Hey all, hoping for some words of encouragement or advice as I'm a total mess right now. Sorry for the verbal diarrhoea in this post, I don't know who to talk to and hoping some people here may understand.

I move house on Friday and I've barely packed. I'm doing this all alone, I literally have no one to help me. I have AuDHD and have been in shutdown mode for weeks to the point I had to be signed off at work due to how bad I felt. I did NOTHING in this time, I struggled to get out of bed most days.

Now it's just days to go and my anxiety has skyrocketed, I was awake most of last night in actual agony, I honestly thought I was dying at one point. I feel so sick, my stomach is excruciating, and I've an awful headache and serious dizzy spells even when laying down. And I've still not made any real headway on the packing. I took some meds last night which I realised were what was making me feel worse somehow?? I take 40mg Propranolol and it normally calms me down but I think I'm so stressed at this point that it's just not working, but I'm confused it's made me feel physically horrendous??

I'm terrified the truck also won't be big enough and I can't get any charity shops to collect the large pieces I want to donate to free up space so the worry is really getting to me! I don't drive so I can't just take it myself. And I can't afford a second truck to take it with me.

I just want to curl up in bed and cry.

Thank you for reading :(

Hey all, so I can't see a doc until Tuesday and am wondering if anyone has any info in the mean time?

I've been diagnosed with sciatica, I knew I had piriformis on my left side and this is the side the sciatica appeared on.

For a few months, I've been waking up with numbness in my fingers but it passes after an hour or so after waking and getting moving. It is always specifically my right hand, first finger next to thumb.

Today though it hasn't regained full sensation and I've been awake and mobile for around 12 hours.

I was told to watch out for numbness especially in extremities but they were talking about lower half - is there any chance this hand thing is related to sciatica?

Thanks for any help!
