Re: Feeling down with these symptoms :(
Hi hon, I'm sorry you're feeling so down and poorly
You and I seem to be very similar, I know how you're feeling. My ibs is all over the place right now too, and I keep feeling acidy and sick. Only last night I asked my husband if I could be heading for a breakdown, it's really scary. I keep crying, I've been going back to bed (HATE doing that and have managed to fight it in the past).
I've been having trouble with bad pain in my pelvic area, some back ache, irregular bleeding, deep dark depressive moods, then a 4 day migraine to finish me off. Oh, and then last night pain, acid and felt very sick again
In my case, I keep trying to convince myself it's stress and hormone related. I have always eaten very badly (mainly sugar) and that has caught up with me. My hormones are all over the place - age related as well as now having reached 2 years with no synthetic hormones to help regulate me (hysterectomy September 2010). Being 'all natural' really doesn't suit me - and I really do think my ovaries are struggling now.
Of course, there is the depression and anxiety that I have suffered with for over 20 years...
I KNOW that antidepressants will help me, they have helped before, but I'm too scared to start them while I already get bouts of nausea.
You are not alone honey, just wanted to say that. I have decided I am going to try really hard to eat better, make time to relax, get some exercise and, very soon, start the pills again.
Please don't give up on yourself, if you have no-one to talk to in person you can always come here - I think it's been a life-saver for both of us before now
We have to MAKE our lives worth living, and we can
