how do you know when you are stressed/what to do
hi, i know that sounds silly, how can you not know you are stressed, but i've never really been that stressed out before. i mean yeah sure school sucked sometimes and stuff, but i've always been pretty laid back, so i've never really dealt with stess or sadness before.
well,a little bit ago, i had something traumatic happen to me. i really hate when people whine & such, so after about a week or so, i decided it was time to move on, they wouldn't want me acting this way.
so, i thought i've done that. but i think i might still actually be stressed about it.. i've been grinding my teeth when i sleep, having nightmares, irregular periods(& i've had my period for many years now, and its always been very spot on what day i'd have it),can't sleep, etc. aren't these kinds of things symptoms of stress?
how do you fix this?i really have no idea. i don't feel that sad, i mean i still cry about it a lot, but usually only at night. but during the day it's back to same old same old. thanks for any help
& please don't suggest talking to someone about it, i can't talk to my family about it, because i know they will get very upset. i've been the strong one & i can't let them down. & i don't want to upset my friends either..

I'm not a doctor, none of us are so we cannot make a diagnoses.
From what you have written it sure sounds like stress or depression which is brought on by stress. What to do about it is to see your family doctor and be screened for depression. If you are depressed there are medications that can help. If you are not depressed there are medications that will help you to relieve the stress.
As for talking to anyone to help relieve the stress? Talking to a family member probably won't help. You need to speak to someone disassociated from the problem, A therapist is usually a good way to help learn how to handle stress while talking with someone about what is causing your stress. Your family doctor could probably make a recommendation to you.
