What is wrong with me?
Question:
Answers:
I've got news for you... every once in a while... however long you live... these episodes will happen to you... usually because you've either got summat on your mind that distracts from everything else... and so even when the worrying over and the issue that has troubled you resolved... you sorta get a jet lag of the pent up emotions that you've held in check... and you can't quite summon up the enrgy for anything else... even though you want to and had been looking forward to something else as well... it's part and parcel of life... of being human.
Your brain can hold a zillion things more than any manufactured computer is ever going to be able to... but like a computer... it can have a hiccup and overload at times... you don't need a technician to put yours rigt again though.. all you need is to slow down and take it easy on yourself and allow yourself to relax and stop 'expecting' too much of yourself.
Stop affording yourself deadlines... stop judging yourself by the standards of societies expectations of you... since they change like clothing changes fashion on an annual basis... and what was fashionable last year in the field of psychology... will be damned as a helpful tool by the time you finish getting counselling;-)
It's not depression... not even boredom... it's part of growing... not growing up... just growing and advancing and developing throughout the life time you've been allocated.
Not one of us... be we eight or eighty-eight... has never had these episodes and few of of us are seriously damaged by them... if anything... they are like resting posts around the pitch of life... where we need to stop and take a breath... take stock and rethink about ourselves... our needs... our values... and the route that we are on... and in the young... it's more than likely they are staging posts of understanding yourself as opposed to understaning everyone elses expectations of you.
You're merely shifting gear and getting ready for the off... in your own direction;-)
And trust me... whether your are boy, or man... girl, or woman... you'll hit these stages always at some point... terrible twos... teen blues... post natal depression... monthly blues... adolescent angst... midlife crisis... retirement fears... but each and every time you will survive them... and look back on them all with understanding of the stages that they were and they'll be the markers you will carry to the end... thestages you'll know where you have grown and turned each corener and developed further.
Oldie... whose currently just had one of these episodes herself... and refused to be beaten by it... because experience shows me it will pass... and I will have learned summat new again;-)
Hang in there and don't be bullied or cajoled into thinking anything is wrong with you... you're being human... s'all!
My answer is my dog... I cuddle her and walk her legs off... and for days I know I'm looking down and wrapped inside the need to hide away... until... within a week or so... I'm looking up and out and at the sky and seeing, feeling, smelling life again... and trust me... it is wonderful. And will be for you again... very, very, soon.
Stop judging yourself... stop demanding of yourself... stop looking for things wrong with yourself... and just let yourself be who you really are... just be you... not influenced by anything you see and hear and read... and smell the world around you.
God Bless Sunshine.
You have a severe dose of the 'Fuc*its', that's all!
Sounds like you are depressed.
How old are you? I used to feel like that all the time when I was 13 or 14. Don't worry it will soon pass and you'll feel like everyone else. GOOD LUCK!
Boredom to a major extreme. I've gone through it plenty of times. You want something to do... but you don't want to do it. It may be described as laziness... but I prefer to call it "relaxation" ha ha. It's hard to get out of this groove, it may take several days (or months) to just wait it out. You're going to have to just move, do something. Ride your bike, go bowling, play some games online at least.
My suggestion, get a GOOD night's sleep, and that day do something even if you don't want to. Hit the mall, maybe a movie or 2, once you're out in public you'll feel better.
It's called being a teenager.
Sorry, it'll pass when you're at least 18 (40 in some cases) and you'll start developing motivation.
Boredom is one of the most stressful things a person can deal with. Sounds silly, I know, but it's a fact. It's also a contributing factor of depression. While I don't think you're depressed yet (I'm a diagnosed severe depressive so I have some experience with this), you're heading that way but at least you recognise that something isn't right, which is a good sign. The good news is there is an easy cure at this stage: even if you don't feel like doing something, do it anyway. You need to get out and spend time with other people - it will break the funk and you will get your energy back. I know it's going to feel like climbing a mountain, but once you make the first step it will get easier and you will feel better. By isolating yourself, you're allowing yourself to wallow and things are just going to get worse. Go on, give it some welly - you can do it!
Could be mild depression. #1 - get out of the house!! take a walk, get some sunshine, dress up (sometimes that makes people feel better. #2 - you need some inspiration and you won't get it in front of a computer. As far as your braces, take some ibuprofen or other pain reliever. and exercise your mouth by opening and closing it. They take awhile to get used to but after awhile you won't know they are there.
A bit of teenage angst - weve all had it!
consult yur dentist regardin headache after braces.check whether u need vitamin supplements&other nutrients.take the iniative to do somethin interestin in yur life , i mean the present stage .that way, u wont feel later on that u waisted this peroid of yur life. cheer up
First of all, deal with the headache and help yourself to feel better physically.
Secondly, you are probably feeling 'normless' i.e. your normal routine has gone and you now need to make a lot of your own decisions about what to do next. The pressure is generally off and self motivation is a bit on the 'weak' side!
So choose three things that you would really like to do. You will need a stopwatch, clock or wristwatch.
Do the first one for 5 minutes - stick at it just for 5 minutes, then stop. Have a break and do nothing for 5 minutes.
Do the second thing - stick at it for 5 minutes, then stop.
Break for 5 minutes, do nothing.
Do the third thing for 5 minutes, then stop.
Do nothing for 5 minutes.
By this time 30 minutes will have gone by. Assess what you have done. Choose the activity you liked best, then do it for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, assess how you feel. Did you enjoy it? Was it worthwhile? Would you like to continue or do something else?
All this may seem a bit strange, but what I am saying is that you need to make your own timetable. Choose things you'd like to do and do them for a set time, then change to something else. Spend some time (say 10 minutes) doing absolutely nothing. You'll find that the times you spend doing something generate their own value and your feelings of enjoyment will change.
Try it and see. Your brain hasn't been taken over, but you are surely feeling at a loose end, with no goals that anyone has set for you.
Split your day into your own 'timetable slots' and do lots of different things, some that you have done before and some new and different things; make sure that you spend some time WITH OTHERS, some time doing things FOR other people, some time doing things for YOURSELF. The days will go by and you'll feel a sense of achievement and enjoyment.
Hormones probably. You are neither a child or grown up a horrible phase to be in and I remember it well. It will pass.
Sounds like seasonal affective disorder (SAD). People usually get it in the winter with the bleak weather and dark evenings but coz we've not had much of a summer some people have not got over it.
Re: the headaches - why not have an eye test and in the mean time take a paracetamol and have a lie down - it works for me xx
it sounds like u have depression it sounds like ur still young like living wit ur rents and all and if thats the case disgus it w/ them first the best thing to do i think would be go see a dactor and tell him wats going on if its a physical problem and if its not he'll probly tell u to go see a phycitris** to diagnose u if u have a mental illness and if he doesnt say its physical and doesnt say anything after that make shure to either ak him or find one.
