    Sleep's gone to s**t this week. Been waking at 2 am, some mornings-then sleeping 20 hours the next day.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4 Dogmum89


    Really struggling with sleep at the minute. Previously I would fall asleep no problem and then wake in the middle of the night for a couple of hours and fall asleep again. Lately Its physically trying to fall asleep is the issue. It was after 3am before I fell asleep last night and I was awake again before 8am. Its like a vicious circle, when my sleep cycle isnt good my anxiety and depression seem worse. I think Ive developed ocd now as well, hair pulling has become a new ritual and I now have a small patch of missing hair, which is making me anxious of what people are thinking when they see it.

    Sorry to hear this, im experiencing the very same thing with my sleep cycle, it was after 3am last night that I fell asleep and I also woke up just before 8am. Im awake but feeling mentally drained and lethargic. Its been like this now for weeks & it's beyond annoying. If you find any solutions please leave an update.

    Need some help.
    My mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer last June. With the lockdown etc she hasn't left the house in over a year due to a combination of physical illness and mental illness. This has taken a severe toll on her. Always a happy socially active woman, Unfortunately she has been diagnosed with a severe case of clinical depression. It should have been dealt with earlier but it was hard to spot given her physical illness. What started as anxiety about lots of things has spiraled out of control to the point where she had paranoia, delusions of being watched, became very suspicious of some of her loved ones and a belief that all her appliances were broken and dangerous, bank accounts compromised. Etc
    Thankfully she is now getting help and it on a low dose tablet for anxiety and a tablet for psychosis.
    A couple of questions for those who may have had symptoms like these before if that's okay.

    I find it difficult to persuade her to take her medication as prescribed. She often complains that she has stomach issues and feels like nothing is real on this medication. I would have thought they would ease those symptoms and not cause them. Are these just excuses not to take them because I know she doesn't believe they will help her? I just want to see her get some relief from the torment she is showing lately

    As a family we take it in turns to spend nights in her house. She has a new set of worries/paranoid delusions every night that are completely irrational. I am able to ease her mind about some of these worries, prove they are okay but she has had angry outbursts at other times when I didn't verify what she was worried about. Any thoughts on how best to deal with this? If I agree with her I am only feeding her worry with a lie for an easy life. If I disagree it can lead to her becoming very upset and panicky.
    The doctor told us the tablets should take about 6 weeks to have an effect and she has showed sighs of improvement from psychosis but she is still very down and can be very anxious.
    Any suggestions are welcome.

    Hi Bartybull,

    The difficulty with your mum's condition is that cancer can play havoc with pretty much everything in your body.
    My father was diagnosed with terminal cancer many years ago, succumbing to the disease 12 months after his diagnosis.
    It messed with his mind also, often giving him erratic moods. He was suffering from seizures too, and every seizure left him confused afterwards.
    Sometimes he would get upset and panicked too.

    The medication takes time to work-it can take 6 to 8 weeks for the meds to start to take hold. Your mum's condition may affect this, I don't know-I'm not a medical expert.

    I know the situation you're in is very difficult. It's easier said than done, but patience with your mother is important. She's in a very difficult situation right now, and her condition may exacerbate her mental health.

    If needs be, you may need to discuss some of these things with her doctor. Often, with terminal diagnosis, there's this feeling of wanting to get 'everything done' before passing.

    This is an incredible difficult situation for you and your family, I'm sorry I don't have much advice, but my father died of cancer many years ago, he to became very depressed during his illness, refusing to take anti-depressants, he was also prone to it and anxiety. it was deeply upsetting to watch him deteriorate, and the fact both of us had undiagnosed autism, made it even more difficult. Please look after your own well being, consider counselling for yourself, I don't know how we got through it as a family, without someone ending up in hospital with a breakdown, without a doubt the most painful and stressful period of my life, best of luck

    Anyone develop severe migraine as a result of anxiety?
    Some of the stuff I read talks about anxiety as a result of migraine and that seems very logical. But any cases of the opposite?

    i think nearly anything is possible from anxiety, stress your mind enough, and weird sh1t happens, im fairly sure i experience sinus related issues due to anxiety

    Anybody ever been prescribed Buspar for anxiety and did it help?
    Also called Buspirone. It's unfortunately not covered under DPS so it costs about €50 extra a month while still spending €114 a month.

    I got a months supply anyway to try it. Not sure what to do. I've spent my money on worse things.

    Yep.

    One thing I’m only learning now with Migraines, is that The symptoms are extremely extensive. I can have a migraine with no real headache. Here’s a list of things I’ve recorded in migraine buddy (that others record):

    - fatigue
    - low mood
    - irritability
    - sensitive to light/sound/touch
    - brain fog, hard to concentrate
    - blurry vision
    - eye strain
    - nausea
    - tinnitus
    - upset stomach
    - anxiety
    - pain in head
    - frequent urination
    - extreme hunger

    I’ve had all these symptoms rotating since 15th March. This is probably my longest running migraine. The insidious nature of it is that some days I may only get some of these symptoms in a mild manner that can make you think it’s all grand.

    I’ve spent decades on mental health and sleep issue solutions. I’ve know since a teenager that I get migraines but only recently to the degree they are having on my life. A lot of the symptoms above can be treated as anxiety but I think migraines may be playing a bigger role then I had realised.

    I’m also exploring ADHD, which is very misunderstood from what I’m reading and probably not as straight forward as the majority of people believe.

    As far as I am concerned I’m turning over every stone I can to figure out why life can feel so hard some days and easy on others. The difference of 24 hours can be like like going from winning the lottery to losing your family. I work hard on my mental health so it’s not for Want of trying.

    unfortunately this can be true - bullies can sense a vulnerability in people.. and they get a buzz out of making them feel small - in an attempt to make themselves feel bigger..

    not saying that this is the situation for jaxx though - sounds like he has lazy colleagues and possibly has to carry the can for them

    I honestly do not think this is bullying. It is FEAR. People are terrified of any mental or emotional illnesses.

    Hence the " snap out of it." Or. as one dear lady who was prone to depression etc said, " " Why cant you Just behave NORMAL. like.. "

    sorry I was talking about in the context of bullying in general.. not necessarily to someone who suffers from depression/anxiety.. maybe just a lack of self esteem in general..

    Last year, I was sufferings with some SERIOUS migraines. Took me a couple of days to recover from each one.
    How much of that was tied into lockdown and stress I can kind of guess.
    There may have been a few other factors too, but either way, the migraines were brutal.

    Loud noises, bright lights, having to turn the TV down to very low levels because even the theme tunes of shows could drill into my brain.
    (I would literally drop an object I was carrying to cover my ears.)

    Then afterwards, I get really confused in the brain, trying to understand what people say. It's like 'I know that's English, but I can't understand anything you're saying. I'm really sorry'.

    Only thing you can do is take a pain reliever tablet, and hydrate. Lots of water. Sometimes a lucozade or sports drink helps.

    It is known that mental illness can have a direct relation on the physical wellbeing of the body. And anxiety, at it's worst, can cause all sorts of issues.

    I'm kinna glad there was a move made on the AstraZeneca situation, my moods are definitely more unstable after it, and my fatigue is also worse

    Migraine triggers are varied and complex and indiviual. In my 50 years of them. Some are just out of the blue. Mine are sometimes lack of food ie blood sugar drops.
    Many meds can cause them too.

    More than anxiety too, RELIEF when anxiety ends can be a cause also .

    So I don't think it is as simple as anxiety alone causing migraines. I went through massive traumas etc without a single migraine

    Maybe anxiety contributes as we pay less attention to simple basic needs like rest and air and proper food.

    I often wake with one - but that is probably my M.E related blood sugar problem.

    I don't go with the anxiety/migraine connection - except that if you neglect to eg eat when you are anxious? Low blood sugar can cause or exacerbate.

    Mine are "blessed" with severe vomiting. The last one saw me bringing up blood and being choppered hastily to hospital. As they say, in danger of a " catastrophic bleed" As in medical evacuation by Rescue118, my heroes!

    There is better medication than there used to be. I can often divert it with Immigran Nasal Spray.

    But we are all and each different - and we all and each agree that a bad migraine is a shade of hell on earth .

    Possibly. I know there's every sort of thing that can happen with an anxiety attack.

    When I become very anxious I become like a rabbit caught in the headlights and I cant get started into work stuff - it involves, numbers, writing and drawing and other stuff.
    I find I get relief, as it allows me to take my mind off myself, by doing Sudoku. Strange! A crossword would probably suffice.

    Yes I got a prescription about a year ago, the first night I took it I slept for 10 hours, the second night it did nothing, I had to space out when I took it or it wouldnt work.
    My friend takes it and its worked really well for him. Everyone is different.

    hi all,

    Q for ye..

    I started 30mg of Duloxetine 6 weeks ago... I feel I have started to feel a bit too happy.. if you know what I mean.. wondering if its the meds.. mind you, the weather is great and that makes a massive difference to me too but I think its more than that...

    In any event, I know.. its better than being depressed but I have a lot of energy.. and it feels a bit unnerving...

    Anyone else have this experience on antidepressants?

    I've had similar on SSRI's and SNRI's.
    All I can say is keep a mood diary each day, and keep your prescribing doctor (GP/consultant) informed about how you're doing, mood wise.

    I ended up having mania symptoms for a long time on SSRI's without realising.

    It's worth noticing how you are doing and maintaining contact with your healthcare professionals so, if you don't notice differences, they might from seeing/speaking to you over time.

    On the extra energy, it's not the worst thing in the world I know (!) but trying to up your physical activity could help.

    Exercise is always good and recommended for everything, but something like sticking on music that makes you feel like dancing, and letting yourself jig about for a few songs can help also.
    Shaking out a bit of energy can just regulate you a bit more if youre feeling jittery.

    Also mindful activity - so not necessarily sitting down to do a meditation.. but if you have activities that you lose track of time while doing - that's mindfulness too.

    Identify one or two things like that for you, if you can, and work them into your day. For me it's weeding/cleaning some days, otherwise a crossword or sowing seeds this time of year.

    Hope it settles for you soon

    If I could find a hole to climb into I would seriously consider it; but I have to keep going for the needs of others involved. Hence boards.

    Our terrible ongoing tragedy in India atop of other issues. If I start weeping I will never stop and will drown. And in so much pain in my body also. Just all too painful. Nothing I can do to help folk with any of it.

    May have to quit boards as someone is tagging me. In a nasty way. If they see this? Please stop. I would tell them OK I know you hate me for some reason; you have made your point. enough now. Scared to come on again now. I have reported it but he is crafty and makes it seem coincidental . On eight threads today that I have seen? Very conspicuous. I have deleted a lot of my messages accordingly.

    You are all so much stronger than me in all this. Just all too much. Bye.

    Hi Grace, hope youre OK!
    Keep reporting whoever it is thats hassling you or maybe block them? I think that stops them from seeing your posts although im open to correction on that one.
    Dont let them bring you down, some people lack so much decency they enjoy hurting and annoying other people, id pity them because they must be so miserable in their own life they need to spend their time bringing down other people to lift themselves up! What a sad little existence that must be!

    Youre stronger and more resilient than you think, this is just a bad day!

    Report them. Or send a note to the category mod of the forum in which it is happening and include the posts (or post numbers from the threads where it has happened).

    It's sad, 99 people could be nice to us and if one isn't it is the one we remember.

    oh big hug Grace, oh I hope it can be sorted.. would be easy to say, just ignore this person but I know that can be difficult..

    Shame on them - its a bad reflection of them - not you..

    Go in tomorrow morning and hold the hands up for your own mistake but I wouldn't mention your own boss mistake. A proper grievances procedure should mean they will also be accountable. If you fire them into the mix you could be making two sticks for your back.

    Yes but I just realised that I have a problem. I have a super important appointment the same day of the exam..

    Why did I not think of this at the time

    I've been on citalopram for 12 days now for anxiety. I like drinking whiskey but I've stopped. Do any of you guys drink whilst on this or does it cause bad side effects. NHS say you can but the FDA say not to so I'm just looking for opinions.
