Hello im 18/f and im usually a very happy person and see the positives in everything. The past couple weeks i've noticed im getting very frustrated with everything and anything. (my mom and my stepdad recently just got divorced) maybe that plays a role in this? If things dont go my way or anything is out of place i freak out and get really mad. My boyfriend and I were on the phone last night and there was like 20 seconds of neither of us talking and i freaked out on him. Why is this happening to me all of a sudden? I try to calm myself down but i just cant. Thanks!

Make an appointment with your family doctor and tell him about the change in your life situation and explain to him how you have been feeling (angry, frustrated, etc.). Ask him if there is something he could prescribe to get you through this rough patch in your life right now. Good luck. [ ellen537's advice column | Ask ellen537 A Question ]
