I have been drinking red wine or burgundy sometimes to the point of blacking out...this happens maybe twice a week. ?: my last drink(s) were on Friday night, during which I did black out and now it's Sunday evening and I am having SEVERE anxiety...is the alcohol, or lack of the culprit? I haven't been drinking for long..., though.
Answer:
Short answer, but something to think about...
Are you having problems with insomnia on nights you don't drink?
Don't immediately assume you are a standard issue alcoholic.
IF you black youself out for this reason, go to a doctor and ask about a sleep aid, or try to find the root of the insomnia.
This may or may not be your problem, but I had that issue for a bit of time, and fixed it all up so I no longer need to drink myself to sleep some nights.
If you feel you need to drink, don't just plain old stop, you could make yourself very ill. You would need to taper down.
Good luck, sweetie!
I can not drink wine because it makes me mean. Try other beverages that agree with you better.
yes indeed you are
If you're drinking to the point where you are blacking out, and this is happening regularly, then yes, you have a problem!!
The good thing is that you recognize that something is very wrong here - and that means you can sort it out.
You need to find out why you're drinking so much - are you depressed?
Go and speak to your doctor, and arrange some counselling. Even if you only go a few times, it can still help you clarify what's really going on. If you are suffering from some form of depression, you have the option of medication. Alcohol is not a real escape and you are damaging your health by drinking so much - stop now before the problem gets worse.
I wish you all the best.
its alcohol! I would stop drinking right now!
Well since you are asking this question then thats a good sign that you may be already or on your way to be an alcoholic.
It is not apparent to me from your description whether you are drinking because of your anxiety (this is called self medicating) or if you have anxiety because of your excessive drinking. In the first case, you want to GREATLY reduce your drinking and see a mental health counselor; if the latter, you need to GREATLY reduce your drinking and the anxiety should go away.
"
If you have to ask whether or not you're an alcoholic, then you probably are. If you weren't there would be no doubt in your mind. Get help quickly. Good luck.
you r not a acholic yet but u are on the verge of becoming one please quit substitue drinking with whatever lik gum
you may be an alcoholic - binge drinker - or are you drinking
to blot something out.if you have only been drinking a short time you're probably not alcoholic. various forms of it some
drink to be able to function and appear normal - others get
drunk all the time-
try for a month not to drink - if you can't may need help
how much wine ar you drinking glassed /bottles - you
may be allgeric to wine - are you drinking alone ? are you
unhappy - look at the cause and may find the solution
good luck
ask your self some questions like can i not drink for like 3 months why do i drink at all,does it affect the way i act,if the answer is not to your good them look for help i go to a.a.email me lcayote@yahoo.ca
yes you are, see you know this happens to you - blacking out etc and getting withdrawal symptoms and you still do it. Go get help. You really do not need to be drinking long to be an alcoholic.
calm down on the alcohol a little bit, if you continue it could lead to alcoholism. i dont see nothing wrong though with having a drink once a week, but once it get outta hand its considered alcoholism. good luck
i dunno what do you think. you drink alot, get drunk alot, HMMMMMMM, tough one.
According to the Institute of Alcohol Studies, a person is considered to be dependent on alcohol when they have experienced three or more of the following symptoms during a year.
A strong urge to drink, difficulty controlling how much they drink, or difficulty stopping.
Physical withdrawal symptoms, such as sweating, shaking, agitation and nausea when they try to reduce drinking.
A growing tolerance to alcohol - needing larger quantities to get the same effect.
Gradual neglect of other activities.
Persistent drinking even though it is obviously causing harm.
Alcohol abuse, or problem drinking, happens when a person is not dependent on alcohol, but is drinking enough to cause themselves actual physical or psychological harm.
Try an AA meeting! See what you think. Your obviously concerned and that is a good thing.
Best of Wishes.
I think you may have a problem. Anser these questions: Does it effect (your drinking) your life? Have you lost friends and family because of your drinking? Have you been performing poorly at work cause of your drinking binges? Has your financial situation been affected by your dringking? Have you encountered any health problems because of your drinking? Have you gotten any DUI's? If you answered No to all these than keep on what you doing becasue you have everything in control.
If you think you might have a problem drinking, chances are that you do! No offense. Subconciously you already know.
it depends why you are drinking
if you are drinking simply because you want to then you dont have a problem although its not good tod rink that much its not an actualy problem but if you are drinking because u feel you have to or are dependant on it to get through the day then yes you do hav a problem and should talk to your GP
yes, you are. Drinking is a choice. AA is a cult. You just have to choose not to drink.
If you've been drinking to the point of blacking out, you may well be an alcoholic. It doesn't matter how long you've been drinking. Some people can become one quite quickly.

Answer:
hey you should keep your mind opened, and talk, just talk to everybody, then you should make sports and make friends and have fun with them, because that help your mind being fresh and strong, so you ll never forget things again and it will keep you selfconfident, if you need anything else i am here to help
the answer is within, not without.
Make an appointment with a psychiatrist and see what he says.
well u can always ask help from family members. they can really help. try overcoming your fears. u can also go 2 a guidance councilor...theres nothing bad about that ! or u can go 2 a psychiatrist. hope u can solve your problems! good luck!
aww dont feel tht wayy
i feel just the same as you!! i try to act happy and friendly
to everyone, but ppl take tht as an advantage and i hateee it!
people alwys giving me problems =/ urrghh anyways
i know, i lose confidence, i mean im not tht of a confident person and problems make me think and then at school, i dont really pay attention..hmm i think u should just leave the things behind for a second, or maybe talk to your parents...tell someone about your problems and then you`ll feel better!! its bad to keep it all inside, you can explode like tht!
I am not sure what is going on here. How old are you? Is there some situation that is going on here? If this seems to be a chronic thing going on here it sounds like depression. However.i would always first suggest that you check with your Dr. and make sure something physical is going on...the first thing that comes to mind is your thyroid may be off. Then barring that i would check in with a therapist (just google to find one) i wonder if you could benefit from some group counseling? Now get going and let's try to find some answers now. Best of luck to you.

I think my friend may be depressed. She's sad almost all the time and is always tired. She is very stressed with school and sometimes panics for no reason. She's recently told me about how she's been feeling and I'm the only one she'll talk to. I tell her to talk to her parents but she's too afraid. I'm really worried and don't know what I should do for her.
Answer:
Invite her to your loving home for dinner and bring it up at the dinner table, tell your parents in advance and let them be her parents for the evening.
it's hard to talk to our own parents, but a friend's parent is different,. you can trust your mom and dad can't you?
I mean if you could talk to them, then tell them and invite her over and let them be her family for the night.
be a good friend, and share your parents.
take her to the guidance councilor if she wont go talk to him/her your self tell him/her whats up and they will know where and how to proceed to help your friend.
Get her to the school counselor. Maybe she can talk to him/her easier than her parents.
i jus heard somthing on t.v about that take her to a doctor
She should know and be glad that she has a friend like you.
What you have to do is show her that her life is very important and that you and her family and other friends care alot about her.
i told this same thing to one of my friends, just talk to her, and dont be afraid to tell her parents. ok.
You could go around her and talk to her parent privately.
Tell them what you know and ask them not to tell her that it came from you.
Your friend might be mad in the beginging but if something is wrong, her parents need to be made aware of it.
you need to be a really go friend to here, it is very important. You must also try and perswade her to seek perfosional help, she really needs it!! Tell here that talking to her parents will make it much better for here because they will be able to help alot, they are there to help her not judge her!, and ask her if she would rater have you talk to them
This does sound like depression, Please get her to go to the doctor so he can prescribe something to help her. Whats the point in being depressed when you don't have to be. Also I have heard of anti deppresents being sold in health food stores. I am sur its an herbal product.
See if you can find a good youth pastor and his wife to talk to her.
She should talk to her parents and a doctor. There are anti-depressants that she could take. She needs to deal with whatever is depressing her so she can enjoy living life.

PLEASE help! Is getting a therapist @ the age of 16 makes me a frealk/loser?
I've been through a lot and am damaged emotionally %26 dnt know how to deal with my problems/emotions. Can't talk to my parents about it cuz they are part of the problems. Friends don't help much...I'm not sure if I should get a therapist...
Answer:
It makes you responsible and I'm proud of you for asking the question....... seeking help to cope with your emotions is a brave and very mature thing to do, especially when you cant talk to your friends or parents, don't ever feel like a freak or loser , you're the exact opposite of that .
no not at all. in fact i think its a very admirable and mature thing to do, if you need help then you need help doesn't matter how old you are.
You should definitely see a therapist before more damage is done. I'm 15 and I see a therapist and a psychiatrist. Only my close friends even know I see a therapist/psychiatrist. Therapists are good people to talk to, just to talk to. Many people see therapists. There's no need to be ashamed. Easy to say, I know. You need to worry about yourself, though. Try not to worry about what others will think of you and seek some guidance. It's your future, not there's.
Not in the least. I've known lots of teens to have therapists. Including me. A therapist can make all the difference in your life.
no. It makes you look weak. Who said life was easy? Suck it up, you can take it.
As a peson probubly your parents age. Of course not it does not make a loser. If anythig u will have a better view point on matters and in a few years be years ahead of yours friends. Good luck .
You do not need to fear being honest enough with yourself and caring about yourself and getting help with a therapist! Is it better to need one NOW or 30 years from now and have all those years of unhappiness built up in your mind and heart and soul? After you lost the love of your life because you could not function right? Losing jobs because of anger?
No. You go and get your help. Anyone that doesnt care for you enough is not WORTH their opinion! If they judge you, then you dont need THIER opinion, right?
I do not believe it is right to suffer, if there is valid help to be gained. I do not believe in selfishness, but I DO believe in caring for yourself! This is caring.
Go. Get your peace back. Love yourself and let NO ONE judge you for it! Peace be with you my dear!
No, it doesn't, and is the wisest thing to do. See a therapist, but first see http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris... on pages 1 %26 2, especially the 1-800-therapist and the tips at the mental-health-abc %26 conquering stress websites. Had you been more informative, I may have been able to advise you on a suitable type of therapy.
im 16 and im seeing a counselor and no one thinks im weird. i think its a fine thing to seek profesional or doctors help i do.
You should most definitely see a therapist. And, no it would not make you a freak or a loser. If anything it makes you a responsible, self aware woman. Many, many people need and want therapy, no ones life is perfect. I suggest you get help with your problems. Therapy helped me a lot.
On the contrary, it makes you quite courageous to step up and confront those issues that are affecting your life. Not a lot of people would do that so, do not worry what other people think because you are moving forward in your life, and that is all that's important. You are not a loser or a freak. No. You are simply a human being who chooses to make their life better. Good luck. The ride won't be easy, but when you look back on your life, going to therapist will not be one of the things you regret.
no it doesn't. actually, it makes you mature ('coz you're sensible enough to think of one) and actually helps you with your problems. and no, it doesn't make you look weak. in fact, you're actually strong enough to think rationally and have therapists come to mind.
some people might think you're a freak or a loser, but that is just plain immaturity (no matter how old they are) or stupidity on their part. but then again, why should you pay attention to what others think of you? are they going to help you up when you are totally damaged? it's your life, and if you want to make it better you have every right to do so.
(of course, you don't have to tell the world that you're getting a therapist. maybe a few trusted people.)
some other kids have gotten therapists at 16, some even younger! you're not the only one who's going through a tough time, many others do so, too. hmm.. i don't think those kids are freaks or losers, so it really isn't a reason for you to be one too.
good luck! (hope i helped)
I don't know if you want to hear from an "older" person but I don't think it makes you a loser or freak. I was in the hospital at the age of 12 with a bleeding ulcer that was found when I tried to O.D. At that time it was unheard of for a child to get help from counselors. Today it is a common thing. My parents were part of my problem well most of my problem so I couldn't talk to them. I wasn't able to make friends so I was there alone to fix my own trouble and went the wrong path.
So, back to your question, don't put it off. I wish I had been able to find a therapist to talk to. I wish I had been as strong then as you are now. Find someone to talk to and open up to them. Get it out of your system and live a healthy life. God bless
No offense, but young people never listen. the best way to fix an issue of yours is to g about it your own way. it doesn't matter if its healthy or not. your morals and values will determine the outcome.
If you feel it's necessary, then go to a therapist. You are not a loser or a freak if you talk to a therapist at 16. One of my friends had been seeing a therapist at 8 years old I believe... or something close to then, but she's just 13, so it's definitely younger than you. Maybe you should talk to your friends first. I don't know. I have MANY problems myself and my friends are constantly trying to help me. I never asked them to. They did it, and still do it automatically. Maybe if you talk to them, they will help you. But you may not want them to. You have to decide what's best for you. And if you'd like, you can e-mail me. Just go to my profile and e-mail me. =) Good luck.

Please help with my anxiety...?
Somebody told me to answer these questions in order for people to help me...so here I go:
When did this start?
The anxiety has been going on for about two months, but I have just shrugged it off and moved on. Now it is far worse and sometimes I will just lay awake one morning shaking.
How often does it happen?
Now it has been happening for three days straight, no stopping. The big attacks happen around noon when I am by myself.
Is there something that triggers this?
Nothing that I know of for sure. The last thing that triggered an anxiety attack was somebody mentioning a doctor on one of my questions. I don't wish to go see a doctor, I am not in pain, I just have some little problems.
How long does it last?
Once it starts it continues for about two hours...or until I go to sleep.
Are you already on medication for this?
I am on no medication. And I do not wish to take any.
Some extra information:
Gender: Female
Age: 13
I am not going to tell my parents.
Continued-
Answer:
Dear Azooga
Thank you for posting a very detailed question which helps me to find out more about the problem in which you suffer, You sound very grown up for your age and I am pleased you used Yahoo to help yourself as most people your age would go to a grown up,
At the age of 13 I watched a program which scared me out of my wits which then triggerd a anxiety disorder inside of me
I too suffered from symptons such as
Sweating
Stomach Aches
Biting Nails and Many more
I saw a counsellor for about a 1 year and continued seeing her every monday and friday whenever I felt bad, I used to worry about everything and I continue to worry even now,
I found that the when I felt anxious I had to think straight and think about what was making me anxious
1: If I didnt know what was, I would calm myself down and say this EXACT sentance
" I have nothing to be anxious about so I shall continue my day feeling better " and It did help me
If you realise what your anxious about then access it and say
" What is the WORST case scenario about this thought "
And
" What will I do if the worst case happens "
I really do hope this helps and you start to feel [ Not completely better] But on your way to feeling better
Thank you
don't hide this from your parents,you need professional help.
there are several medications that are wonderful. I had this same problem and now I lead a happy productive life
Whatever happened with or to you 2 months ago - YOU NEED TO DEAL WITH IT, WORK IT OUT WITH SOMEONE THAT CARES FOR AND ABOUT YOU !
Also, cut out the sugars in your diet for about a week AND replace it with cheese, nuts, and fruit (no yogart) . I have a sneaking suspicion your sugar levels are elevated or off in someway. When you get these "shakes" you speak of is, are you also hungry ?
Or, have you just eaten.
Please feel free to email me privately.
Well, sometimes a chemical imbalance causes this and you must have medication to correct it. Since you don't want to go that route here are some things to do that will really help educate you on what is happenning and some resources to help you conquer this on your own. First, try and get to a library and read everthing you can about anxiety and panic disorder. Educating yourself will help you to understand it's a flush of adrenaline that gives you the horrible panic feeling. You will also learn about different techniques to control it and find what works for you. Another great resource is www.pychcentral.com Here you will find support groups, tons of information, and can actually see the stories of people going through exactly what you are. I think you will be able to handle this on your own, but if it doesn't get better, please discuss with your parents. This is nothing to be afraid of or ashamed of. You want to be happy and worry free, especially at your wonderful age! Take are of yourself, and I wish you the very best with this!

first thing is you shouldnt be embarassed by your anxiety. everyone gets it from time to time. it is a chemical inbalance in your brain and you need medication. i know you dont want to take the medicine but it is the only thing thats going to get your brain functioning right again. also dont be embarassed to tell your parents, im sure they have felt the same thing you are feeling at one point or another in their life. you have to see a doctor if you are having "big" attacks because something seriously could be wrong both mentally and physically. to make sure you are ok the doctor will test your blood presuure and your heart because panic attacks are bad for your heart. i went to the doctor just last week for anxiety after being scared for so long to go. he put me on paxil and i feel much better and i have only been taking it a week. let your guard down tell your parents, seek help, and dont be afraid to take the medicine because if you are prescribed it then you need it.
Maybe the anxiety is caused by something that you are worried about. Think about your life right now and try and see if something is causing you to worry. Examples of things that might make you worry could be problems at school, at home, or with friends, among other things. I hope you will be feeling better soon. You should get a check-up to be sure that the anxiety is not being caused by a physical problem.
The web page at the following link has a lot of information about anxiety:
http://www.webmd.com/anxiety-panic/guide...
You dont necessarily need to go to a doctor...i have the same problem as you...and I'm 18.
Before I DID go to a doctor... (I can drive so it was easier for me and i didn't tell my mom about it until after the appt cuz i didnt want her to worry)
but before my doctor gave me a script...i just bought the drugs i needed from people.
Anti-anxiety meds are easy enough to find as weed.
Try xanax.
if you need a recommended dosage or how you should take it and when to take it and all that other crap, let me know.
It's a rather detailed and extensive amount of information so I dont want to write it all out if you arent interested in alternative forms of getting medication. Personally, i see nothing wrong with it. After all, doctors are glorified drug dealers themselves. You just have to be careful is all. But I know A LOT about it from personal experience and I have extensive knowledge in medications. So if you are interested...let me know.

I don't mean to sound cruel, but if you do not go to the doctor for help and medication, you will continue to feel like this. You need to tell your parents.
When did this start?
The anxiety has been going on for about two months, but I have just shrugged it off and moved on. Now it is far worse and sometimes I will just lay awake one morning shaking.
How often does it happen?
Now it has been happening for three days straight, no stopping. The big attacks happen around noon when I am by myself.
Is there something that triggers this?
Nothing that I know of for sure. The last thing that triggered an anxiety attack was somebody mentioning a doctor on one of my questions. I don't wish to go see a doctor, I am not in pain, I just have some little problems.
How long does it last?
Once it starts it continues for about two hours...or until I go to sleep.
Are you already on medication for this?
I am on no medication. And I do not wish to take any.
Some extra information:
Gender: Female
Age: 13
I am not going to tell my parents.

Answer:
Dear Azooga
Thank you for posting a very detailed question which helps me to find out more about the problem in which you suffer, You sound very grown up for your age and I am pleased you used Yahoo to help yourself as most people your age would go to a grown up,
At the age of 13 I watched a program which scared me out of my wits which then triggerd a anxiety disorder inside of me
I too suffered from symptons such as
Sweating
Stomach Aches
Biting Nails and Many more
I saw a counsellor for about a 1 year and continued seeing her every monday and friday whenever I felt bad, I used to worry about everything and I continue to worry even now,
I found that the when I felt anxious I had to think straight and think about what was making me anxious
1: If I didnt know what was, I would calm myself down and say this EXACT sentance
" I have nothing to be anxious about so I shall continue my day feeling better " and It did help me
If you realise what your anxious about then access it and say
" What is the WORST case scenario about this thought "
And
" What will I do if the worst case happens "
I really do hope this helps and you start to feel [ Not completely better] But on your way to feeling better
Thank you
don't hide this from your parents,you need professional help.
there are several medications that are wonderful. I had this same problem and now I lead a happy productive life
Whatever happened with or to you 2 months ago - YOU NEED TO DEAL WITH IT, WORK IT OUT WITH SOMEONE THAT CARES FOR AND ABOUT YOU !
Also, cut out the sugars in your diet for about a week AND replace it with cheese, nuts, and fruit (no yogart) . I have a sneaking suspicion your sugar levels are elevated or off in someway. When you get these "shakes" you speak of is, are you also hungry ?
Or, have you just eaten.
Please feel free to email me privately.
Well, sometimes a chemical imbalance causes this and you must have medication to correct it. Since you don't want to go that route here are some things to do that will really help educate you on what is happenning and some resources to help you conquer this on your own. First, try and get to a library and read everthing you can about anxiety and panic disorder. Educating yourself will help you to understand it's a flush of adrenaline that gives you the horrible panic feeling. You will also learn about different techniques to control it and find what works for you. Another great resource is www.pychcentral.com Here you will find support groups, tons of information, and can actually see the stories of people going through exactly what you are. I think you will be able to handle this on your own, but if it doesn't get better, please discuss with your parents. This is nothing to be afraid of or ashamed of. You want to be happy and worry free, especially at your wonderful age! Take are of yourself, and I wish you the very best with this!

first thing is you shouldnt be embarassed by your anxiety. everyone gets it from time to time. it is a chemical inbalance in your brain and you need medication. i know you dont want to take the medicine but it is the only thing thats going to get your brain functioning right again. also dont be embarassed to tell your parents, im sure they have felt the same thing you are feeling at one point or another in their life. you have to see a doctor if you are having "big" attacks because something seriously could be wrong both mentally and physically. to make sure you are ok the doctor will test your blood presuure and your heart because panic attacks are bad for your heart. i went to the doctor just last week for anxiety after being scared for so long to go. he put me on paxil and i feel much better and i have only been taking it a week. let your guard down tell your parents, seek help, and dont be afraid to take the medicine because if you are prescribed it then you need it.
Maybe the anxiety is caused by something that you are worried about. Think about your life right now and try and see if something is causing you to worry. Examples of things that might make you worry could be problems at school, at home, or with friends, among other things. I hope you will be feeling better soon. You should get a check-up to be sure that the anxiety is not being caused by a physical problem.
The web page at the following link has a lot of information about anxiety:

You dont necessarily need to go to a doctor...i have the same problem as you...and I'm 18.
Before I DID go to a doctor... (I can drive so it was easier for me and i didn't tell my mom about it until after the appt cuz i didnt want her to worry)
but before my doctor gave me a script...i just bought the drugs i needed from people.
Anti-anxiety meds are easy enough to find as weed.
Try xanax.
if you need a recommended dosage or how you should take it and when to take it and all that other crap, let me know.
It's a rather detailed and extensive amount of information so I dont want to write it all out if you arent interested in alternative forms of getting medication. Personally, i see nothing wrong with it. After all, doctors are glorified drug dealers themselves. You just have to be careful is all.

Please help me?
I am getting to a point where i just want to kill myself. My bf cant see me this week on our own (we wil see each other Wednesday but in a big group of people) and he cant because of commitments with work, family etc and i know thats fine but when he told me i completely flew off the handle! I started accusing him of not loving me and not caring and that he doesnt want to see me. He said that he does want to see me but he cant as he hs other things that he has already arranged. I know i am being totally unreasonable but i keep flying into these possessive rages and i fear i am drinving him away by being like this. I know he loves me and i know he cares so why am i always looking for constant reassurance? He is a swwt guy and has given me no reason not to trust him and i am being so awful to him! How do i stop this? I know it is down to my insecurities and i know that when i fly off the handle and start shouting at him i shouldnt but i cant stop myself. I feel so worthless. Wat do i do?
Answer:
First, killing yourself is not an option, especially over a guy. I too have felt that way, but your life is much bigger than the troubles you are facing right now. It's natural to be insecure and to always feel that you're not good enough or that your mate is going to leave you. But you're giving him a reason to sway if you keep flying off like this over small things. He has a life, and he had one before he met you. So you need to realize that and be as flexible and understanding as possible. Don't hand-cuff your man to you...it will only make him resentful to the point where he breaks away. Spend the free time when you can't be with him to yourself and relax, do something you like to do and most importantly, learn to be okay with yourself. If you know that he loves you, then rest and be assured of that. I would really suggest some deep meditation and relaxation because it sounds to me like you're having anxiety...I've been there and done that. It makes you feel like you're going crazy. But you're not going crazy, you're just wound up. Try to relax and enjoy whatever amount of time you have with him. When you start to relax, he'll take notice and love you even more. Good luck!
Wow, you're one of those crazy girls that are the ex's of men I've dated. You are the stuff of legends. The kind of ex that make me look normal!! Thanks.
If he has a mind at all, he'll dump you, but that's what you want isn't it? If not, why not behave rationally since you clearly know your behaviour is irrational and driving him away. You need to seek out professional help if you can't seem to figure it out yourself.
You are totally confused. please do not confuse others. read your question and check if you have understood what you are asking?
You need to calm down and also work on your self esteem. From what you say, your bf is a responsible and caring guy with valid commitments this weekend. Your rage and insecurity are going to push people away, and then you'll feel worse and even more insecure. I think you need to see a doctor about these issues. They may very well be hormonal, or you may be depressed and need to be on antidepressants for a while while you talk to someone (professional) about what's behind all this insecurity so you can break the cycle and accept that people like your bf care about you because you're worthy of their love and care.
My advice to you would get involved with something else to occupy with time when he is busy. Take a fun class like dancing or art, join a book group or join a church group for young adults.
I know how it is when you fly off the handle when he tells you he is busy. Believe it gets no easier if ya'll get married then he'll have work, school, family and friends. I sometimes feel this way but I have learn to stop myself and just try to redirect my attention to something else or my kids.
Good Luck and know you aren't alone.
give him a little space and you take some for yourself. Yous are still young yet . Do you really truly trust him? Sounds like you don't
Honestly, SEE A DOCTOR!
If you're going into rages or emotional crashes, it could be depression, bi-polar, or some condition that's causing it.
SEE A DOCTOR!
i think you need time to think carefully (just for you) to clear your head,i understand why you cant meet on wednesday,but i cant see why you feel insecure when you know just how much he loves you.are you scared that the time apart could change his entire perspective.well it wont if he truly loves you he will find a way to settle things soon.when you fall into an insecure rage just tell yourself 'i love my man and he loves me too' i think your problem can be dealth with when you guys talk again though,and please try not to push him away because it usually occurs when they get stressed out! you wouldn't want that now would you?
always remember that mans r from mars and womans are from Venus. there is a yawning gap in thoughts and feelings and emotions of a man and a woman, as u told that u knows tht he loves you, then try to understand the philosophy behind the way mans shows their love. for mans love is to protect their loved ones from everything, secure their future, provide them everything. if he is committed to something else that doesn't mean that he doesn't want to see you or he doesn't love you, the only thing is that he is having a different way to show it. you both should talk to each other politely and should fix up the problems. say for example by talking you both can fix a day or two to meet in a week, or something like that. by this way you both will be able to finish your works also and meet also. conversation is the only way to solve your problem, good luck and keep your self calm, because other than you no body can help you, others can only give you the advices.;
Please know that you are not worthless and there are people around you that love and care about you. About 3 weeks ago my father committed suicide. I feel like I will never stop crying and and my family is still in shock. All I can say is please do not do anything to hurt yourself, I assure you it will not make things better for you and the pain you will inflict on your family is enormous. I know you are hurting but you are so young, just think about all the things you still have to experience in the long life ahead of you. As for your insecurities with your boyfriend, I cannot answer that for you, have you been cheated on in the past? All I could suggest is to go out more with your girlfriends, get some hobbies that do not involve him, do not let your life revolve around him. I am sure he is a great guy, and still do spend time with him, but sometimes take some time for yourself. In my experience the best relationships I had were ones where we spent time apart with friends, playing sports, etc and then when we saw each other it was even better because we had time to miss each other. And again, please if you are feeling suicidal, tell a friend or family member, see a counselor, call a hotline, anything. And please contact me if you need to talk, I would hate what happened to my family to happen to any others.
keeping yourself that way will make him bored from u, and he will make more excuses to stay away from u as long as he can...be mature and dont just act like a crazy girl who's ruining her bf's life without a reason...u have to appreciate his work his family all this...if u trust him as u say then dont worry...but it seems that u dont completely...don't ruin ur sweet relation, just have fun n enjoy ur time u're still young...
You are obviosly feeling lonely and are searching for someone or something to fill the void. It is important to realize the relationship that you put yourself into. If you date a guy that has to many responsibilities to pay you any piece of mind, it might be best to move on and find a better match.
Even if he is sweet and doesn't cheat, he isn't giving you the special time that you need together. It may help if you to talk to him about doing something together (just you and him). It is important to tell him how you feel and not scream it at him. Guys do have the tendency to practice selective hearing. As soon as a womans voice rises she become into nothing but a B****. You are not in a healthy relationship if your emotional needs are not being met. It is important to try to work it out but if things don't change it may be time to re-examine wether you want to live your life in constant dismay rather then be peaceful, happy, and secure.

Please help me?
Sometime I will be walking or something and all of the suddent I will get really hot and dizzy and I will feel almost detached from my body, and I will just like鈥onder鈥hat is this? What is this ground that I am walking on? Am I real? How can everything be solid? What is everything? Are we real? And it is just so weird and I like freak out. It鈥檚 so unreal, like thinking on a whole new level. It鈥檚 like time just slows down and it so weird.
So what exactly is happening? This really freaks me out.
Answer:
Something as important as this should be answered by a doctor:Please make an appointment, don't count on an answer from people you don't know that may not have a medical background.
Your body may be low on something. Like an iron defficincy. or something like that. go to your doc. and talk to him, he will prolly do a blood test to see if you have any defficincys or what no.
It def sounds like a physical problem that may be brain related or something other then that.See a doctor.
Get yourself to a doctor, or have your parents get you checked out. I don't know how old you are, but you should have that checked. Laack of oxygen makes people get fuzzy headed. Maybe there is a circulatory problem or something going on with your brain. That would freak me out too. It's worth a trip to the doc.
You may need to get checke dout for diabetes.
My grandmother kept feeling dizzy and then the doctor checked her and sure enough she had it.
i hope this helps you!!
Sounds to me like a panic attack, but you might want to get a complete physical and tell the doc about how you are feeling.
I don't get panic attacks, but a friend of mine does and she described those feelings as well. I faint sometimes from low blood pressure and some of the feelings you (and my friend) have described are similar to what happens to me before I faint...it's a difficult feeling to describe but you've done a pretty good job of it.
I suggest a complete checkup. Good luck to you.
Please consult a doctor. its serious!!! maybe physical weakness..Eat more too!!and Drink lots of water!!
well first of all dont panic it will just make you scared which can leave to a panic attack u can have a syndrome or diabetes, or ur just low on something dont worry
If it is accompanied by nausea, disorientation, hunger and a mild panic sensation it is probably low blood sugar.
Otherwise, your brain is a very powerful tool. You can fool yourself into all kinds of illusions. Remember that just because you have thoughts running through your head they aren't necessarily good thoughts. Control your mind. Nobody else will.
Good luck.

Go a doctor now. It might be just a deficiency that can be fix with suplement. But it might be brain cancer or something. GO TO A DOCTOR
I would go to the doctor, because that could be really serious, or it might not be. I would go and get it checked out though, just to be sure.
