12 year old girl - Paranoia, Anxiety and Depression stressed out and in tears?
The first and most important thing right now dear is to get yourself stabilized emotionally and mentally. Forget about everything else for awhile because nothing is going to go well until you are mentally healthy and balanced. You can and will get back to your studies later. Put them aside for now and work away at them as you feel you can.....I have to say that I am really surprised that your parents or school teachers have not noticed this in you after 5 years. Have you not mentioned this to anyone at all? Start now. Talk to your mom and/or dad, aunt or uncle, a friends mom, someone who is aware of mental illnesses and will help you, and do not stop trying if no one listens. Call your doctor and go, but stay safe always. Call the help line where there are many people trained who will listen and help you. No matter what, you have to deal with this and anything else you are keeping secret within yourself. You can also start keeping a journal and write about your feelings, thoughts, and anything else that may have caused you pain of any kind. You are also right. This will not get better and it may get worse, so put this down as the priority in your life right now. You can with some help, feel so much better in a few months, so do not think this will continue forever. Do whatever you must to make someone you trust listen to you and do not hold back anything. I will also share with you that I am right now going through very similar things with my grand-daughter and what I have mentioned here has came from teachers, counsellors, and social workers. Take care, and I so wish you much wellness, and a lifetime of contentment and peace.
Can stress/anxiety/depression cause you to not eat a lot?
With your diet, I would have the same problems. You are eating refined carbohydrates and dairy and sugar which your body is "starving" for brain food and your adrenal glands are exhausted. Your brain burns more protein in one hour of concentration as a body working out lifting weights at the same amount of time. Adrenal exhaustion symptoms: Anxiety, panic attacks, sleep disorders, ADD/ADHD, etc. Lack of protein symptoms are: Vertigo, lack of focus, lack of concentration, dizziness, etc. Please, eat whole chopped salads, include a minimum of 6 to 7 different colored raw vegetables and eat small meals about 7 times a day with sliced whole turkey, chicken or fish. The portions can be small, but must be healthy... Not empty calories that your brain and body cannot draw from. No fried foods, no packaged man made foods. No refined sugar or artificial sweeteners. Absolutely No dairy! Eat right long enough and your mental disorders will be gone. Takes about 4 months to get your brain back in balance. (life of a red blood cell is 4 months).
I can't eat because of depression?
Time will heal things honey. It's difficult and it will be for a long while yet, that's not something you can just erase. Eating is important though, and so is drinking water. You're not going to want to eat for a while but you really should try for at least a little bit, this is your body's way with coping and you've got to fight against that. Start at the bottom, with saltines and a bit of water, watch movies, talk to the people close to you, sleep. You can't rebuild yourself when you don't have a foundation to start off with. Obviously this friendship means a lot to you, so you have to build the courage to face it and make up. Sometimes that's the best medicine, and you need to find forgiveness in yourself, and be humble about it. If you were even partly at fault don't be afraid to admit it. Friendships aren't one way streets, there's some give and take. But you do need to eat lovely, please try.
Can adult ADHD get worse if untreated?
I don't think that it can get worse but it can ruin your life if it gets diagnosed later. I got my diagnosis when I was 31. Better late than never you might think yeah? Until my diagnosis my social life was not even a failure, but a living hell: in high school I couldn't make any friends, and was bullied constantly (passive ignoring way). Same with middle school. If something bad has happened my parents first question was: ,,What have done this time?". Always my fault. So I learned not to confess my problem (I was very introvert from the very beginning though).Imagine that your 95% of your ,,friends" are not your friends but people who approach you because they know you have a good heart (and of course impulsive decisions) you help them. Homework, lending stuff etc...Even after diagnosis my social life is in ruins, and I don't think that I will ever be on good terms with my family.So it shouldn't be ignored. But on the other the diagnosis is hard because you have to suspect it. It is one of those things that you have to know that it is there in order to find it. It is easier to brush it off saying that everyone is a bitch but me (my point of view) and that he is a wierdo/nerd/gay (other people's point of view).So if you suspect, just go to nearby clinic, trust me.P.S.: sorry for using the word gay, but in Hungary we use it to anything that is not considered normal
What should I do if my ADHD boyfriend breaks up with me (India)? I really love him and want to be with him.
first of all why’d u type in ‘India’..like is it a long distance relationship and ur in India or is ur name India.. Either way plz clarifyRight so the first thing to talk about is that ur ex boyfriend has ADHD and that definitely has an impact on ur relationship or it could just be that he’s not interested in u anymore. Hoping that it’s the first case let me tell ya a few pointsNow ADHD can cause a lot of problems likeNot paying attention to wut ur saying (and remember this isn’t intentional unless he’s faking that he has ADHD) and this could break out fights in ur relationshipBeing insensitive and blurting out emotions that might hurt ur feelings( note that it this is a symptom and not intentionalForgetfullness(sry idk how to spell)- If u both agree on something together like going on a trip every Friday then there is a chance that he might forget it and this will definitely infuriate u but keep ur cool and try to think about why he can’t keep up promises. Put yourself in his shoes and think about it. Don’t u think it would be madening for him too for not keeping up with his gfSo assuming this breakup is purely affected by his ADHD and not his dislike of u, he’s probs breaking up with u cus he feels like it might affect u on an emotional level and doesn’t want to risk it.So either way try to talk to him and tell him to be honest so u coild find some improvements in ur relationship.Hope this helpsAnd as always,Peace out.✌
ADHD or sometihng else, like regular adolesnce?
My 12 year old now, was diagnosed with adhd when he was 8, I put him on the meds for one year and took him off of them because he was not a kid anymore, I didn't want a zombie for a child,what I did was work with him and the school worked with me also, he has a rocking chair to go to at school when he gets his moments and he rocks until he calms down, his work is on florescent colored paper and he squeezes balls while he is working. when he is at home it is very challenging because sometimes we have our moments but I have to put myself in check and learn that his actions are sometimes uncontrollable, so I try to keep him busy. but I will tell you this, he is one smart boy with the biggest heart that I have ever seen. but when he was on the meds, he was miserable, I couldn't stand it. So I thought to myself, ADHD has been around for years, and their was no meds, and the ones that had it, turned out just fine just a little hyper, I just keep him away from caffeine, and sugar products. good luck sweetie, and remember try to cope with it before you turn to meds, because those meds in my opinion are not a good thing for children.
I hate my life so much. ADHD Is the worst!!!!!!!!!?
I'm 13 years old and I have been struggling with adhd for a long time. I hate it. I used to take medication, but then I quit. Now im in 8th grade and my whole world is falling apart. I get horrible grades and my teachers are constantly telling me what not to do, and following me around. it makes me look like a resources kid. i am very smart, and they all know that but all my peers think im stupid, sometimes they even call me a retard. At home, my parents are thinking about getting divorced and my mom and i get into horrible fights where we cuss eachother out and hit eachother. She gets so frustrated when i dotn do my homework. It used to be that i couldnt help it "which i still cant" but now i dont care about it at all. I dont care about my life i dont care where i go in life. I just want to end my life. Every day i cry, and I hate my teachers so much. some are just plain mean to me. I understand the difference betweenn a mean teacher and someone whos trying to help. i just hate my life, and im pretty sure this is depression, but my parents try to ground me, and this doesnt work because they just dont get it. I DONT CARE!!!!! my parents are always emailing my teachers about how i did today and its so annoying because i feel like some sort of special case. I have one friend, and one friend only who understands. Shes been trhough a lot of rough times, shes bipolar, she also has adhd, her mom died, her dads in jail. Sometimes I think shes a bad influlence because shell cuss out teachers when she doesnt think somethings fair, or act out. But she really tries to get me on track, it just isnt hellping. My parents think im on drugs "which im not" and i just want to never wake up. Do any of you understand what its like to just not care anymore??
