Oh dear - sounds like you need a big HUG!!

What's up? A problem shared...

Sorry you're feeling so rubbish. Just had a quick scan of your recent posts - Is it the menopause stuff? Money worries? Here's a hug anyway :grouphug:- hopefully someone will be able to help...we can listen anyway!

Thanks for the replies and hugs x
I dont know exactly what it is im confused, i suffer from BPD and depression anyway, but its the womens stuff thats making me feel ill. Someone mentioned i maybe Perimenopausal<sp> all i know if ive never felt so ill in my life.:(

Well, I guess the first option would be to pop off to the Drs so you can explain what the problem is, and maybe get a blood test to see if it is the perimenopause, then take it from there. Not a lot of help, I know when you feel rotten now!

Did you have a bad night's sleep too? Everything seems worse when you're tired.

I`ve a blood test next Thurs, also waiting for a laparoscopy <sp> to find out what occuring!:eek:

I slept well last night, and i dont feel tired at the moment, i just ache, i`m bloated 27/7 lately (all over), all i do is cry, i`m getting bad palpatations, i sweat like a pig, i feel faint, my lower abdoman hurts, i feel like my stress levels are gonna burst, i`m miserable, i dont smile, i dont want to talk, i feel alone, yet i dont want anyone near me, i want to go out, yet going out is now making me panic.
I feel pathetic, i`m fed up with moaning about it, so what must my family feel like. Its all Me, Me, Me,
I`m trying to keep up with going to work (we are self employed), but thats just making me worse atm, as getting out of bed, just existing and breathing seems to be a struggle.Its an effort to wash, i look awful, i`ve got this certain look across my eyes (unless i`m going potty). My skin is !!!!!, my hair is dry, and falls out, my nails are brittle, i`m sprouting hair all over the place. I`m getting fatter.

God !!!!!! shut up women, I`m sorry

Ok, pretty bad then?! Well at least the tests are booked, so that's good. Is there something you can do to get you through the day - maybe a good film so that you can at least sit on the sofa and forget it all for a couple of hours? Will setting yourself a small goal help - maybe up and showered if you're still in bed?

Sorry, not much help. Can you get to the doctor before next week, perhaps?

A lot of your symptoms sound like it could be under-active thyroid gland. It would be worth asking your doctor to check this out with a blood test. Please Google hypothyroidism and have a read, it really does fit with a lot of your problems. I was diagnosed in December and have been on thyroxine since, still not shifting any weight and I still get palpitations, but do feel a lot better. Also started getting menopause symptoms at the same time - hot flushes and night sweats. Have cured them by taking sage capsules twice a day - thank goodness.

Please do speak to your doctor though, you really sound like you need some help.

Take care.
