Sleep, Anxiety and Depressed Feelings
1. Sleep - no sleep problems, but cant sleep due to my 3 years daughter who keeps me waking, hence cant sleep full duration.
2. Anxiety and depressed feelings - due to incomplete sleep, cant wake up early, feel depressed, mood swings, have back neck problems, feel vomiting and nausea, want to sleep whole day, due to bad health and mood, my tone gets bad with house people and fight with my husband.
3. Child - child is very active and wants to play continuously, need one person whole day along with her else child become cranky.
Need one more child but due to such experience, extreme fear of having another child.
Nowadays i m having severe headaches, neck pain, vomiting and loss of interest in life.
Please suggest what i m going through and what medicines i should take. I dont want to have habitual habit of long term therapy as i m still young at 27.
Sleep, anxiety, depressive symptoms, stress are all different facets of the same problem sometimes. Some people are little more vulnerable and any trigger can push them into feeling anxious, worried, negative thoughts automatically, resulting in lack of motivation, energy, impaired sleep / appetite including lots of pains and aches etc. Every task seems like an uphill and overwhelming including looking after children. Environmental issues like this can actually worsen symptoms and symptoms can worsen environmental issues.
Next Steps
I suggest you to take a step back and first, accept that you cannot go on like this. You need practical help to deal with daily chores and babysitting. Stay calm and keep noticing your emotions and thoughts, irrespective of their nature. Start to appreciate them in the context of your stresses and anxiety. Focus on enjoying one thing at a time. Practice yoga, walking, meditation, breathing exercise. Practice good sleep hygiene and take healthy diet. Notice any triggers and avoid them as it is not worth it
Health Tips
I also suggest you consult a Psychiatrist in person for a detailed assessment and more personalised advice. Not everyone will need a long term therapy. sometimes learning some useful techniques and consistently practicing is good enough. Best wishes
