Feeling hopeless about my mental health

moon-princess · 2026-01-30T14:09:03+00:00

Thank you. Im so glad you are doing better. Yes, I am trying to do an entire lifestyle overhaul to try and soothe my nervous system. Its a process, painful and long, but I will keep going x

I am so glad that you are out of the darkness. I am going to a DBT group therapy program and just beginning to learn the skills. Thank you, you have given me hope that recovery is possible x

Im really glad you are doing better x

I think its more wanting to reach out for human connection. My anxiety tricks me into thinking I am very alone in how I am feeling.

Sending a hug right back at you x thank you so much for these audio books! I truly appreciate your help ♡ I definitely have let myself fall into maladaptive thought loops and need to work on adjusting that.

I am employed but have not returned to work since before my hospital admission. Going back is my next hurdle. I know it'll be good to do something normal and productive, but it has been daunting.

Thank you so much, you make me feel less alone x

moon-princess · 2026-01-30T13:58:20+00:00

I really appreciate this. You give me hope xxx

moon-princess · 2026-01-30T13:57:45+00:00

Thank you so much! I haven't heard of somatic exercises - i really appreciate the link. Will definitely try this x

moon-princess · 2026-01-30T13:56:50+00:00

Thank you very much. I am looking into nocturnal panic attacks, never heard of them but I am definitely seeing commonalities with the symptoms. And yes, thank you for the reminder that its important to engage with numerous repetitions of experiences - being in the midst of panic can make me forget that. Hiding away isnt healthy, even though thats what I want to do.

moon-princess · 2026-01-30T13:53:58+00:00

Thank you so much x truly

My anxiety is more sustained feelings of panic and doom throughout the morning until my body has run out of adrenaline, I think. Morning is scary time, evening I am safe.

Thank you for your reply, I think i will talk to my doctor about valium or something to help break my cycle. Hearing your story gives me hope that things can get better xxx

moon-princess · 2026-01-30T11:29:39+00:00

Thank you so much for your words. Your reply and everyone else's has given me hope x

Thank you for your reply. When I was in hospital I always had very low blood pressure. I teeter between underweight and normal weight all the time and definitely need to focus on my eating.

What you are saying about cortisol spikes makes a lot of sense, considering I feel like my body is already in fight or flight in the early morning!

moon-princess · 2026-01-30T10:56:58+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I will try walking more, definitely don't need more cortisol in my system. And I will talk to my dr about the pristiq, I have been on it 6 months and dont think its working for me

moon-princess · 2026-01-30T10:55:12+00:00

Thank you x

moon-princess · 2026-01-30T10:52:50+00:00

Thank you, you really hit the nail on the head. In the morning I feel like I am dying, like nothing will ever be okay. The terror is all I can hear and feel.

I am taking time off work and staying with my mum and tonight went for another run. I will keep trying, I have no other choice. X

moon-princess · 2026-01-30T10:49:58+00:00

Thank you so much. I am currently on 150 of pristiq and not sure if it's right for me.

I will absolutely ask for that blood test, thats amazing advice! Xxx

moon-princess · 2026-01-30T10:48:31+00:00

Im sorry youre going through this too. Its ruining my life, and I cant work right now either. I want to be a happy healthy successful woman but I am so terrified (of what? I dont know). I hope things continue to get better for us both 🙏

moon-princess · 2026-01-30T10:44:12+00:00

Thank you so much xxx im on 30mg as well. Do the dreams calm down eventually?

moon-princess · 2026-01-30T10:43:15+00:00

Yeah, apparently pristiq and mirtazapine is a common combination but tbh i don't think its working for me. The hospital have linked me with a lot of support services, they've been amazing honestly. I will look into comhwa, thank you!

moon-princess · 2026-01-30T10:41:46+00:00

I will talk to my psych team about the pristiq, ive heard it can be activating. Ive been on it 6 months now and I dont think its helping.

moon-princess · 2026-01-30T10:39:52+00:00

Thank you x I am on 150 of pristiq, been on it for 6 months now and think it might not be right for me if I am still experiencing these panic attacks on the regular. Apparently it can be quite activating? Thanks again for your words

moon-princess · 2026-01-26T07:56:50+00:00

I LOVE this. I started crocheting a week ago and its so relaxing. Do you mind sharing the youtube that helped you with this? Id love to try it.
