i feel so unwell pyhiscally. I have alot going on health wise and i feel terrible daily. Right now im struggling not to throw up and sealing with the stomache cramps as i lay feeling dizzy and funny headed try to stay awake for the letting agent to come take pictures of our flat as we are moving soon.

Its pushing me to be even more suicidal than i already was cause of ptsd.

I cant stand when i pyhiscally and mentally so unwell at once. Its double torture.

I cant cope feeling like this any longer. Something needs to change. And quick.

Pray! Give your situation and yourself to a higher power. Know that you are beautiful and worthy. Be a good finder in life. Get up off that couch, shower, get out the door and do something hood for another person. Live in the moment, take baby steps.

Go read the book by Eckart Tolle,
“The power of now”
Love u,

@Grabie, not everyone believes in a god.

@Sarah, I get it, that's exactly what I was feeling (the physical and mental together). Break it into small steps and we'llget through this together.

more hugs, self sorrowing is important and a type of self care, you need this xo

like patti said, we'll get through this together xo

It is difficult to deal with the health issues and they can trigger the ptsd. I'm glad that you are trying a new medication and that you are feeling somewhat better. I struggle with chronic pain which triggers some other issues for me. I find that exercising and distraction help me a lot. I hope that you can find some coping methods that work for you and help you with the transition of moving. Keep looking for a solution and take one day at a time.

popping back in to send another hug of support and to maybe check in with you. i know we have a big time difference but not sure where we are right now.. maybe you are asleep, that would be nice xo

Agree with all above that the physically unwell + mentally unwell combo is just so tough to deal with. For me, being physically unwell is actually my biggest trigger both for remembering traumatic events and increased anxiety/depression. I'm glad you're feeling a little less sick- did the new meds help with this?

undeservingaspie 05/05/2018

Turns out not feeling sick is short lived. If i havnt eaten for about 3 hours i get sick, funny headed, weaky and shakey. Turns out thats my under active thyriod being mean. She said the meds wont start to work for 6 weeks. Ive only had 2 days worth. Next 6 weeks could be hell. Even worse i had a eating disorder i dont like to eat and eating is what stops the unwellness.

Thanks everyone for your support. Means alot to me.

I was treated for thyroid problems for a year back in 2010-2011. It was tough. Hope it gets better for you quickly in the weeks ahead, aspie.

:( Sorry to hear that

I know it sounds odd, but would protein shakes/smoothies help? When I get very anxious I struggle to make myself eat, but I can almost always make myself drink, so I go with healthy smoothies. I don't know if that would help you, sending warm thoughts.
