Explain what's happening to me?!
Question: Life has been ok for me, I guess. But maybe I'm just being overdramatic or something.
It's just that lately, I've been miserable. I'm been lashing out at my parents, by boyfriend, my brother... I even threatened to kick my friends *** the other day. I always put on that happy face in school in front of my friends, but when I'm home or alone, I quit the act, and seclude myself. I find myself suddenly crying hysterically over the small things, like my boyfriend cancelling on me. I'm noticing now that I'm TALKING to myself when I'm alone. It's really difficult to fall asleep at night, and if I do, I usually wake up a few hours later. When I'm sleeping, I usually have bad dreams, and wake up really upset or crying. I feel the happiest when I'm with my boyfriend, and that's when I feel the best about myself, too.
Now that I actually wrote this all down, I'm realizing that I must seem completely mental.

Depression and Anxiety are extremely common. You are not completely mental.
At your age, you probably have a very bad case of hormonal imbalance. The hormones are affecting your mood. On top of that, you have stress. That is a physical reaction that your body has to stress triggers in your life. You probably have some stress triggers like school, parents, romantic relationships, etc. Difficulty sleeping and tearfulness are symptoms of depression. It has been scientifically proven that infatuation causes a mood elevation so it is normal that you feel better around your boyfriend, but since you can't wear him around constantly, that's not a complete solution to your problem.
The good news is that your hormones will settle down in a few years. The other good news is that if the problem is severe enough, which is sounds as if it may be, your doctor has something that can help you through until them. Actually, birth control pills can help a little with calming your hormones down. Anti-depressants might help, but be careful. There is some concern about teens who became suicidal while taking antidepressants. I'm also not sure if doctors know enough about the long term effects of anti-depressants in teens whose brains are in such an active stage of development.
There are herbal anti-depressants that you can get without a prescrtiption. St. John's Wort is available. A hops/valerian blend is helpful is providing a calming effect. It would be much, much better, though, to talk to your doctor. Your doctor may be able to offer you medication that costs very little, maybe $4 a month, that could really help.
Avoid caffeine COMPLETELY. It will take several days to get rid of it completely, and you may get a headache for a few days, if you are mildly addicted. Getting rid of caffeine will really, really help with the difficultly sleeping and the talking to yourself. I have trouble kicking the caffeine habit, and I've proved that connection between the sleeping and self-talk many, many times.
If you feel like you want to hurt yourself, get help immediately. Tell a teacher, a parent, call 911, call a suicide hotline, drive yourself to the emergency room, go see your family doctor. Get help.
Good luck!
you are probably just having a hard time.. everyone gets that way sometimes.try and hang out with your boyfriend more often and try not to be alone. it might help.
maybe its just that u have 2 much goin on in your life!
Hugz!
You are normal and need someone to talk to!
You aren't mental. You are probably suffering from some type of depression or anxiety disorder. I would recomment talking to a doctor or psychologist. These types of things are hard to diagnose online. Also, tell your boyfriend how you are feeling. If you feel happiest around him, he could be able to help you. Hope everything works out okay! =]]
It could be teenage angst. I don't know how old you are but the hormones in the teenage years can be tremedously upsetting...
Just knowing this and that it will pass might calm you down some
If you knew what goes on in the heads of lots of people you would not consider yourself mental.
Give yourself time and wait it out.
Be patient with yourself.
If you find yourself still suffering after awhile and feel you can't cope by yourself there's no shame in going for counseling...it takes a strong persont to admit they need help.
In the meantime keep with the things that make y ou feel good...spend as much time with your boyfriend as you both feel comfortable with.
Good luck.....
try to control your tamper,ask your self why you do this is there something make you nerves?if you couldnot fix your self ask doctor help may be there is somthing out of your control
i'm like that..thing is I get angry and have a go at my parents and sister , i don't cry. but still feel miserable. and i talk to myself all the time it's like someone's talking to me , i don't find that annoying.
one thing i find that helps is to do things to make yourself happy, then try n understand what's going on and try to unterstand yourself, like when you start crying, think deeply about things , you'll probably find secrets within your mind that you didn't really know of. things about the inner 'you'
Firstly, you are not being overdramatic.; How you feel is very important and should not be ignored.
It seems to me that you are either unhappy about something, or that you may be experiencing some physical changes which are affecting your mood.
Without much more information I cannot help much more and really the best thing you can do is talk to someone who can tell if your feelings are about what is happening in your life or what is happening in your body.
