Not a good one for me I am on edge all the time and panic at the least thing. You see I feel overwhelmed because of my recovery I can't get out when I want to and can't come to terms with that. When I was first diagnosed with Panic Disorder last year my coping was being able to get out. At times I think I'm going to lose my mind and don't want to wake up in the morning.
Before the surgery I was suffering from depression. I feel this is a nightmare that just won't end. I don't see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Hi there , well yesterday was a horrid day but it ended ! Today much better thank-you . Im not suprised you are feeling so bad atm , you are still recovering . It will pass , i promise . Just plenty of rest , patience and TLC . We will beat this
I have never been able to accept things, I always fight against it (which I know doesn't help, but I honestly don't know how to )
I"m an emotional wreck & can't handle not being able to go out when I want.
I also have tinnitus and hyperacusis which makes me very sensitive to noises and vibrations. Since the surgery it's become intolerable, this adds to the situation and creates more panic.
I'm going to see my GP tomorrow in hopes she will have some answers for me & will receive a call from my social worker.
You are most welcome CM phew thats easier to type lol . How are you doing today ? Im not so good but now have knowledge which is very powerful . So am taking a leaf outta your book with the oner day . Heres to tommorrow !!
Thank-you so much for your response. I do try telling myself that I can get through this, I can handle this & this will pass. Since the surgery I really haven't been feeling well & have had to go to the doctors a couple of times as the stitches are leaking. Today wasn't a good day, very weak and tired and just wondering what next.
I also have a lot of guilt because I can't do things around the house like i used to or go for groceries so my 80 year old mum had to do a lot for me & 81 year old father has to do the shopping.
Thank-you very much for your response. I haven'r started using the exercises yet as challenging the negative thoughts is something I can't seem to do.
I'm really good at having all the thoughts, but as for challenging them, I just don't believe the alternative or balanced thought. I have had this negative thinking pattern for so long & boy am i good at it.
My social worker has been trying to get me to challenge the thoughts, but with the surgery & not being able to get out very much and all the weird feeling since the surgery the negative thoughts are just rolling in.
Ps. Sorry Callen for calling you Jen lol. Been reading so many posts in the last 30 minutes, I got the names mixed up, but the reply was meant for you :)
