Hi, I have'nt posted for a while but my anxiety is on the increase again. Since having an upset stomach on Monday evening I was struggling to pass anything but very small stools. This was happening until last night when I had full on diarrhea. I wasn't too stressed as i'd had a very greasy meal for tea yesterday so put it down to that.
This morning it happened again, 3 times in 4 hours! My stomach feels very delicate now. I have been under huge stress lately as my 33 year old son has severe mental health issues, bpd, adhd, narcissistic personality disorder and he also has type 2 diabetes and fybromyalgia. For the last two weeks his mood has been extremely low and he has been feeling suicidal. He had an emergency appointment with a psychiatrist who told him to get more exercise and that he will see him in 6 months time!!
On Tuesday he cut himself badly on his finger with blunt scissors, he told me if he had a sharp knife he would have cut his finger off. After being attended to at hospital he came to stay with me. Two days later he cut himself again, this time much worse. When I arrived at his house there was 3 police cars outside. They had to attend as there was'nt an ambulance available. The police had dressed his hand but he had lost a lot of blood and was very weak, unable to stand and had no colour in his face, his lips were grey. At the hospital they found his blood pressure was very low, his heartrate was high and his oxygen levels were on the floor.
He had to be transferred to a hospital half an hour away to see the plastic surgeons as they suspected nerve damage. I spent 8 hours in 2 different hospitals with him and didn't get home until 3am. I had nothing to eat in this time. My son had a 3 hour operation on his hand and came home with us last night.
I'm thinking the stress, heavy meal last night and erratic eating patterns are to blame for my current upset stomach but the anxiety wants me to believe it's something else.
Sorry for the long post but it helps to get it all doen.
