feeling sick- ANSWER ASAP!!!


Question Posted Wednesday June 24 2009, 1:22 pm

tomorrow i'm leaving for a sports nationals and its going to be 6 days long. today i found out that i just got my period. on top of that... i'm feeling sick. I feel like i need to throw up, i have diahrrea, a little sore throat.

my mom is away on business and will be back tonight. my dad is working and i called him and told him i felt sick, but he got angry and said i should take medicine and rest. he refused to accept that i was sick right before nationals. i tried to tell him that i felt like i needed to throw up and he's just like- its just nerves.

so problem #1- i feel sick and really dont want to leave for nationals. what should i do?

problem #2- we are going to the beach one of the days, and i have my period, and i cant wear tampons. my mom wont let me, and i've tried a bunch of times but it never works out right. so what am i supposed to do? i was thinking i could just tell the coaches that i feel sick and that i dont want to go to the beach. but idk if thats a good idea?

thank you!!

and please answer ASAP.

Sounds like nerves about the competition AND dealing with your period. Try to think about the fun things about traveling for competitions and try to remind yourself that this is for YOU and no one else, not Mom or Dad or any friends. How well you do, how much fun you have, what you get out of it, its all about YOU. Don't let the pressure of performing for others get the best of you. Do it for yourself. As for the period thing, I know how that feels. Do you have a few bucks? Have some time b/f Mom gets home? Run out and get some "slender regular" plastic application tampons. I learned to put the tampons in by looking at the directions. It often helps to raise your leg and rest if against something, like the wall, tub, or toilet. The plastic applicators are better for first timers because they are smoother. You've got all day to practice. But try to relax, don't get crazy about it, b/c you can actually cause your vaginal muscles to tighten up if you are too stressed. You can do it, and once you do it right its like riding a bike. You'll barely have to think about it. Once you get it you'll love the freedom of wearing a tampon. If it doesn't work out b/f you go, on beach day you may have to pull a coach aside (do you have a female coach) and be honest. Or, a coach's wife... or female chaperone. It will help to have just one adult be able to make explanations for you, so you don't have to go through the embarrassment. Good LUck! I hope you do well, but do your best, the rest is gravy

Relax!

It could be nerves, If you have your period I suggest bringing some panty liners with you. Drink some hot tea it will help any cramping/pain. Also, Ginger cookies are good for neaseau. Sore throat...Grab the cough drops and start sucking! Don't worry just relax nationals is a big thing it would make me nervous too. Try and do something fun to keep your mind occuiped.

Good luck
