Hi,
I need a little advice and support.
I’ve had fibromyalgia for 6 years now and have recently had a flare up due to stress. I’ve managed to sort out what was making me anxious but it was too late to stop the flare up. I noticed today that I got really anxious to the point of struggling to function (for no reason) wanting to cry all the time and then had a meltdown and started crying uncontrollably. I should note I was also struggling with vertigo which isn’t unusual for me but it is unusual for me to cry about it. I’m normally a very happy person however I do struggle with how anxious I am but never this anxious. I’ve also been doing really well recently with only mild symptoms (and the constant brain fog). I was just wondering if anyone else struggles with mood swings like this. I’ve been crying on and off all day, its not my hormones because I’m on the pill so I know I can’t blame it on that.
If you do deal with this, do you have any tips on dealing with the spike of anxiety and crying spells because I feel terrible for crying on my colleagues (who are all lovely and supportive) and it’s really hard to explain that I’m okay in myself when I don’t look like I’m okay.
If you also have tips on dealing with vertigo/ motion sickness (when you’re not even moving) I would be really grateful. I’ve tried eating ginger candy but should I try travel sickness tablets?
Thanks
Liz
