Questions on tears and hunger.

Hey everyone.

I've been trying to cope with the stress and all that. It has been tough and I've been crying a lot at home. But yesterday, I broke into tears at school. In the past, if I have the urge to cry in school, I'd hold back the tears. But yesterday, I couldn't control. I didn't know what happened. But I knew I was annoyed during English lesson before Physics cause I couldn't multi-task -- listen to the teacher and copy notes. After that, I thought I was better. But Physics drove me nuts. I stared at the workbook and had one of the worst mind blanks I ever experienced. I read the question repeatedly, not absorbing anything, even after I reminded myself to concentrate. I basically couldn't concentrate. Then I noticed my vision blurred by tears which I managed to hold back. I talked to my friend for awhile about how difficult is it for me to concentrate at that moment, then I turned back to try to do it. I couldn't. I decided to tell my teacher to allow me not to hand up my work by the end of the day as I couldn't concentrate. He allowed and asked me to read the passage and don't do anymore of those calculations in Physics.

I could feel the tears coming as I talked to him. Once he walked away, I cried, just like that, uncontrollably. Before that I was have abdominal pains and slight headache. Then I laughed at the same time. It was awful. I felt really tight at my chest too, breathless and all. Just hate it. After I washed up, my friend tried to cheer me up with a balloon with a smiley face on it. Then I cried even more.

I just don't understand this whole thing. I know I am extremely high on stress. But what's with the crying and laughing at the same time? I thought I was mentally unstable.

And lately, I've been craving for food. When I have nothing to do, I think of food. I feel very hungry and just wish to gobble down lots of food. Is there any way that I can stop this? It's wasting my money buying food and it is causing me to gain weight.

Hope to get some advice. Thanks a bunch people! ((:

Love ya lots.

Bonjour stkitt.

I am not on any meds and I've seen the gastroenterologist about the abdominal problems. I had the Urea Breath Test and it turned out negative. The gastro said I probably have a sensitive stomach. I get abs problems every morning. It's bearable though.

The doctor said I have no lungs or heart problems. Hence, shortness of breath shouldn't be related to it. I'm having an appointment with the psychiatrist next Wednesday [25th July], after waiting for a month and a half.

I don't talk to my family about it. I don't feel comfortable with that. Anyway, my parents are making me cry most of the time at home.

Thanks for you support.

lots of love,
Jaslyn.

Wow hun that sounds rough, Although I know how you feel, I did all of that for the first 3months of being prego with both my kids. I am not saying your prego just saying I know how you feel. I would sob over nothing and everything all the time and at the drop of a hat and out of the blue. And Food, I never ate alot but I would eat and eat and I gained 50lbs. I went from 100lbs to 150lbs.
I would talk with your doctor about the feelings your having and see what they say.
Good luck hun!

Hello dear,

Eh, I've been okay.  Been worried about a few things.  Just trying to hang in there.  Your appointment with the psych is coming right up. Hope he/she can help you.

Keep us posted.  Good luck with that.

Take care sweety. 

Jaslyn,
You may be wanting to eat for "comfort". Some people find food to be soothing to their nerves. You may have hormonal problems going on as well. It never hurts to talk to a doctor about what all you have been dealing with and he may refer you to a therapist or psychiatrist.
I'm sorry things are tough for you! We care! hang in there!

Hey Jas,
