Sick, mentally and physically.

Postby **Alina_Rose** » Wed Feb 20, 2013 12:36 am

Ok so not sure if this is the right thing to post it under but...

You see Im literally sick all the time (sometimes its hard for me to even get out of bed) I Suffer from panic attacks and become sick on a daily basis (physically sick) but no one has a clue about what's wrong with me (parents think I'm faking). I need to strengthen up though... I'm 17 and I'm at the point of my life where I can't just sit at home feeling ill and skipping TAFE.. Mum is getting rather sick of it and to be honest so am I. But I don't have a clue what to do about it, every night I tell myself I'm going to get out today! I'm going to go! But I don't... I just am stuck and I need any kind of help or advice. So please if you can help, let me know! It would be kindly appreciated.

Have you been to the doctor for blood work? at least you can rule out any actual physical issue. If it is depression, you may have a very hard time with this. I would start small maybe. Like just sitting on the porch for awhile, then a small stroll up and down the block. Maybe find a tree that calls to you and go lean against it awhile. Eventually go to the park or some other peaceful setting and stay 15 min. next time a little longer. Breath deeply while you are out, see that it is safe and each time add a little more to your journey, eventually have a picnic or some other thing like fly a kite.
Or it may be time for medication. Will you parents look into that for you?
wishing you well Blessings, Firebird

Yes I have been to the doctors so many times I have lost count.. As for the depression I do have it medically and I am taking medication for it. I went to tafe today and of wasn't so bad (I think with a lot of help from blue lace agate, carnelian and quarts crystal) but now I'm feeling really sick... And I'm home...

You might need a different medication. Anti-depressants are not one-size-fits-all. What works for one person may not be effective for another person. I think you were very wise to reach out for help here. Keep working at it. Sometimes progress is measured in seconds and millimeters.

Antidepressants also can make you nausious as a side effect. I experienced that over the years, with the many different meds I was on for depression.

That's a bummer Alina, but if you know it's for the best, then maybe it will only hurt for a little while. Keep on getting yourself out there. I think if you can congregate in a place that you like, then maybe Mr. right will be will be there...

Alina, I was done with men, dating, the whole thing. My tarot cards kept telling me I was going to meet someone. My reaction was "Not only No!!, but H---No!!!!" We've been together fifteen years.

Lucky you snow cat! Unfortunately I have no such promises from tarot cards... I hope it heals firebird... It still hurts like hell.
