Do You All Think This Is Normal?!


Question: Do You All Think This Is Normal!?
Ok, so I'm usually a pretty stable person, but recently, I've gotten really sensitive to things people say and I cry a lot!. I've lost 15 pounds in about 2 months and sleep all day!. Is this normal behavior for somebody my age!? (I'm 17)Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
When your a teenager there isn't really a 'norm'!.

If you were a girl you probably wouldn't even question this behaviour as teenage girls are well known to fluctuate in moods and behaviours!.

You have to remember that guys have hormones too!. Our moods can just as easily change it's just that in modern society guys are taught not to express mood changes and encouraged to be more emotionally stable, gererally speaking!.

I'm 19 and still going through puberty!. There are certain times where trivial issues will really effect me emotionally (I cried at the Lion King the other day; first time I cried in two years haha)!. It's just hormones though bro, don't worry about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's changes in growth and hormones and stuff!.

Sleeping all day is a sign of depression!. This sounds like me when I was seventeen!. I lost weight, did nothing but lie in bed, sad, angry, listen to music, and lost a lot of weight (like 28 size jeans)!. I couldn't even go to school because I just couldn't accept myself!. Talk to your family to determine what's going on!.

Don't feel intimidated at school like you have to be somebody!.

"You need to love yourself before you love other people!." I'm still trying to understand this!. Laugh if anyone wants to, but I am!.

I'm very sensitive too!. Don't feel bad about it, girls like it once you get to know some well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like you might be suffering from depression!. I have personally suffered depression and severe anxiety for years now, so I know exactly how you feel!. I would talk to your parents or a close adult friend or relative that you trust about this problem, and go to your physician!. They can easily recommend a good therapist or psychiatrist for you, or put you on some antidepressants!. I know some people don't want to resort to therapy or meds, but they really do help, trust me!.

Like I said, I've been through it, so feel free to email me anytime!. I would be more than glad to help in any way I can!
Good luck! =]

i would try going to a therapist, or at least asking your family physician about depression!. i know a lot of people think teenagers are supposed to be brooding, but if you feel like this consistently for a long period of time, it's probably clinical depression, NO MATTER WHAT AGE YOU ARE!.
Weightloss, lethargy, etc are all symptoms of depression!.

It's possible that it's a phase but I would reccomend you talk to a school counselor about it or your doctor as you might be depressed!. Sometimes it's also good therapy to just talk to someone (a friend) about it!.

I used to suffer from major depression and it ate away at my life!. One day I met a girl at a new job I had and she saw the scars I carried on my arms!. She was very open to me and said that when she gets really down she pulls out her hair!. We bonded instantly and just talked about our pain together!. It was the best therapy I ever had just to talk to someone who was going through the same thing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well, getting really sensitive sounds normal!. just your hormones acting up!. that's usually a result from stress!. Now the loosing weight, that's an issue!. Are you eating atleast 2000 cal a day!? And the sleeping, that can be a result of not eating!. Also, it might be a good idea if you exercised some or more than what u already are doingWww@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think it's normal and it sounds like depression to me!. (Unfortunately i have the same problem)!. The best thing to do is to see a therapist or a psychologist!.

Sometimes being down like that can be a phase, but some people just shrug more serious underlying issues as that!. Think about it and see if you need to talk to someone!.




Take care and things will get better with a little help :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hya,

Umm no, it doesn't sound right to me hun, I think a trip to the doctor to check you out would be the best step!. it could be you have an iron deficiency/underactive-overactive thyroid gland etc etc i'm sure a blood test would help rule these out!. put your mind at rest and make an appointment :)

take care

very normal!.

and you should take steps to talking out your feelings, etc, with friends or loved ones or even a blog or journal, to avoid being like this in the future or developing stress symptoms, or even anxiety!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes!. it could simply be hormonal changes!. or you could be depressed!. you need to try and evaluate the situation and if it is the latter seek help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no!.!.!. i think ur depressed the sooner u talk to a professional like a doctor to connect you with a psychiatrist , the better you would do for yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

has this been going on for a while!?
if it's been going on for two months, it isn't normal!.
there's a chance it's depression, especially since you're a teenager, or it could just be hormones!.

I wouldn't say that it's normal really!. Just unsual!. Wait a week and if it's still going on, I'd suggest going to a doctor to see if something is wrong!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Go and see a doctor!. You are probably suffering from depression!. (Lack of sleep, loss of appetite!.) It's very serious!. This is not normal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
