It's all to hard sometimes

I as on here a month or so ago feeling really helpless, depressed and anxious due to health anxiety. I had got on top of things for a few weeks and felt on top of the world..... then it all come crashing down again! I cannot pin point as to why this has happened but I cannnot cope with this all again! All I want to do is lay in bed and sleep however my mind is in overdrive and will not allow me to sleep. I don't want to eat or socialise with people. The mornings are the worse for me as I don't know how I am going to get through the day.

hello Anntug, isn't it great when we finally get on top of all of our worries only to fall back into the black hole, that's when it hurts us the most.
Sometimes there may not be any reason why we fall back but it's when I think we are more susceptible in worrying what is going to happen within the next few days or so, a trigger point that you haven't been able to avoid, you can't blame yourself because if this happens then you will drop deeper and deeper into a pit of darkness.
Were you able to get help when you got on top of this by either medication and/or counselling and if so then that's where you should return, if not then you should book an appointment with your doctor who may then prescribe medication and refer you to a psychologist.
I know where you're sitting and want to help you, just as others will also reply back to you, and to feel the way you are now feeling is not pleasant at all, so please we welcome your reply back to us giving us just a little more information. Geoff.

Thanks for your reply. I am currently seeing a counceller and on medication which throws me because I thought the mess would keep it at bay!
