Strange headaches... are they stress related? How do I stop them?

Question

My french teacher can hardly speak english so I have to go to the german teacher to help me learn french so now I am failing french.

My brother has to go to Germany to be shipped out to Iraq.. again right before his son is born, then when he gets back he will be in germany for 3 more years.

my grandma just calls me to hear about my cousin (her other grandkid) that I go to the same school with and never asks about me.

my real mom said she wanted to see me at my job, but never showed... twice. I gave her my number but she never called to say sorry or that she couldn't come. I called her to say hi but she never called back when I left her multiple messages over at least 4 days before I called again.

I just got promoted at my job, so now I have a key to the place I work at, but my boss has a new job so I have to start everything up. I don't get paid. the headches start whenever I think about something bad or more happens. ibeprofen doesn't help. i'm 14. what should i do?

I JUST found out that my dad is getting out of prison in may of 2009. He has been in scince May of 2002. This makes me feel loads better. the system kept on postponing the trial so I didn't know when he would be out.

I am sensitive to light, but not sound. I've been feeling really hot all the time, but I don't have a fever and I'm not sick. I just became a vegitarian, but then decided to switch to kosher, so my adoptive parents are mad about that. Is it possible that my headaches are because of the sudden changes in diet? (I'm at a healthy weight, I just don't like sadistic meat industries)

Answer 1

Just take a mental health break, tell your dr. when you see him/her that you are over stressed and can they help you? if they cant call in sick and vegitate for a few days. it helps i'm 16 and i used to get those all the time. plus kids that have been abandoned by their realy moms need to stick together

Answer 2

When I was very depressed, I got terrible headaches all the time, and nothing--not special migraine meds from the doctor, not aspirin--could help them.
You might be depressed--even if you don't feel emotionally bad, sometimes your body knows before your mind does. You've had a lot of terrible, scary, stressful things happening to you, so I wouldn't be surprised if you're depressed.
Talk to a doctor or therapist if you can. Living in pain isn't okay. I hope everything gets better for you...

Answer 3

Seems to me that you have alot of stes going on for a 14 year old. It's a good bet that the headaches are stress induced. Do you have any other symptoms when you get headaches? If you're sensitive to light and sound and feel like throwing up, it might be migranes. In that case, go see your doctor.

Answer 4

Headaches that are senstive to light, and very painful,..are usually migraines..I have gotten them since I was four years old, and mom and dad were divorcing...my life always had stress and still does...you are under a lot of stress for a little one your age...and you are amazingly handling it..kinda like I did at your age..the only thing that helped me was to take some aspirins, and lay down. and put a washcloth on my eyes back them...but now, I take something else, but you are too young to take what I do...in the meantime,...try to find something fun for you to do, to get your mind off of the things that are so stressful and troublesome..and little one, pray to Jesus and God to give you the strength to carry on...because it sounds like to me, They are calling you...
