Loss of sleep & weight


Question Posted Thursday November 20 2008, 2:43 pm

so.. for the past week and a half i haven't been able to sleep. i mean, i've always had trouble with sleeping at night (not being able to fall asleep.. i have adhd) but i've been having really bad dreams. also, i haven't been eating much at all and i've lost about 5 pounds. a lot of people have noticed me being tired at school. and my mom and best friend said that it looks like i've lost weight. could this be from stress? or being worried? (i've been somewhat scared lately because my boyfriend and i have started talking about having sex for the first time)

i'm 16 and am a female. i'm 5'6" and weigh 115, and don't really want to lose much more wight, at all.

thank you! :)

It most likely is from stress.

Don't keep letting it ruin your health.

Try to eat even if you don't feel particularly hungry. Or even if it upsets your stomach.
If you keep eating less, it may eventually get difficult for you keep any food down.

I don't know what can be done about bad dreams, sorry.

But if you're afraid of having sex, I'd tell the boyfriend why.

You think that's all he wants from you?
Afraid of getting pregnant? STD?
You'd rather wait?
You're scared about pain?


And after that, leave the topic to discuss later.


If you've gotten through this issue and still don't eat much and have bad dreams, you should probably go see a counselor and or a doctor.

it could most deffientally be from stess, and from being worried. if something is bothering you er whatever that could be it too. like if you were depressed or just have soo much on your mind thats probally the reason to it.
hope that helped :]
