46 and unsure about everything right now honestly. the sleep is the worst bit. or maybe the anxiety is. hard to say when they arrive together at 3am like uninvited flatmates. what i keep getting stuck on is how to explain it to a GP without sounding like i'm making a fuss. like. my symptoms are all quite... soft? no dramatic thing i can point to. just not sleeping properly, waking with this vague horrible feeling, finding everything slightly harder than it used to be. i've been trying to think how to describe that in a two minute appointment without getting fobbed off with "you've got a lot on your plate" started going out for a walk after dinner this week, partly because someone mentioned it in another thread here. nothing long, just round the block. it does seem to take the edge off slightly before bed. and i've been doing easier dinners so i'm not still buzzing from cooking at 9pm which was genuinely not helping. if anyone has found actual words that land with a GP when symptoms feel vague i'd really love to know. like literally what did you say. my memory goes completely blank the moment i sit down in that room 😩
