What's wrong with me? Someone please help!?

Question

I don't know what's wrong with me.

Background info: I'm 17. In my senior year of high school. Was always very active.

This has happened for the past 4 months. I want to cry. I don't find stuff fun anymore. (I used to like playing basketball and shopping and going to the movies.) I don't want to hang out with my friends. I just kinda want to sit at home all day and do nothing. I feel like i need to eat, but i'm not hungry. I feel like I can't trust anyone and I need people to like me but I don't want to be around anyone. I have so much to do in school and life that I'm stressing out instead of just doing it like i used to. I go places like school and church and paint on a giant happy face, and make jokes, so no one know about this, but it's finally to the point where I can't take it. I had a mental breakdown yesterday and just started crying hysterically when I was alone.

Answer 1

Something terrible has happened to you in the past, and you can't seem to get over it... try going to a concoler/theraphist or something...

Answer 2

Unfortunately there is probably little one can say here that would be very helpful to you. If you have any access to a psychologist I recommend you see one, even though lots of people are against the idea of therapy. Think about practical solutions, not ones based on ideology. Eat bananas and drink even if you don't have an appetite...you have to consume a certain number of calories after all. Even if you feel like you are the only one going through what you are going through, know this is only the case on a superficial level -- only you are going through exactly what you are going through, but certainly others are experiencing something very similar that generates the same feelings and symptoms. And get help from a professional, ask for references if you can...it's very important for you to find someone with whom you can talk.

Answer 3

well life has many stages and never stays the same...and so trying to adapt to those changes, or to grow with the changes which are happening in your life, can always create some sort of inner turmoil..Now, in itself, crying is not a bad thing, and is actually good, and can be like a cleansing to the soul, but, it obviously is painful and uncomfortable while happening.

Personally, I think discipline is the key to managing our lives properly. It's amazing how one feels after gettin the proper amount of sleep, and then is motivated to make and eat proper meals, and is then feeling energized enough to get some excercise. It then becomes easier to manage your responsibilities, and then, once you start getting out, and start talking to people, you will definately start feeling so much better.

to be confined to your room, and not to socialize, and to eat constantly, is definately not the answer, and will only harm you....Please take care of yourself, for this is the only chance at life you will have, and we want to make God proud of us !

Answer 4

Honestly I would recommend you talk with your church pastor or a good counselor about this especially since they will know you more.  

I wouldn't put it off either and it does help to talk to someone about it.  Maybe even a doctor?  It does sound like it could be depression possibly?

Answer 5

Sounds like depression. I would go to your doctor, it is probably brought on by hormones.  There is a solution to this I promise you.  Just go see what is wrong...

Answer 6

Tell your parents how you are feeling and ask them if they will take you to a therapist or counselor.  

Often mental illness will begin in late teenage years, if you can get it diagnosed properly and treated you should be back on track in no time.

Best of luck to you!!!

Answer 7

You may be anxious/depressed.  This can sneak up on you when you don't even realize it, I am a high acheiving student about to start my senior year amd last year went through very much the same thing.  Went and talked to a psycologist and figured out that I had to stop doing things because I felt like I had to do them, and I needed to figure out what made me happy.  I would try to see someone, it can be very helpful.

Answer 8

Perhaps you are experiencing depression.  Have you considered seeing a doctor?

Answer 9

It might be something or just being a teen.  If you can talk to your mom or dad.  If you can't talk to them talk to the school nurse.  Call the number listed below.  

When I was young I was always trying to make people believe I was happy when I was very sad inside.  Good luck and Blessed Be

Answer 10

Sounds like you have too much going on in your life. Senior year is a very stressful time. You are trying to decide what you want to do with your life, high school is ending, friends will separate and its time to grow up and really take your future seriously. But the good news is, you are still so very young-if you are that stressed out-you need to take a step back and evaluate what is really important. Are you doing too many activites, spreading yourself too thin? Do you work and go to school and try to fit in all these extra things?

IN order to make things better though, you first must figure out exactly what it is that is bothering you. Your best bet is to talk to SOMEONE. Family, friends, teacher, priest, somebody you trust. Get to the root of what is bothering you and see what you can do to change it. good luck!

Answer 11

it sounds like you have depression - go to the doctor and pick up some medicine!

Answer 12

Sounds like it could be depression, possibly clinical depression.

Or it could be the "mad at the world" phase that teenagers go through around your age ( you'd be a bit late, but it could be.

See your doctor and find out for sure.

Answer 13

It could be a number of things that needs a professionals opinion. There is nothing wrong for seeking out help. Contact a counselor, and maybe a medical doctor if you think the feeling could be caused from something like mono. I've been seeing a counselor at my university for a couple of years now. I don't have any major psychological problems, but she really helps me feel like I can keep my life in order and it de-stresses me big time. If this problem you feel is really getting in the way of your life, please, PLEASE seek help from a professional.

Answer 14

Ask in psychology. I did and they opened my eyes. I didn't just take their word for it I checked it all out. Then I was like wow, I wish I would have known this a long time ago.

p.s. I have add if your wondering.
