stress/anxiety
16/f
'Symptoms of stress include, feeling anxious, feeling scared, irritable or moody. Stress affects thoughts. Thoughts of low self-esteem, fear of failure, inability to concentrate, worrying about the future, preoccupation with thoughts/tasks and forgetfulness can be present. Stress affects behavior.'
that pretty much describes how i have been feelin lately. im around 6 months pregnant, and i feel like im in a deep depression.
i feel like no one likes me anymore. i feel very socially awkward in situations that id never feel that way in normally. i feel worried about every single thing people might think about me. i feel like im always on the verge of a panic attack (which ive had one and totally scared of it happenin again).
before, this was never me. i was very out goin, easy to get along with, always the one to calm down others, always laughin and havin a good time. now i feel like no matter where i go im out of place. even chillin with my girl-friends who ive been friends with for 4 years now.
especially when i try to talk to guys, its like i forgot how to talk to them ! its so weird, because i can usually flirt and get along great with guys, but now i cant even talk to them because i feel like theres no point :/
someone please give me some tips or ways to cope with this, i feel like im goin crazy. thanks<3

Well there are a few ways to cope with anxiety and stress which is to maybe do something that you LOVE to do...whether it be listening to music, watching movies, or even painting. Do something that calms you or maybe listen to your favorite musician who calms you down...I listen to my favorite radio program to calm me down. This is a point in your life where you may feel stressed many people go through times where they feel more anxious then usual. Hang in there it will get better I'm sure there are people who care about you and will help you if you ask for it. Another thing is maybe you should see a counselor whether it be in school or outside of school just so you can talk to someone about how you're feeling.

That little blurb you've got about stress? All if those things are symptomatic of pregnancy as well.
Your body is going through huge changes, even if your bump isn't that big. Your baby is taking vitamins and nutrients from your system. You are flooded with hormones that can really mess with your emotions.
As far as your friends go, I'm not sure if anyone else is pregnant, but if not - you are going through something they can't understand. This can create a distance between even the best friends - you've got a lot more to worry about than they do. Try talking to them about this. You are in a constant state of flux, and the changes will only continue once the baby is born. Eventually, though, things will settle down and you'll start to feel like yourself again.
As for the boys, you may be feeling a bit weird about being pregnant and flirting. That's normal. And I hate to say it, but that baby is your priority now. Once they arrive, you'll have even less opportunity to date. But trust me- when your baby smiles at you it'll all be worth it.
You're pregnant. You are allowed to be emotional, insecure, worried, distracted. You're supposed to be. But don't let those feelings get in the way of enjoying your baby already - talk to it, sing to it, rub your tummy. There are lots of good things about pregnancy and motherhood, even though there is no denying your life is different forever.
I wish you the best.

okay mamas this is normal of what your feeling cause some people go through different emotions when they are pregnant and trust me when you have your baby it will start to blow over yes others may still look at you in a way but it won't effect you as much now as far as the guys to be honest there is no point cuase there not looking at you anymore there looking at your belly with a baby in it (not to be harsh)
TIPS: DNT STRESS IT NOT GOOD FOR YOUR PREGNACIE AND I KNOW THAT IT MAYBE HARD BUT YOU HAVE TO TRY OR YOU CAN PUT YOU AND YOUR BABY IN DANGER NOT SAYING THAT IT MAY HAPPEN TO YOU BUT IT A GREAT POSSIBILTY ASK YOUR DOCTOR....
