How do I let them know there's something wrong with me?
Question:
And then other times I'll feel incredibly happy, like I just don't care about anything at all and absolutely nothing could burst my bubble, and I'm hyper all the time.
And sometimes I feel like I'm just not real, and everyday has sort of a dreamy feel to it, like I'm watching my life on a TV, and I ignore everyone and sort of seclude myself.
I don't want there to be anything wrong with me, but I feel like there is. It's been going on for over 2 years now. I want to tell my family about this, but I don't know how to do that without seeming like I'm just looking for attention.
How do I tell them there's something wrong with me, and that I'm scared?
Answers:
tell them you want to talk to a therapist. sounds like a form of depression.
- they might prescribe pills. depends on who you see. some dont like to prescribe. some prescribe and then ween you off of them within a month. some love to pass pills like candy. you have to do research and find one that fits what you are looking to accomplish. mian difference is - psychologists cant prescribe drugs, psychiatrists can.
also, its easier to talk to therapists about what your troubles are than someone you know. its the same concept of why you dont worry about talking to internet people.
honesty is the best thing you can do..
when i was younger i used to feel the same way(still do sometimes) take control of your life take some risks when you are in control and thinking for yourself the dreamy feeling will subside
All you have to say is Hey Mom,Dad i`m nuts...commit me to the lunatic asylum now..!..hope this was helpful
When there is something really wrong with someone there is no need to tell. People spot very fast if the person is not quite right. In your case, it sounds like a communication problem. Like you don't have the right to be who you want to be. Seek advice from a psychologist, but my take is that you should be more assertive and if you really are as moody as you say, then if they don't mind, why feel guilty ?
Ohhh, totally normal. Hormones. That's all it is. Or, go see your Dr. just to make you feel better, you can ask your Mom or a female to take you if t makes you feel better. Oh, don't let things go on in your life for 2 years with out talking to someone, unnecessary stress!
well first u should probably go c a doctor and get checked who knows maybe its just a phase trust me ive been their done that sometimes i feel tha same way!its sumthn' everybody goes through in some point of their life it may have just now hit u!dont worrie if its been going on 4 about 2 years it will probably be over in about a month or two just dont think bout it so much!u r ok and if it does not go away then definatly tell ur parents trust me they will understand!well good luck
You need to either talk to your parents or a school counselor because you sound like you have a form of depression!Don't be ashamed or scared to ask for help though because it's not anything to feel bad about!Good luck!
Honey, I bet your young right? Your hormones are raging..it is perfectly normal for you to go to ups and downs...a good way to help this is to get some black cohosh root. Dont take anything to seriously when you are going up and down for right now..it will pass as soon as the hormones balance..it is all part of nature...I was like this to. I didnt get out of it for two and a half years then it all went stable...your blood sugars are out of whack when your hormones are...keep garlic in your diet and when you feel really low take some and see if it doesnt pull you out of it. A really good way to help it pass is to plan things for your future...go to thesecret.tv, enter, go to secret gifts, then scroll to the woman and play it...it helps you to know this...dont give your attention to the bad, what you give your attention to grows, so keep good thoughts in your head...be honest with your family, let them know your afraid and ask for their help. You might want to get checked out for a hormone imbalance...it would help also...give yourself some time to get thru this...hope it helps
It depends why you want to tell them. If you want help maybe it would be best to talk to someone you are comfortable with. If you don't have anyone, maybe you can talk to someone at church, school, work, or elsewhere you can talk to someone that won't form an opinion of you. You could talk to one person in your family about it. You may even be surprised by their response. I know it's a little selfish, but I'm always happy when someone confides in me. BTW- It's okay to want attention. We all do at times. It just depends what you do to get attention.
Hon, gather up your mom and dad and tell them exactly what you have just written here. We parents would rather have you come to us than come to the internet. Mom and dad love you and want the best for you, so please, go talk with them. Turn off the TV, computer and phones and TALK!! They will listen, I promise. You sound depressed, or bipolar, or something. You need professional help and mom and dad can help you.
You seem to fit the description for Bipolar disorder. You are experiencing manic episodes where nothing bothers you then out of no where hitting the lows where life sucks no matter what. There are several mood stabilizing meds out there for mental disorders such as this. You need to talk with a doc and explain your issues. You can fist go to Webmd.com and research Bipolar type 1 and 2 and decide if you feel you are fitting the criteria
Oh, sweetie, don't be scared. This has been going on too long, and you need relief. I've been there, it sounds like you have depression. Pick the person in your family you trust the most, and tell them what you're feeling. You could also go to your doctor, who could refer you to a good therapist. You need someone to talk to at the very least, and it may be that you could benefit from some medication. But don't wait any longer, there's no need for you to live your life this way, it's much too hard. Good luck...I'm sure you'll be doing better soon, but you have to ask for help.
Hi again. I see you're worried about medications. There are a lot of very good ones out there nowadays, ones that won't "mess with your mind". It's just like if you were diabetic and had to take medicine for that. You're missing some chemicals in your body that make you feel okay, and you need to replace them. But that's a decision a physician needs to make. A therapist won't make you take meds, but may suggest them if he or she feels it's warranted.
You didn't state your age, so I'm going to guess a very young woman. And I do agree with 'Friday', hormones do crazy things to us women. I am a whole lot older than you, and I too have those days. They aren't fun, and sometimes feel impossible to deal with. Go to your family doctor or an OBGYN. There are so many different things that can cause depression, anxiety, etc. It's best to see a doctor. And your Mother is not going to think you are crazy, just talk to her. I'm sure she's been through it as well. After all, she is a woman too. Good luck to you.
