Hey, so I don't know how to put this so I'm just going to basically word vomit here.. For probably whats coming up to about 3 weeks I've felt really low, like sad, and when I'm not I feel kind of just numb, but I really have no good reason for it..which makes me just overthink it and feel worse. I noticed I'm sleeping more than usual (like 8-11 hours, usually I sleep 6-8) and when I wake up i feel exhausted and have no motivation to do anything. (A part from last night, when I just couldnt stop thinking and found my self getting maybe 2 or 3 hours of sleep). on top of that I've lost maybe 15 pounds in the last few weeks, which doesn't make sense since I've been eating a lot (and I know I'm skinny, but I eat way more than it would appear) and my diet hasn't changed much, if anything I've been eating better. I've also been getting anxious, like that nervous feeling deep in your stomach and it just causes me to feel all emotional.
I'm a little worried, knowing that Crohn's has been linked to both anxiety and depression. Over the past (at least) year This has been going on off and on, but usually just a few days, maybe a week (I guess I'm never 100% but its never this bad or even this long) so it's scary that its going on 3 weeks. Could these be signs of there being something wrong such as depression? OR something else? I see my specialist with in the next month and I'm not sure if I should bring it up if I still feel how I do now..
and if you've gone through this what did you find helped?
I apologize for the novel, I'm sure I missed some stuff but like I said..word vomit
