How to deal with major stress?!


Question:

How to deal with major stress?

This is a very complex situation.Thanks to everyone on here, yesterday I discovered I suffer from mild depression. But I'm not sure if it's involved in this new problem. Well, not so much new as it is coming to my awareness. I've been very stressed lately. I've always been stressed my whole life; it was just natural. But now it's out of cotnrol. I can't sleep, I've been overeating and gained a few pounds, and I find myself sinking lower into my depression with the weight of the world on my shoulders. I'm not too busy, or anything. I just want to do something productive with my summer (like outdoor hiking or running, but I can't with my asthma) and I can't seem to find the right circumstances to do it. There's always something wrong in my life. I want to relax, but I feel if I take a day off then I'm letting everyone down and that if I don't ride my horse one day, or if I try to take a nap or take some general time off, then I just have that much more work to do. Help! I'm on overload!

Oh yeah; I'm fourteen. FOURTEEN! This is NOT normal for a fourteen-year-old! I mean, my thirteen year old sister is normal and has the same pressures as I do, but somehow mine are worse.


Answers:

You need to get sleep. I think that is the biggest problem. When you don't get enough sleep you're going to be more susceptible to stress. See your doctor about this.
