worried that i might have cancer and its ruining my mental health
for about a month, i have noticed a change in bowel movements and losing weight unintentionally...
i contacted a GI doctor last week (virtual appointment) and did not do anything except giving me link about controlling constipation....
i tried to contact other GI doctors but they were not available....
every morning i get up, i dread going to step on the scale...
one week i weighed 234 pounds and the next week i got on the scale and i weighed 224 pounds..
the pounds keep on dropping and i don't know what to do..
i do have a primary care provider, but he is not much help when i told him about my symptoms...
he gaslighted me saying that all of us had some degree of weight fluctuation time to time...i did not believe that...especially if you lose 5 pounds over one nights sleep...
i had a colonoscopy last year and nothing was found....
i know i am gonna die from this and its wrecking my mental health...

Have you had a blood work done? Does diabetes run in your family? What about thyroid issues?
I would try to see if they could check for those issues, maybe even rule out celiac disease while they run bloodwork.
Possibly get a second opinion if you feel like they don't take you seriously.
Maybe it's truly nothing serious and it can be managed very well. Stay strong!
my mom, since passed, had diabetes....
i need to get some blood work done...
thanks for the support...
The last couple of weeks have been draining.
One of my close friends lost his grandfather a couple of weeks ago, and he hasn't been handling it well. He's already a pretty withdrawn guy, but he's retreated into his shell even more over since then. He's needed to just get out and relax for a bit now, and hasn't really said much. He blew up on me an and another one of our friends when we were joking around in our group text, and it finally made sense that he just needed some help right now. We've got plans to kick it tomorrow, but I can't help feeling that I left him down.
My lady is struggling right now with feeling inadequate in our relationship. And when she gets depressed, she's the type to shut down, so I've been trying to make sure she doesn't bottom out. Things seems to be okay, but it's been a lot to handle.
I'm sure I'll be alright, but I know I'll need time to recharge soon.

Gotta get myself together, cause I got somewhere to go
This shyt sucks brehs. First time I've ever dealt with this shyt. Anxiety and depression due to health problems. Insomnia now too (3-4 hours/night). I used to laugh and chuckle at the "commit that..." jokes on here but now it's not as funny 
. Hope all the coli brehs dealing with these shyts find a better life. Peace.

I've been feeling like a chef with a blob of dough in front of me and I just don't know what to do with it. just unmotivated, uninspired, all that. since then, I've been reading, talking to my mentor, working out and it's been cool
How are you doing now? Are you feeling better?

Been seeing a whole bunch of lame shyt online and around my family and it’s made me fall into a apathetic slump.
Need a hard reset on many things in my life.

Been dealing with anger and depression issues lately. I feel alone but don’t want to bother anyone with my problems. Been drinking heavy lately too, relationships going nowhere, now at the gym and ended up dropping the weight because I thought I could lift it (used to).
I’ve been losing weight, not sleeping well, I feel like everyone is against me sometimes.
