Lately I have been really down. Any
little thing makes me feel real emotional.
I have to cry myself to sleep sometimes
at night cause of things just seem not tha
same anymore. I get dizzy and nausrtias
lately and just everything that is on my
mind comes bottling down on me, what is
wrong??? I dont know what it is, but I
just hate the feeling. Any know what I am
talking about or what is wrong?

Angel,
you state symptoms but give no information
that would help us help you.
Like your age might be the issue - my
impression is of a young girl - so could
it be hormonal - either to do with first
getting periods, first sex or possibly
being pregnant?
Or are you going through some major life
changes - family break up or loss, school
ending & new unknown life starting or
major exams scaring you or moving house to
another town or whatever??
Have your eating patterns changed? What
is your general health like (same or
diferent to before this started? You say
this has been lately but how long is that
in fact - 1 week, 1 month, 3 months?? Has
anything like this happened to you before
or to anyone else in your family??
In the meantime you could try some basic
"coping" techniques like - when you start
to feel overly emotional take some deep
breaths, go do something else somewhere
else, use imagery so practise imagining a
really peaceful scene & keep
practising bringing that scene into your
mind (start learning this when you aren't
all emotional!!) something that you find
relaxing & restful something that will
help you calm down & feel good. You
might also get a dvd or video of yoga
which has both exercises & meditation
this could also assist you - some of the
exercises are also good for nausea.
You might also consider when/where this
happens & try to avoid the
situation/place if possible or at least to
prepare yourself for it if you can't avoid
it.

Thanx Posted: 04-18-04 13:56pm
Sorry I didnt state to much about myself.
I am 17 and a couple of years ago my
parents did go through a divorce. For
my brother, he didnt take it as hard, but
for me I am still tryin to get over it, I
hate the fact that they are seperated and
that my dad lives so far away, to me its
like I am growing without him. So that
is a big whole in my life right now, my
eating changes vary every now and then,
when I am depressed I can eat anything I
just feel nausiated, I have bin havin all
thz different emotions for a couple of
months now, sometimes I just ignore it and
try to put it in the back of my head,
other times I just feel so much pain and
suicidal thoughts come into my head, I
have had a history of popping pills and
cutting myself a couple times as well,
anything else that you need to know I am
here

Angel, I have just a seen a couple of
other posts from you (re sex & nose
bleeds) I don't know if there are any
others but it seems abit as if your whole
system is affected so although obviously
your family situation is a factor I think
that you should talk to a dr (or school
nurse or local clinic) about all of the
things that are causing you problems as
they may be connected.
Sometimes when one part of our body is
unwell/upset it affects other parts &
then a viscious circle starts & until
you intervene to stop the cycle it keeps
getting worse.
But that said, you do have to accept that
your parents are divorced & if you can
not visit your dad you have to accept that
too - I mean he may not want you - which
is lousy - that happened to me so I know,
but at least you had him for a long time
or maybe you just have to wait until
things alter for him & or you before
you can visit, either way you have to come
to terms with it & make peace with
yourself so you can get on with your
life.
Given the bleeding & the pain with sex
& the nausea when you eat & the
sadness etc I suspect it's all just part
of the upset about your parents - in which
case you need to see a counsellor but it
may be a more serious health issue so you
should seek medical advice.

hi angel-
i think purple is right about everything
being connected and has given you lots of
good advice i'm a big fan of
cbt and hope you can find a counselor that
can teach you cbt, but any type of
counseling will be a great start for you
at this point. Take care and keep posting
