Hi everyone
I have not been on here for a long time and hoped that anxiety had buggered off but no it is back again!! I am struggling to cope with things at the moment :mad:
In a nutshell my problems I am struggling with are:
My 18 year old son left home eight months ago and refuses to see me or speak to me. I know he is safe as with his dad but obviously this is upsetting.
I have been diagnosed as Diabetic recently and told to lose weight.
I have fatty liver disease and again need to lose weight.
I was told before christmas that I had skin cancer, so had to chew that over through the holidays, only to go back after and the GP reviewed the lesion and thought it was benign and to watch what happened. Yes I was relieved but it sent me on a spiral down to misery!
I have horrible digestive issues and the doc is sending me for a colonoscopy and endoscopy....nice!! They think it might be inflammatory bowel disease due to blood loss and pain, I am hoping for piles!!
I have developed a new and annoying problem and that is a tight throat and swallowing issues, food like weetabix is sticking in throat. Dry food mainly. Can this be just from stress? I have read a few posts and people do seem to suffer with this??? I have been suffering from muscle twitching for some time now and then with swallowing trouble I am thinking it is some kind of vile disease like Motor Neurone etc. I am not in good shape mentally at all !!
I spoke to the GP about being anxious and depressed and they basically said to see how I go and that anyone dealing with these problems would feel the same!!! I was on mirtazapine for a few years but have been "clean" ha ha for 18 months or more, so don't really want to go down the hold meds route again.
My eight year old is not sleeping well she is waking four times a night with nightmares and so I am not sleeping, as a single parent that works full time it is a struggle! Also, not sure whether she can pick up on my black mood and that I am causing her bad dreams, poor love looks shattered too.
I am also completely fed up with the snow in the UK, it stresses me out!!
Can anyone relate to this throat thing and have any words of wisdom on coping with this bucket load of issues.
Thanks
