Not feeling like myself?


Question Posted Friday December 11 2009, 2:36 pm

Hey 14f i don't know if this is in the right category?

Okay, lately I haven't been feeling like myself. I've been worrying a lot lately and feeling sad. (i'm usually a worrier), but this week it's different every morning this week i had a nervous feeling in my stomach (plus the feelings from my period.) I don't know if its from my period or not? I've been less talkative to my friends and everything..I even walk away quickly in the hallway not even waiting for my bf. I feel so upset this week. I'm not the most popular girl in the school, and usually i don't care. Now i do, i wonder what the hell does my boyfriend see in me? I feel like i'm not skinny enough, even when i look like i'm fine. I remember(this was awhile agoo) I was having this horrible fight with my friends and every morning i made myself vomit because of all my nerves, i didnt really "make" myself i didn't stick my finger down my throat i just threw up.. and it made me look horrible and my friends were really worried about me and i was worried to. I stopped that i don't do that anymore but i'm worried i will. Am i just feeling this way because of my period? I think that's it but i really want to learn to not feel so sad for myself because yes a lot of people don' t like me, but i have A LOT of good friends that a lot of those "popular girls" don't have. A lot of people have things worse than me and i really need to bump up my self esteem? Can anyone help me with that? thanks for everyones help, i appreciate it :)

could there be something in your life that went wrong?...who cares what you look like your should be self confident on who you are not your looks take it from me don't care about what people might think only be happy with how you are and if your bf is still with you than theres a good reason for it I'm sure that your just overreacting but something that can cheer you is taking some time for yourself and experimenting with new looks also try to hang out with your friends and bf because I'm sure they care and are willing to help you out...good luck :)

You need confidence believe in yourself if you don't have those two things then you'll have low self esteem and you'll feel horrible don't let your nerves get the best of you everyone gets nervous sometimes it's normal you shouldn't have to change for anyone and if people don't accept you for who you truely are then you don't need them in your life as far as your body is concerned
everyone has something they don't like about themselves or they'd like to change it could be that your feeling that way cause of your period or simply because your nervous but then again i'm not a doctor if your becoming stressed over it go visit one and see what they have to say :)

Hey 14/f,

I don't think what's going on is anything serious, considering your age and your period. It's common for a lot of teen girls (heck, I'm 23 and still get those feelings occasionally) to feel insecure, upset, and sad for no apparent reason. I think when these feelings start to get excessive, should you start considering outside help. I think it's great that you are acknowledging these behavioral problems and are aware that most of the negative thoughts are irrational. That shows that you have a good sense of awareness and aren't stuck in a false sense of reality.

A lot of times when I feel that way, I am at a point where I am evaluating yourself and everything associated with my life. I subconsciously began to question people I know and their loyalty to me, and start criticizing every aspect of myself wondering if I am who I want myself to be. Throughout this period, I, too, wanted time to myself.

I'm not going to assume you're going through the same thing, but some things that might help are writing in a journal to "purge" these feelings out (it works wonders for me...it keeps me in check about my feelings and helps me better understand a situation so I can handle it appropriately), making a list of your qualities, and/or spending one day strictly devoted to things you enjoy.

I hope this helps. :)
