Please help

[LCM83]

Please help. This anxiety episode came out of the blue on Easter Saturday and it hasn’t gone away. I’ve barely eaten since then, I can’t sleep. I had a psych appointment on Friday but she’s not available again for two weeks. The first Psychiatrist appointment wasn’t available until 17/05. I had trouble sleeping last night. It hurts so much. My poor husband and children, they deserve so much better.

Hi LCM83,

Wellcome to one forums.

I understand anxiety can be difficult to deal with Im sorry you are experiencing it.

Its not your fault you are experiencing this it happens to a lot of people your not alone.

I understand that anxiety can cause distress.

In regards to the anxiety hurting you do you mean this in a physical sense?

Have you been able to speak to your husband about the way you are feeling?

We sometimes feel we can’t give our all to our families when we are experiencing anxiety because it interferes with our daily life…….. we usually have so much going on inside our minds when we are experiencing anxiety so it’s hard to eat and sleep sometimes I’ve experienced this also.

I have a lived experience of severe anxiety OCD I’ve now recovered thanks to the professional help I received.

Im glad you are receiving professional help, if you feel that things are becoming distressing for you please see you gp and let them know how you are feeling.

Practice slowing down your breathing

Meditation also really helps with anxiety.
