I've been crying over the same things for months. My head is full. I'm constantly feeling panicked. My heart clings to the the familiar, to what I know. I'm exhausted to the point where I don't have the energy to eat, make food, shower, brush my teeth, take care of myself. I can't get up from bed, I get all dizzy and my body feels heavy. I keep trying, not to cry, but trying to supress all those emotions, it's not working. I'm grieving. I lost friends. I lost my health. I lost my mind. I lost the ability to do basic tasks. I used to the the top student in my uni course, now I can't do anything. I feel like I'm fighting an army of demons and I'm being outnumbered. I am seeing a psychiatrist tomorrow, but he always puts me on medication that cause unbearable nausea.
Have you mentioned the nausea to your psychiatrist? I hope he's starting you on the lowest dose for each medication. Also, I remember hearing someone once say to try to be 1% better every day. Even if all you do is wash your face or brush your hair, and then go back to bed, that's still progress. Hugs xx

I hear you ans been there before. First off all dont suppressing the enoition and letting yourself cry is important. Don't try to bottle it up. There's no reason to feel ashamed.
What the previous posture suggested is solid but if you manage to do just a bit of self care start with trying to eat a little. Any food that seems most soothing. Being severly malnourished will make it worse and spiral you further. So whenever you feel a tiny bit of energy try to have something light and quickly maybe ready to eat without much preparation. Im truly sorry to hear youre feeling so bad at this time

That sounds really dreadful what you go through, it's so cruel to me how there's all this suffering, I hope you find the relief you search for, I wish you the best.
I have mentioned it. He's been prescribing me medication with the lowest chance of nausea, but I still end up getting nauseous. It's so bad it makes me get sick a few times a day. I guess I'll just have to suck it up. Thank you for the hugs and hugs back <3
Thank you for all the advice. I guess I'll start eating yoghurts. The thing is, when I do let myself cry, it's like I don't have the switch button, then I get migraines and awful body pains. I can cry for hours and just not stop. It's like I don't have emotional stability at all

If you don't mind me asking, what class of medication are you taking? I take a mood stabiliser and an SNRI, and I generally feel okay unless I skip a dose. It sucks that you have to deal with that. I hope you can eventually find some peace from it all, whatever that may look like <3

I was on mirtazapine for some time. Its an antidepressants. I found it too sedating but it greatly increased appetite and is perscribed for slight nausea associated with depression and insomnia. Maybe worth a try. But its very sedating in the beginning.
