Whats my problem?

Question

So im 14 years old and im constantly worring every little thing.I've always been like this since i was a little kid,mostly i'd just stay up all night worring about stupid little things. In the past year I stopped drinking soda all the time and my sleeping patterns got much better and i stopped worrying so much,But now its came back and i worry about unreasltic things and its driving me insane. I have never told anyone about my constant worry because i worry about telling anyone.
Whats my problem and what should i do?

Answer 1

You sound just like my son did when he was diagnosed with OCD....worry worry worry,waking me up late at night and telling me all his illness's...caffeine was bad, and so is sugar, and anything that makes you lose sleep...but he went to the doctor and got some medicine called Luvox, and it has been a life saver...now he has a fantastic paying job, beautiful wife, and fantastic baby....just from a little pill to put back the serotonin he was lacking in his chemical makeup..so you see, it isn't really even a mental illness...it is just a chemical imbalance...God Bless and good luck go see a doc, and let him for sure diagnose you...it might just be your age.

Do your parents have any kind of major problems ? Do they fight and argue a lot ? Or does one or both of them have a drug or alcohol problem ? When I was your age and even younger , I too worried about everything. I didn't realize at the time why i was so stressed out. My dad had a drinking problem and it was really hard for my mom to get me to go to school. For some reason i always told her my stomach hurt. Sometimes she believed me, but most of the time she made me go. When i became an adult i realized the reason i worried myself sick. I was absolutely terrified that I would turn that corner to see our house and see Daddy's pick-up sitting in the drive way. If his truck was there , that meant he was drinking. He wasn't violent or anything. But he and Mama would fight. Well, to be honest sometimes there was a bit of violence. Nothing severe. My Mama was the one that usually started the fights. He hit her...slapped her a couple of times and me and my two little sisters would jump on him and start beating the fire out of him. We were small so we never hurt him. We had to jump on top of Mama once. LOL she was a little bitty thing with a great big temper.It's funny now, but back then, not so funny. No matter if they fought or not i hated seeing my Daddy like that . And I think that's the reason i worried so much. I also had to worry about taking care of my middle sister. She is like Mama was , itty bitty. And she had a temper she wasn't physically able to back up. So, me big sister was always having to fight her battles for her. Thank God nobody ever called my bluff !!! LOL. I have a mouth on me that would scare the biggest of men. I act like a lunatic and everyone just sorta looks at me like....??????......... do I want any of her ???? I was tough, I had to be. That doesn't mean I wasn't scared. Unless there was a serious threat against someone I loved...not a good idea..when it comes to those I love I am scared of my own self. I don't know if you have anything like that going on in your life. If you have been like this since you were little, I would suggest you try to find out what is troubling you. Like I said, I had no idea that my dad drinking bothered me that much. It may have been because I never knew when to expect it. He would go 6-7-8-9 months without touching alcohol and then BAM !!! He was on a 3 day run. I don't know sweetie. Maybe you could talk to an adult that you trust and feel safe confiding in. If you don't know what's causing these feelings maybe you should talk to your parents and see if you might want to speak with a councelor. I wish I knew the perfect answer to your question sweetie. All I can do is tell you why I was like you are when i was your age. I hope and pray that I have in some way helped you. And there is another person that you can talk to anytime day or night , anywhere. Jesus. He's the best councelor i have ever had. And He's free. And He is there , all ya gotta do is talk to Him. Now HE knows all of the answers. God Bless You Child. My thoughts and prayers will be with you. Good Luck sweet heart.

Answer 3

It sounds like something serious. Tell your parents and go see a doctor. Create a list of the things that you worry and think about so you can explain it to your doctor easily. This will also get your worries out of you mind and onto paper instead of bottling them up inside.

Answer 4

Yes go see a Doctor. I have always had the same problem. You can't go to sleep because your mind will not shut off. It could be Anxiety, OCD, Depression. No one here can tell you. You’re going to need the Doctor for that.

As you get older this can lead to alcohol and drug abuse. You will get desperate to turn it off. Tell someone before you get to this point.

Answer 5

Go and see a doctor. I used to feel EXACTLY like you did.... I'm 16 now, and I got on medicine for this when I was around 14 or so. And it was amazing... now I can live normally and don't have to feel like that. I would suggest Zoloft (thats what I'm on) but it's really up to your doctor. Good luck!

Answer 6

see a shrink and find out whats wrong. I'm not saying you're crazy or anything its just that worrying over little things is bad for your health.

Answer 7

no problem my friend,,,,,,this used to be my situation also....but as I grew older and became more aware of who I was and who God is, I grew to not worry. As you become secure in yourself those thoughts will fade and you will speak and act with confidence. Don't worry--you have no problem....you are just becoming a man or a woman.

Answer 8

Sounds like anxiety to me.

Answer 9

Answer 10
