I'm not alone?

[Insomniac]

Hi everyone.

Found your site a few days ago. Nice to know other people have similar feelings.

I get dizzy, sick, BAD stomach (you know what I mean), suffer from IBS anyway - maybe that's related. I don't know. I'm a bit confused - nothing new there. Anxiety came on last year when going to Cornwall on holiday. It took about an hour to get in the car. I only went because my six year old daughter would have been sad.

Daryl (my husband) is VERY supportive. Don't know why he puts up with it really. I want it to go away but I don't suppose it will. Not sure where it came from...

Oh yeah, I suffer with depression too. On and off for last 11 years. I'm taking St John's Wort and Bach rescue remedy when having particularly bad day (and loperamide). Which does help. Guess I'm managing it. Its just that you think its gone away then it sneaks up on you again.

Sorry for sad intro - having a bad morning.

Glad you're all out there anyway.

Lisa.

Hello Lisa

Welcome to the forum..

I hope you'll find great support here and advices. Sorry to hear about your depression, that's nasty... depression can lead to anxiety and vice versa.
IBS is horrible..I have to avoid certain foods (dairy mostly), otherwise I get really ill [xx(].
I hope you'll feel better soon.

Thanks all.

Just logged on again. Nice to be able to talk and not get negative response. "Don't believe everything you think" - I LIKE that. Its something I have to remind myself often.

Just been to Sainsbury's with nausea and tight chest. But completed the shopping with Daryl's help.

Feeling much better this afternoon. I love this website. Makes me feel almost sane.... Ha ha!

Lisa. :D

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.

[Insomniac]

Thanks all. :D

Today started badly but got better as it went along. Slightly stressy about work tomorrow. Put my mask on and away I go.

Just knowing about this site is like having friends I didn't know were there. Reassuring me that I'm not losing the plot. And maybe there is hope after all!

Night all. Must sleep now. Not much sleep for last week or so... Tiredness makes me feel ill which makes me anxious in case I'm not just tired and the dizziness is anxiety... [:P]

Welcome along Lisa,

I'm glad you found us - since joining this site last February I have done pretty well and I hope you progress similarly.

Also good that you have an understanding partner - that's a bonus!

Don't forget we have a chat room, which can get busy and fun in the evenings!
