I'm listening to music and trying to chat online. I don't know what else to do.



I would but I don't want her to know i'm thinking about doing that. I've put her through enugh as it is. That's why i'm scared of going back to hospital - cause thenI she has to know what i'm planning/thinking about doing

So I've been asked to think about taking part in an experimental trial using 'Avatar therapy'. I know it's a long shot since it's only in trial stages but does anyone have any experiences of this? or insights??

I'm worried that I am getting into some depressive/anxiety episode.

I feel rundown, sensory stimuli seems to be louder/brighter etc. and induce nausea, walking in public gives me sensory overload which makes me have a panic attack, the panic attack leaves me exhausted and feeling hopeless and then I spend the rest of the day in bed napping to recover.

I haven't managed to get an essay in for three whole weeks and as I have 2 essays a week it is becoming a bit of a problem. I spent last week back home resting with my tutor's permission but I'm back at uni now and have had 2 panic attacks, some big 'I'm overwhelmed' cries and I already feel worn out again.

I have no motivation to leave my room and am too brain fuzzy to get my work done. My mum is telling me to just get on with the work as I'll feel bad/rundown whether I do it or not. I just can't seem to do it though and my body keeps focusing on what's wrong with it.

I also have had an IBS flareup recently and am failing to eat enough as I feel nauseous all the time.

I'm not sure what to do. I'm not on antidepressants atm (Although I am on nausea tablets which are anti-psychotics and which are often prescribed as a short-term anti-anxiety med)

When I have the panic attacks I don't feel anxious I just feel overwhelmed by sensory stimuli.

I'd get yourself to a doctor as soon as you can. Whatever it is it doesn't sound good, and if you can catch it early then all the better.

Just a thought, but do you think you could be physically ill with something, that's causing the sensory overload, IBS flare-up and everything? I know when I've got even a mild fever I get really painful reactions to light and noise, as well as feeling run down and all that kind of thing.

Appointment with new psychiatrist in a little bit. So currently alternating between worrying about being late and worrying about if she's horrible.
Fun fact: Cambridgeshire has a psychiatric hospital in what used to be the lunatic asylum. Not sure that sets the right tone really.

Yeah I've been getting quite high fevers too (I get around 2-3 a month) but the doctors think that somehow that is caused by anxiety or a viral infection. They refuse to explore why I keep getting the virus.

It seems as soon as I get myself back on track with a healthy balance of food, sleep, exercise and uni work I get another 'viral infection' and end up having to start right from the beginning again.

I GOT A JOB INTERVIEW
