What should I do?

hello,
i am 14 years old and i have been having sudden urges to eat. i feel like it's uncontrolable. i was searching it up on google and an anxiety page came up so i clicked on it and while i was reading the symptoms, i realize i have many of them. i worry about what people think of me, i'm always filled with energy, i have chest tightness, i suddenly feel panicked, i'm always cold, i've gotten paler, i get nervous for no reason, i get very tired, i have sudden mood swings, i dont have patience, i get angry very easily, i get a dry throat that doesnt go away for a while, constipation, ect.

in the summer of 2008, i was given Fluoxtine, a pill that calmed me down, i realized that when these pills finished (i havnt gone back to the doctors), i got these symtoms (symptoms).

im not exactly sure of what i should do or how to tell my mom, i dont want to tell her then be wrong.

Jaquta gave you the perfect advice, I have nothing to add except be open, and tell the doctor and your mother everything they need to know to help you.

I think it's OK to be wrong.  We can't be expected to have the knowledge or experience health professionals have gained through many years of education and training.

I think it is a good idea to talk to your mother and to let her know how you feel.
I think talking about what you think and feel could be a good place to start.  Also, let her know how you feel your symptoms affect you.

I think it would be a good idea to re-visit your doctor.  A doctor is able to perform a physical exam to rule out other conditions which may be influencing how you feel.  They can then refer you to other specialists if need be.
Asking to see a psychiatrist may be a good idea.

I think you should talk to your mother, talk to a doctor and talk to a psychotherapist.  I think you need to work with a therapist to work through what is causing the anxiety.

I think the compulsion to eat is a way for you to not feel so anxious about things going on in your life.  This too can be worked through in therapy.
Dr Gould is very knowledgeable about emotional eating and has a website (shrinkyourself.com) that you may find useful.

Talk to your mum.  She sounds like someone who would listen.

I am only 16 and I wounder how as a young age how do I get these probelms I didnt ever think that I would be walking to my doctors and asking him what is wrong with me ??

It was a few months untill I was able to speak out I wasn't sure if I was only been stupid or it was something that I wouls need treatment for.

I started to hear voices in my head I thought that it may be the drink that did it to me then I realise that I was drinking becuase of the voices.

What do I do ?? My Mum doeant know we have nver had the best of relationship so I havent really felt that I could turn to her for help I was on my own again.

I left it for a month or so to see if the voices would just go on their but they havent their still there:(

I spoke to my doctor and he just said that it was because i havent been eating and m,y brain doesnt work as good as normal, but I never had been a big of food and I am still not I don't really eat much but I just thought to my self well why now the voices will come and not eailer ??

please would you listen and try to help me as I am really stuck and this website is the only thing that I have really got to talk to about this problem.

That makes many of us who are misunderstood and fobbed off by family and health professionals.  The internet does have limits though.

If your mother is unable to help could you try a responsible trusted adult?

I think you need to arrange to see a psychiatrist.  I'm not sure how you would go about doing that in the UK.  Would the doctor you saw refer you?

Maybe this forum expert can advise you too.  If not, you could try posting another question.  There is a limited number of questions that can be posted each day so you may need to persevere.

Definitely try and access a psychiatrist though.  Your mother might be able to help you with this.  ??
