Answer 1

Find a happy thought. then, when everything is going down the toilet, keep going back to that happy thought.

Are you moving out into an isolated, wilderness area? You will probably need to put some major distance between you and everyone else, or they will continue to get on your nerves.

Have you looked in Northern Montana? It's pretty remote, and land is cheap. Better bring a wood splitter with you, though. those December nights are pretty cold!

Answer 2

Just take things slow and easy for awhile. November is just around the corner and I'm sure if you describe to a psychologist what you have just described here, they will be able to diagnose and begin a treatment plan with you.
In the meantime, continue to stay on track, you said you've been doing well without any outbursts. Try to understand that although there may be anti-social youths around, you are feeling a little anti-social as well. No need to force issues, just realize you are doing the best you can under the circumstances.
If you have some quiet music to listen to, that may help. If the noise outside is obtrusive, get some headphones. Try to make "your space" as comfortable as possible for you, until you can get into a better situation. Do some relaxation techniques like slow, deep breathing when you feel anxiety. Regular exercise and relaxation can help reduce stress a lot. Take good care of yourself, don't let yourself become too hungry, too tired or too lonely - these things can increase mood swings and anxiety.
Moving to a more peaceful area may be just what you need. I lived in the city for a very short time awhile back. It was very stressful for me. We took frequent camping trips and visits to friends just to get away, until we found a place in the country. It wasn't easy, but we made it. I realized I am not a city person, I like peaceful surroundings and plenty of open space.
It may also help to remind yourself that although others may be anti-social or noisey, they are not doing this to cause you harm, they too are just doing the best they can with what they have been given.
Take care and best of luck in finding your new and quieter place.

Answer 3

Your symptoms are pretty common and straight forward. Just tell him exactly what you told us. You won't have to demand a diagnosis. He's going to tell you what you told us. You have an anxiety/panic disorder. Your nervous system is very sensitive, which is why you are having problems dealing with the noisy, chaotic environment. If you are not adverse to medication, there are some wonderful (I suffered similar symptoms and am on medication) ones out there to ease your symptoms. You may even find that you don't have to move because you can tolerate and ignore your surroundings. There is no total cure for our disorder. Going to a psychologist or psychiatrist and getting therapy to understand what is going on is a great first step in learning to live with it. Medication "coats" the raw nervous system (my interpretation) to calm you and help you live the best life you can. Please feel encouraged because there is help for you.

Answer 4

You know, you CAN deal with all these issues on your own. God never gives us more than you can handle. (I'm not trying to convert you) You just have to love yourself and everything about you. Keep telling yourself on a daily basis that you ARE getting better, this will pass. Everything is ALWAYS okay. I too felt this way at one time, and the medicine only made me become dependant on it to make me "feel better," but it's just another drug to supress whatever it is that's going on inside, it's not a cure. I had to take myself off of them cause they seemed to only make matters worse. You have to find a way to feel better on your own. Think back to a time when you were really happy....go back to that way of thinking and you'll achieve complete happiness and love for yourself like you've never felt before! I hope everything goes okay for you and have a wonderful day!!

-----You're already doing the right thing by talking about what's bothering you. Keeping it inside will only make matters worse. Get out in the sunshine, this always helps!

Answer 5

Don't worry about what to say, the mental health professional will direct the conversation to provide the information needed. The first step should be to get a physical and rule out medical and chemical causes. Try to eliminate coffee, caffeine, junk food, sugar, MSG, chocolate, and fast food from your diet as they all contain chemicals that can affect mood.

Answer 6

You have to insist that you get the help you are seeking. You have been trying to get this help for months now and it appears that you are not getting the help you need as quickly as you want it...You need to talk to your cpn and let them know how badly you are feeling. I think you should go to a hospital if you can not get the help you need soon...This is ridiculous that they are making you wait months for this help knowing your situation....Other than that..if staying in is helping you cope do what you must for your own good health. God Bless my prayers are with you
