Sorry you are going through all this. I know all about anxiety and negative thoughts and what they can do to you. You will get better. I'm here if you need me.

I am no doctor, but if you are SURE this all began from a stomach ache, I want to say this:

Sickness bearing bacteria, parasites, virus, and fungus exude toxins which make us very ill. When we have too much of such a toxin, our brain is effected which results in a lot of what you describe .. extreme emotions for no reason, sleeplessness, too much sleep, weakness, etc.

There may be more to your situation, but from what you posted, I would suspect all this to be the result of some kind of low-grade infection that you will recover from in a few days. That is my reaction to your post.

think you need to start with a general practice doc, rule out anything physical that could be making you feel this way, like hormones out of balance etc. get a hormone panel done, and the normal blood tests. then if everything is ok with those tests, ask for a referral to a shrink. thats how i would proceed. good luck

Lack of proper sleep can result in your emotions getting out of control. I agree with the others that it may be a case of physical illness resulting in the sypmtoms that you are exhibiting.
Hugs!!! I hope you're feeling better soon!!!

I definitely suggest going to a general practitioner to see if there may be a physical problem that is causing this. If you've never been depressed like this before, and there is nothing stressful in your life that you can point a finger to as a trigger, it really is the only thing that makes a lot of sense.. to me. Most people don't just suddenly become all out of whack emotionally for no apparent reason...

possible hormones?...pregnant?

thanks so much!!!....i didnt mention that i have had white tongue with weird looking bumps for about a week but i thought that was all part of the anxiety thing....i am also not having much of an appetite and again attributed it to the anxiety/depression thing...maybe its time to go see my doctor!..thanks

I'm not sure this qualifies as anything wrong with YOU as such, it could have been something you ate?... or it could have just been your emotions catching up with the big change in your life with getting married, etc...

I think you should give it time before you consider taking medications that may be unnecessary... I think everything you said about the change in your lifestyle makes sense, and is valid. Perhaps you need to work on the feeling of loneliness a little, one of the things we all need to do is learn to love ourselves at some point... there's a difference between wishing someone was with you than being not OK with them being absent... I think if your relationship is as good as you say it is you should mention it, but try not to make a big deal, tell him you understand he has his life and responsibilities to deal with, you just... miss him and/or your family sometimes... and that you had some emotional problems afterall its the truth right?...

As for you growing up, in my experience time takes care of that for you... your anxiety or depression isn't about your age or maturity...

Also as for negative thought cycles, I may not be able to help you prevent them unless something I've already said helps with that somehow, but what I can do is tell you if you are having them, maybe you should try do do what I found worked for me and simply tell yourself "this isn't helping"... its like the reverse of an affirmation, its a simple truth that with any luck will help you feel better...

I wish you good luck and a happy future...

I think a medical evaluation as suggested by a few already is the best route to go. Especially with the white tongue and bumps. Its amazing how a bug can drain us and make us feel completely mental. I got the flu a few weeks ago and cried off and on for days for no reason other then I was sick.
As far as the other stuff with the family, may be worth looking at, but first get the medical stuff handled. One step at a time!
