Hi,
I am new to this site but really I am at the end of my tether with trying to cope on a daily basis with my constant feelings of twisted nerves in my stomach, bad thoughts and problems getting to sleep. I just don’t know what to do or what can help me anymore.
I managed to bring myself off any meds a few years back and had CBT before that which didn’t do much for me (which may have been my fault). It’s so bad that I can hardly remember a time where I don’t have this feeling of dread and twisted tummy of nerves. It’s not all the time but its lots of the time and is getting worse, every day for hours at a time. On top of this I have bad thoughts about stuff and imagine things I don’t want to imagine and then worry about that too. I don’t want to go back to where I was before but I do feel myself slipping a bit at times and I’m so used to handling these feelings daily now that is normal but I don’t want to have to put up with it all the time.
This gets me so down, sometimes all I can do is switch off every thought and emotion and I just sit there like a zombie thinking nothing or doing nothing. It makes my girlfriend so sad and it’s so hard for her.
I know this is fragmented at best but it’s hard to say what I want to say….
