What's wrong with me? And How do I fix this?

[Anonymous]

I don't know what's wrong with me?
I haven't been getting to sleep until like 5am (or 7am last night).
I weighed myself Friday at 54kg and now (sunday) am 52.5kg.
I have major anxiety and depression and am on medication but my mood is weird, it's almost like I AM depressed but the sadness is just out of reach.
The anxiety is similar, I am anxious about the fact that the guy i was sleeping with might forget about me while he's away for 4 weeks, but its like i physically can't dwell on it. Kind of like I want to but I can't!

What's wrong and how do I fix this?

Try to breath, and find people to talk to. My cousin has anxiety problems, so my grandma and aunt help out a lot with watching her son, especially while her medicines were being adjusted. If you feel like your having problems, I would suggest talking to your doctor, especially if its been occurring a lot recently, or for a period of time.
Maybe check your caffeine intake, especially in the afternoon or at night. Try taking some melatonin to help you sleep, or look at some sound machines.
One thing, is it sounds like your overstressing, so try doing things to relax, listen to music, exercise a little, read something, just try to do something to just to loosen up and be able to let your mind wander. Otherwise, sometimes working on a project can help keep your mind off of him. Also, if he forgets about you, he's not the right guy for you, it might take a while but you'll be able to move on.

Not sure how to fix the guy problem but the meds you're on may be causing the lack of sleep, weight loss, and the anxiety. I know when I go on some meds when I'm sick I can't sleep, I don't eat, and I'm stressed out.

Most people fluctuate naturally weight wise so you could just be observing this. Sounds like you just need a de-stressor or a distraction to help with the guy issue.

I'm also quite sensitive to the effects of uncertainty.
What you could try to do (it works for me) is to:

1) Do not panic about what you're afraid of, because you can't influence it.

2) Think about what you will do when he's back. Including what you'll do in case you have the feeling he's less "into you" at that time.
The plan could go as far as "I'll text him and just tell him I still love him 100%. Than buy flowers and go visit him". If you feel a little more in control, it will comfort you.

3) On as many occasions as possible, go out for a walk - get fresh air and take some deep breaths. Together with point 2 that will help you to relax!

4) Talk about it to a good friend. Having a feeling of getting support is so important! The more shoulders the lighter the load!

Thumbs up that you'll be okay :-)
