I don't know..

[ChildishFears]

A few patches of my hair have fallen out and my hair seems to be getting thinner and thinner....went to the doctor for it, she said that it's caused by 'emotional stress' I need to see a psychiatrist about it. My mother basically said it was nonsense and I just need to put some ointment on it and stop stressing out and things will be okay.

I just don't feel the same....I mean I've stressed myself out (unnecessarily) plently of times before and this hasn't happened...oh well, not sure anymore.

I get so stressed out over the little things and I don't know why, I'm unemployed, doing nothing productive with my life and I don't believe I'm going to be transferring into a University for the Fall semester. I just feel like I'm going to be stuck in this state forever. I mean, for the second time in literally a month, I stepped foot out of the house (first was to go to the urgent care across the street from my house). I don't know what the hell is wrong with me anymore. It's not that I have any debilitating social anxiety or whatever either...I just feel like I'm going completely insane most days. I'm 22 f'ing years old and I just feel too low to do anything anymore. Idk why.

Dear one,

I'm sorry you are going through such a difficult time. It sounds like you could have some things going on physically, and for me, I couldn't get balanced emotionally or spiritually while my body was in crisis. Have you seen a doc and told them you suspect depression and discussed meds. They are not a cure all, but the right med can level the playing feeled so we can get our bearings and begin working of the other things. I also would suggest having hormones checked because hormonal imbalance can make you feel crazy. I know, it was a large part of my depression. Also, begin cutting back on sugar, processed foods and caffeine, if you use these. They mess up blood sugar, which also can cause the feelings you describe.

I'll be praying for you. If you'd like some suggestions on healthy food choices, please feel free to ask. Also, remember, Jesus said, "come to Me all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest for your souls. My yoke is easy. My burden is light." He wants to carry this weight for you.

Keeping you in prayer. Please stay in touch here. We care,
A

I'm sorry things are so tough
I agree with miss A, you need to see your doc and try anti depressants, they can help you deal with issues.
Be kin to yourself, sweetie

Thank you for the responses,


I guess the problem is that when the doctor strongly suggest that I see a psychiatrist; my mom acted as though she was okay with that, but after wards she basically blew off the suggestion as nonsense. My mom basically just asked me to see a career counselor instead, because she thinks that my depression stems at least in part with not knowing exactly what I want to do with my life. While that's partially the case, it's definitely doesn't even touch the root of the issue of why I feel the way I do.

That's hard.
Can you talk to your mom and explain that you feel a psychiatrist would help?
I hope you can find a resolution to this, sweetie, and get the help that you need.

I don't think I can, but it's alright I guess, I'll just figure something out, I don't know.
My mom is kinda those "Put a smile on your face" when things get cr*ppy, constantly in denial about the true state of things, or if she isn't, then she sure knows how to act like it.
