Feeling sad

Pad123

Today's I have been quite emotional. Keep coming up with scenarios that haven't happened and crying about them. Finding everything very overwhelming. House is a mess and I can't bring myself to clean it. Or clean myself. Haven't ate anything in 4 days, I just don't want to eat.

I am so sorry you're feeling this way. Can you try and go for a walk and just soak in the beauty of the outdoors? The fresh air and walking my awaken you a bit.

Are there friends or relatives that you trust to talk with? You need to eat. At four days you will be disoriented and also unable to control limb movement like you want to. I was an ultra distance runner and I know the state you are in - your body is now burning muscle and your blood does not have the sugers to think straight.

I stopped eating for a while and then changed to once a day. Everyone was screaming me and checking me at meals. The fasting permanently change me now I eat just two meals a day and little at that.

So you are crying at things that don't exist or didn't happen. So what. Do it. People cry over a story told to them all the time (movies)

What is really going on?

I will be here online from 11 PM and then tomorrow from 6 AM to about 9 PM.

Tell us what is going on. Just type do not mind grammar or spelling. Just type a response and you might be surprised. I was so often

I'm sorry that you're so distraught Pad.... I agree you need to eat or at least drink fluids.... Can someone get you some Boost or Ensure from your pharmacy?

I would call you pdoc tomorrow and let him/her know what's going on... If you think you need to please go to emerg….. Big hug.....xo

Thanks everyone for your support. Managed to eat half a sandwich . I was sweating after eating it but managed to keep it down. Still feeling full of angst and getting distressed but eating something is an improvement so I'm seeing it as a positive step. I'm going to try to get out the house for a walk later when it gets a bit darker and iv calmed down a bit. Thanks for being there guys x

    Life has been really hard this past year. I'm really feeling down and  alone.  I can't talk to my family about my depression and anxiety their not very understanding about it.  It's really hitting me since my mother passed a few months ago, plus stress from having to eventually move.  Also having my niece coming around who suffers bipolar and refuses to take medication for it.  Its been...
