what is wrong with me??

Question

my head is spinning, i cant let go of things that happened in my past, pretty much triggering everything thats happening now. i've been hurt so many times and in many different ways and i thought i was fine and now its all resurfacing again. i constantly find myself crying, not eating, getting sick, having panic attacks. i dont know what is wrong with me, and i keep pushing everyone away becuase of things that happened in my past. i feel like such a screw up, i havent been able to do anything right for a while now. i need help, i dont know what to do. i feel as if im losing all control of my life, and i cant get it back.

Sweetie, you're bashing yourself so much! I know it sounds hokey, but the past is past--unless you LEARN from it. Ask yourself why you've been hurt so many times. If you're TOTALLY honest with yourself, you'll be awed by the insights. Only my opinion, based on (rather recent) panic attacks--I don't believe medications will help more than a lobotomy. Psychologists & psychiatrists are a good way to VENT. Been there, done that. If you examine each incident in which you feel you were a screw up, you'll see a pattern. Modify, or BREAK it. Honest. You can do it, all by yourself. You know yourself better than ANYONE ever will--I just got weary of feeling awful, & "took the bull by the horns." It's worked for me. I'm not in any way discounting that perhaps your level of stress requires professional help; I don't know enough about you. The only thing I know, is that very honestly, objectively, exploring my past "mistakes" has helped ME. At least give it a try. If it doesn't work--take the options. I wish the very best for you.

Hello..................I can see that you are new to Yahoo answers. This is the first of two questions that you have posed here, and from what I can tell, you have had a pretty rough time of late. It sounds as if outside pressures are bearing down hard on you and are causing you significant stress. It would be easy for any of us here answering your question[s] to tell you that it is going to be fine, and that you have to just put the past behind you and move on with your life and so on. I never read the answers other people have written before I answer the question myself. I find that it angers me when a serious situation like the one you are in is met with half-hearted and often judgemental comments. I can't let that influence what I say when I try to talk to you.
Every thing you have spoken about seems to stem from something that has happened, a series of unfortunate events, the results of which you seem to be taking the entire blame for. Maybe things aren't going so hot for you in your relationships with your family, friends or even your job, but it is not possible for the causes of these or any other conflicts to be all one person's fault or doing. Take responsibility for the part that you own only.and then take whatever steps are neccessary to begin forgiving yourself. There is nothing you can do about what has happened. You only have the power to control what will happen from now on. You seem to be allowing all that negative stuff to dictate who you are today, without taking into consideration that you have issues which may be someone else's problem altogether. As for naming yourself a "screw up", well, that's the kind of thing that just continues to grow the more you say it , a kind of self-fullfilling prophecy. Have you, or anyone who knows what you are going through thought of the possibility that these symptoms you are having, both phsyical and emotional, are being caused by some sort of chemical imbalance in your brain and you absolutely are not to blame at all for the things that are happening? My best advice to you would be to ask a professional, explain what has happened and what is continuing to happen. Even just talking about it may help you get to the answers you are looking for. If we here at Yahoo are worth asking, imagine the value you will find in someone who actually can give you really educated answers. I know that I will always think very carefully before I hand out advice and I hope that what I've said to you has helped you. There are people who care still left in this world.Try to take it easy on yourself................

Answer 5

You need to go to the doctor and get a prescription for an anti anxiety drug or anit depressant. I have the same problem. I am just plain old, flat out, stressed out. I am assuming you are in the same lot. Definitely go to the doctor. I am on Buspar, and it is working nicely for me. Also, have the doctor give you some Xanax. That is a nice little drug that will help ease your mind so you can get some sleep, and believe me, Xanax does make you sleepy. I slept for 14 hours after taking this medicine one day. I needed to catch up on some sleep anyway. Good luck.

Answer 6

Hi Joe,
The best thing you can do is to go along and speak with your G.P.
who will be able to get you the proper help you need. It would do you good to be listened to, and then helped by someone who can reassure you and provide adequate steps for your recovery.

Most of us go through times when we feel out of control, but getting the right help is crucial.

Answer 7

You sound as though you are being over whelmed. Take a bit of time off to try to relax. It would also not hurt to seek help from a professional so you can discuss the nature and cause of the panic attacks and how you can reduce or stop them.

Answer 8

You sound as if you have an anxiety disorder, combined with depression. You need to get to a therapists and find out what the root of your problelm is. They will probably give you some antidepressants or something to help calm you down. But you really need some professional help. Please hurry, before it gets out of control.

Answer 9

Wow you need to go to counseling or to a pyschotherapist before you do anything more harmful to you...

Wild guess but for a second there I thought you had Post Tramatic Stress Disorder...

But really get help now!! To a person to can understand you... Like your Parents or best friend or counseller...
