me too :( I've gained a lot of weight because of it
 
Whenever I get super upset, I get a terrible headache. It's really frustrating that my emotions affect my physical well-being to such an extent. I have eaten and drunken a lot, now I'm tryig to relax, but the pain's still here.

I so know what that is like. With my depression I almost always have this need to want to eat big platefuls of food. And this usually happens after I see or hear something MJ related that will upset me. Which is usually all of the time for me. And it is something I seriously need to stopped doing. Since I am literally the size of a house now. And I have been trying to exercise. But it is really not helping me much. Since I also suffer from insomnia which is another reason for my weight gain. And I totally blame all of this on that evil monster for doing what he did to Michael. When we still had him I was never like how I am now. I was never the big eater like I am now. And I never once suffer from insomnia. And thanks to that f-ing a-hole for doing what he did. This is something I am going to have to learn to live with. Especially with my insomnia. Because without Michael I will never see another good nights worth of sleep ever again. Back when we still had him I always spend a few hours or so every single night watching and listening to him. And that always gave me a good nights worth of sleep. Plus always having the most wonderful dreams about Michael also helps. I can't watch him anymore. Not unless I want to risk of suffering from another panic attack. Something I never thought I would have. When it came to Michael. And listening to him only brings on the tears for me. So listening to him is totally out of the question for me. And those wonderful MJ dreams I once had back when we still had him. Are now vivid horrible nightmares for me. Probably some of the worst nightmares you could ever want to have of him. And I am still haunted by the ones I had during that first horrible summer without him. Thankfully I don't have them all of the time. But when I do have them I am forced to stay up for the rest of the night. Not that it matters to me anymore since the most sleep I get on some nights is about 4 hours. Most nights it is less than that. But I am still learning to live with it. But at least I know what it must have been like for Michael. Before that evil f-ing a-hole did what he did to him.
 
So I didn't know this thread existed. I'm sorry many of you are having a difficult time. I haven't been diagnosed with anything exactly but I'm sure I have some depression and anxiety. The depression comes and goes...
 
I can easily mind f**k myself to not get any sleep.. lets say I spend a lot of time tossing and turning.. I just can't shut my brain off and that ties into anxiety which ends up keeping me up... Years ago it was creativity keeping me up.. Always thinking of art projects I was working on (or wanted to work on) now it's just stress that keeps me up...


I hope I didn't jinx myself for tonight!!

Maybe you should talk to someone about it, even your general practitioner. To me, it sounds like anxiety, but I'm not a specialist. Or you could be just sad... People sometimes have troubles to accept their sadness.

I used to have this problem, too. You could try drinking tea enhancing sleep and doing something exhausting over the day to make yourself tired. Long walks, sports, dancing, housework, etc. Can you sort out the things that stress you?

I probably should have explained more in my post oops. but yeah at one point I did bring it up to my doctor a while ago and he recommended me St Johns Wort but it didn't really get along too well with me. Now days I have a different doctor but I have yet to bring anything up to him. I've had a few other issues health wise lately and it seemed like he was a bit hesitant in helping with that so I haven't brought up anything else.

I was gaining too much weight, so I have to change meds (antipsychotics). they also didn't work properly, I kept having symptoms, and because I kept having that, they kept increasing the dose, and the more I got, the more weight I gained. so I'm in the middle of changing slowly. have to increase the dose of the new meds and decrease the dose of the old ones once a month. so it's a slow process, but it has to be done that way

:better: Take care, Valery :angel:

Indeed, it sometimes really takes you 'off guard' :blush:
It's okay though. I've learnt not to 'push' myself so hard 'to fit in' :cheeky:
We are all 'unique' with our own 'talents' and if "being social" is NOT one of them then we just have focus on the stuff we're good at. :D
 
I don't suffer from anxiety, but some of the stuff I've read in here is heartbreaking, so I just figured I'd say that you're all very strong resilient people, and f*** the haters. :D
 
Anxiety and depression is just as much chemical as it is emotional.. There is always hope!
 
I have not seen this yet but hope it helps.


I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.
In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
