I still have no diagnosis - mental health starting to suffer

Hi all I am still in no mans land .I am still not diagnosed due to problems getting a biopsy from me . I have posted on other threads about this . My mental health is at rock bottom I will admit which isn't easy for me to admit . I went to the doctors yesterday and was given a phone number to ring , it was closed when I got home yesterday so I am going to ring today , but im not holding out much hope as with the past 2 years I should imagine theres a long waiting list.

Due to the nature of tests I have been having it has brought back demons from my past which I had tried to keep locked away in a little box at the back of my brain as that was the only way I could ever deal with it . If I do get diagnosed with cancer will there be help available or are you just left to get on with it? .

I know a lot of folk on here will be feeling the same and im not looking for pity , im just trying to get my head in a better place . im not sleeping , im having nightmares, I literally am stressed to the hilt .I can feel my body buzzing if that makes sense? I literally don't know what to do .

  • Hello poppy777,

    I'm sorry to hear how you're feeling, but I hope the call you made today was useful in some way. There is some information on mental health on the NHS webiste here, which might be helpful. Mindfulness and exercise can also help you lift your mood and sleep better. Please don't be afraid to speak to your doctor or people around you about how you're feeling.

    Best wishes,

  • thankyou for replying i did get through on the phone and im awaiting someone getting back to me .Ive tried distracting myself but its not really working . The lack of sleep is probably making things worse, ive been through lots of things in my life but this seems to be the straw that broke the camels back .Today is day 61 since being reffered by my doctor on the 2 week pathway .Im hoping things improve once i know for definate what im dealing with.
