Answer 1

"Nervous breakdown" is old fashioned terminology; mental health professionals don't use that term anymore.

If you're crying and feeling sad most of the time for two months or more, go see a medical doctor. By "most of the time" I mean all day or almost all day, and you feel like that everyday or almost every day. If it's just a feeling that comes and goes sometimes, a lot of people feel like that and it's probably not a big deal.

If you don't think it's severe enough to go to a doctor, but you still think you're having a harder time than most people around you, try talking to a school counsellor or any adult you know you can trust. A teacher or relative, maybe.

Grade school and high school were both terrible experiences for me. I was teased a lot. Girls didn't like me. If they wanted to make fun of a girl, people would say she was going out with me. I dated two very unpopular girls at different times and people made fun of us. Then there was this girl who was kind of "different" in my senior year; but nobody seemed to pick on her. I never formally went out with her, but she gave me the best kiss I ever had in my life and I'll never forget that.

Now I've been married for 15 years to someone I met at work and I have a pretty good life.

It can get better.

Well sweetie if you were having a nervous breakdown you wouldnt know it, it would just happen. Its not like an anxiety attack or something like that. Maybe go to your dr and see if he can prescribe you something. Deal with the stress or whatever is making you feel this way, go to church, speak to a close friend you trust, make a journal etc. Dont let these bad feelings end up taking you down a path of distruction. I will pray for you dear. Good luck!

Answer 3

Don think too much about it. No guys have ever been interested in me before too. My dad is a 24hr-working-kinda-guy, my mum tries her best but sometimes i feel really alone. My brother thinks i'm a selfish-oppurtunist-***** but i keep my head up cauz of two reasons.

1. My mum
2. My friends

Trust me when i say that you can go a long way with friends by your side, especially ones who like you for you, no matter how crazy, slow(brainwise,sometimes) or bossy. I found friends juz like those n i'm contented. Maybe all you need is a lil more self-esteem and courage to face your days and FRIENDS.....

Symptoms of mental health illness are many. You are so young, only 16. Why don't you tell us what is wrong, hon?
