Not coping so well. Sudden feeling out of control

Been fine for most of the day. Actually tons better than yesterday, but about a couple of hour's ago, out of no where, start feeling not with it; almost as though I am struggling to not go insane, which is leaving me feeling horribly out of control. Worse because there seems no reason for it. Did take a couple of paracetamol, which helped, but then that cruel feeling came back.

Right now, in bed, but cannot sleep.

I keep telling myself that I have felt like this before, but a long time ago now, but panic is getting in the way and mind is alive with all sorts of deathly diseases. I feel so disappointed because I thought I had got a St the health anxiety and my husband felt similar last week, for a day, but whoa coped tons better than me ie just got on with it, rather than panicking.

Sincerely hate this feeling

A4H, It's almost midnight now where Suzanne is ... so I hope she's sleeping or winding down & resting at this time. I didn't comment because I didn't know what to write that might help. I was also thinking & hoping that her lying down & at least trying to just rest & relax might be most helpful.

Suzanne, I hope you feel at least somewhat (if not a lot) better when you see this tomorrow. If it helps, try to remind yourself that you will be okay. ((Hugs))
 
Suzanne, as you sleep, you are being beamed well-wishes for healing, wellness, peace. You are strong, you have been through much. I am wishing you an awareness of your strength. Please drink well, stay hydrated. We are all here, sending you good thoughts as you rest.

I had an unexpected snow day today. I was so excited about the day. I was going to sew. I took a great nap then started to sew. Nothing was lining up well. The pattern pieces were too big because I was trying to accommodate a weight gain but added too much. Then I started falling off the edge. I started feeling overwhelmed and life was just too hard. I am a new widow (3 1/2 months) but this has always happened easily too me. I'm disappointed with myself. Everything is always so hard for me.

No worries. She'll get here when she gets here. I was disturbed because I'd seen several views but no responses, and clicking 'Friendly' didn't seem friendly enough. I couldn't think of what to say either until I recalled a quote I used to have on my refrigerator: "The fullness of love means going to your neighbor and saying to him, 'What are you going through?'"
 
These episodes may seem like hellish eternities without hope, but they are transitory. If you cannot find the strength in yourself then find it in your husband, your family, your faith. Ride out the storm, knowing that the sun will shine again.
 
I am quite simply overwhelmed and feel the love you all are showering me, which I beg you to stop, for water and my tablet do not mix well:p what am I talking about, of course water goes well with a tablet, for how else can you take them so, come on, keep making me stim in glee:p

Tons better now and had a clue to what is the possible reason: paint fumes, basically. I had not contemplated this, because I only started to smell the paint, on surrendering to my bed, but hubby Jem said you do not need to smell to be effected. Anyway, it seems to have passed me now, which is a huge relief:confused:

I saw your messages earlier my morning (French) and was so happy and touched that I went into child mode :p wringing my hands in delight and stimming, which I now understand is an aspie trait. I have seen other Aspies and auties doing the same thing.

I will answer each of you, when I am using my lappy; just so eager to let you all know that I LOVE you for all your amazing support :)

First, Sue, welcome to this amazing forum and second, wow no wonder you felt this way; you are so very brave and I do hope you have support? You have no right to be disappointed in yourself; for goodness sake, you have lost your loved one, not that long ago, so you have the right to feel this way and please, feel free to inbox me any time you want to vent, or cry etc etc

Do you know, I am blown away with how much we think alike, for although I certainly appreciated the friends up; there is nothing so heart warming than for some one to answer: hey, you are not alone etc and YOU DID just that; I feel very warm inside with your words; but hey, all the my amazing apsie comments!

What's this salt water on my face? And the oddly warm feeling in my chest?

It's funny what "good" looks and feels like.
 
I think paracetamol is not enough. If you feel that bad I think the best thing you can do is telling a doctor. i am sure of that (based in my own experience) :)
