but I’m not. I’m already sick of thinking about exactly what I can eat and if I have done enough (or indeed any) exercise. So far I’ve not fallen off the wagon but how can I do this forever? Sorry but I need somewhere to vent. I really hope I’m not identifiable to anyone on here who might know me irl
In the last few years I’ve lost my dad, my dog, two aunts. I’ve had surgery for 5 different things including 6 months of massive painkillers leaving me doped up and still unable to do many functions, gallbladder removed for chronic biliary attacks that had me rushed to hospital twice suspecting heart attacks, half my thyroid removed for a cancer scare this year. I’m panicking about everything different I feel in my body. I don’t trust it, or my gps as they misdiagnosed me more than once previously. I’ve not got much emotional support at home and a fair bit of stress there too.
I’m feeling why me? After everything else now this. I know I’m not alone but I feel it. Is there such a thing as support groups in person? I told my gp how I’m feeling and whilst he was sympathetic the only actual advice was eat well, moving more helps physical and mental health and try a local counselling service that I’ve used before and didn’t find overly helpful. I definitely don’t want anti depressants at this time but don’t want to head further down either. I know its a day at a time, one step, take care of myself, etc etc but knowing and believing/feeling it aren’t the same thing
