When you're stressed you get depressed & when you're depressed you get stressed >> so you first need to relax. Second re the am I crazy - probably not but if there's a history in your family of mental illness get yourself checked if you feel that it will help you deal & get on with life.

A couple of personal development course would probably help - like assertiveness also self-esteem - these should help you to react appropriately(not yell or cry but handle situations better - they may even help you deal with your father - much of the issue there may be to do with you being an adult & needing space etc but him seeing you as his baby!! - or perhaps it's also to do with you not handling things better??)

as to finances i'd suggest you write down all that you choose to spend money on for a week & then consider whether you're using your money wisely or not & see where you can adjust/alter your spending so that you don't have so many worries in this area.

Your body may well be acting up purely due to stress which can also cause periods to disappear !!!!

No you are not crazy. You just have a lot of stresses in your life. That can cause a depression. Your period could be gone b/c of the stress, that can happen.

It does sound like you are not dealing w/the stress very well, a little overwhelmed. Sometimes when we are depressed, it's hard to deal with stress that we normally do okay with.

Go online and take a depressoin quiz and see if you have a lot of the symptoms. You might try talking to a counselor or going to see your doctor. Good luck!! Things will get better!

Your not crazy. I thought I was going mad. I had this ticking noise in my head every time I had a stressfull situation. Just like a bomb waiting to go off. It did go off 4 months ago in my managers office at work. I was given a email from head office telling the manager she had to do something about my mood, attitude and other things that I dont remember. I burst into tears and cried for at least an hour before getting my self together and going to the doctor. I was offered counseling and given a perscription.
If you got to the doctor, chech out all the options if you are depressed. Ive had 6 weeks counseling, read 2 books and got the medicine and still know theres a long way to go. What makes it hard is im a 29 year old male. Good luck

Hello callie,

i can give you some of the biological reasons why you feel the way you do.


When you are under stress stress hormone interfere with the production of your 'happy hormone" such as serotonin. This can cause depression. Usually when the stress situation has been resolved most people start producing serotonin again and everything seems to be going alright.


However some people do not seem to recover from the stress reaction and continue to be upset and depressed. Thus the question is whether this is endogenous depression or environmental depression. Generally if you know why you are depressed it most likely to be environmental depression, but if you do not understand why you are depressed or so easily upset it could be endogenous depression.


There are many reasons how people become depressed because of physiological reasons. One is a genetic predisposition inherited from the family. The fact that you said your father is yelling at you, may indicate that he is not always in control of his emotions either.


Whether inherited or not, a lot can be done by yourself if you consider depression to be due to a health problem rather than a mental problem.


Many experts think - I believe wrongly - that depression is due to wrong attitudes and belief systems, and that you can be talked out of depression by long talking sessions with a psychologist. I believe that depressive thoughts are symptoms of an underlying biochemical disorder - contributing to depression - and not the causes of depression. Therefore you cannot be talked out of a physiological disease.


There are many biochemical reasons why people are depressed, and most of it has to do how our body produces the right neurotransmitters from the food we eat.


It has been found that many depressed people have insulin resistance (hypoglycemia) that can be treated in a change of diet. By adopting the hypoglycemic diet, we can lessen the unstable blood sugar levels, insulin and stress hormone levels that causes us so often to be emotionally upset without a proper reason.


Thus I suggest that you investigate the connection between depression and hypoglycemia and then discuss this with a therapist.


You can test yourself for hypoglycemia with the nbi at our web site. It is at:
