I Think Something is Wrong With Me???? I Don't Feel Like Myself...

Question

For the past few months, i haven't been feeling like myself. Here are some of the things i have noticed:

- feelings of anger, fits of rage

-almost constant sadness

-feeling helpless, unworthy, and unloved

-i often feel like there is a dark cloud over my head and i can't think straight. Almost a dizzy feeling, but not quite

-loss of appetite

What do you think is wrong with me? I used to be on a very, very low dose of Prozac, but got off less than a year ago under the supervision of a psychiatrist. He said the drug probably wasn't working because of my very low body weight (i am recovering from an eating disorder) so he advised i get off of it. I really hate to feel dependent on drugs, and i really hate to get back on, but i feel miserable. What is wrong with me? (oh and i am a 17 year old female)

Answer 1

Sounds like your overdosing on stress. Stress will cause the physical symptoms you described. Since you don't want to become dependent on pills I would suggest you start Yoga. Fit TV has a show called Inhale that uses more modern music so someone your age might enjoy it. Yoga is a great way to relieve stess. You could also try meditating and exercising if yoga isn't your thing.  

Answer 2

tell me something about your social life is their a traumatic event that you are still reliving. you dont need the drugs just think about were the feelings are coming from

Answer 3

You're stressed. Probably depressed as well.

I'm not sure how to help you, however. If you figure it out, let me know. :)) lol

Answer 4

stress and depression can make all those feelings come up.  it sounds like you are under a lot of stress right now because of your parents so you might think to go and talk to someone about your situation, a counselor or psychiatrist.  try to find one who won't say "be on this med, and this one, and this one." drugs can be helpful but to often they become a crutch.  i am glad to read that you are doing better with your relationship with food, but I am really sure that it's just the overload of stress your under, and just need some one to help you, to have someone (other than your parents) to talk about how you feel and what you can do to feel better.  i wish you the best of luck

Answer 5

you could just have Bipolar syndrome It is where you are depressed alot and have basically the same side affects as people with Bipolar syndrome D= good luck...
