a doctors app for Tuesday. I'm not sure how to handle this. I also experience sleep paralysis almost every night. Sometimes several times. I wake up more than 5 times a night in shock. I feel like I'm losing myself

    Aw bless you Ashley, you have been through the mill! Is there anyone you can ring to perhaps come and spend a few hours with you for some support? Also have you been to the GP?

    Because I have had to move my GP is quite far away but I have booked to see her on Tuesday. It has gotten to the point where I can't drive in a car with my friend because I'm constantly jumping and thinking we are going to crash. I'm a wreck I'm really trying to hold it together. Do u think I should wait till Tuesday to see dr?

      Hi Ashley.

      What is happening to you didn't happen over night. It's a build up of stresses that seem to have been going on for a long time and personally I think the dog incident was the straw that broke the camels back,so to speak. 

      Please see your doctor as soon as you can. You are dealing with so much on your own and just having his support will be a big help to you. I am so sorry for your circumstances. Life can be so harsh on us at times but it can get better and will with the right treatment xxxx

      I think if i were feeling the way you are i would want to see the doctor right away... Just so that i can start my recovery now. There is no point suffering any longer than you have to is there. We all know what you're going through as we have been there, in my case, only lierally a month ago, but there is light at the end of the tunnel, but yiu have got to ask for help

      Thanks so much for your reply Gillian. I really appreciate it. I am feeling lost in more ways than one but I am a fighter. I'm not the type to give up and your words give me hope. Another thing that has rattled me is about. Month ago I found out from my Aunty that my dad isn't my biological father. Apparently my dad doesn't know. Apparently my biological father doesn't know. My mum wants me to fly to NZ so she can tell me everything. In the state I am in I don't think I could get on a plane. I always had a feeling so when I asked my Aunty she was very shocked, it's a lot for me to take in, I suffered as a chile with custody battles. My mum put my dad through hell over child support. I feel like there's a massive elephant in the room everytime I see him now. And I feel like I'm burdened with this secret and I don't know what to do about it. I'm sorry if this is all a bit much

      My dr. Is free on Tuesday. I will try wait it out till then. If not I think I'll seek medicinal assistance. Mental health isn't always regonized with nurses and doctors. A lot of people don't get it that are in my life and I've noticed that some doctors don't seem to believe it. I discussed sleep paralysis with my counsellor he couldn't tell me anything about it. It was almost like it was news to him... Thanks so much for your reply it really helps me feel better

    Oh Ashley you have been through so much.  I am so sorry.  This has been a very stressful period for you so it is not surprising that it has affected your health in so many ways.

    I do hope the doctor will be able to help you.  Let us know how you get on.  Keep us updated.

      That's a really great attitude to have, and it's very true.....when i forget that sometimes my mother always says her favourite saying to me "there's some for everyone!" It puts a smile back on my face x

    it sounds like you are out of your comfort zone in the shared house.  And I am sorry to hear about your partner. It must be awful.

    I hope things improve for you and him
