Anxiety?

[heaarrtt]

I'm 15 and a girl. I had very bad stomach pains a while ago and after many months of different medicines and blood tests it was assumed I have ibs. I've recently been having very bad mood swings as in I even shout at my best friend and my family. also my eyes been twitching for days at a time. could I have a stress (the ibs was originally thought to be something to do with anxiety.) I have problems at home my sister has anorexia and I suspect other mental problems I myself have problems with friendship school and 'love' and when something happens I shake/shiver for about 20 minutes and I can't control it. I've been feeling faint randomly as if the room is spinning, I also get headaches sometimes. should I go to the doctors cause it's really starting to affect my life..

getting angry all the time, hating my body, doing the things I mentioned at the start, crying everynight, wishing I was never born etc

What exactly does your father think is 'normal' for teenagers?

I asked mum and she told dad so I told him what was up and he said that's normal for teenagers?

thank you :) i was thinking of just asking my mum if i could talk to a counselor or something just so i can talk to someone outside of the family but last time i did she told me not to be so pathetic so im not sure, although that was a while ago

ShyTeen has put this in a good perspective for you. With your sister having the issues she is having, your parents are understandably focused on her and her well being. That, in turn, can leave you in the dark. You are still their child as well and they love you, speak to them about all of these issues you are trying to deal with on your own. Counseling with your family issues would probably help you as well. Take care

im currently on 'spasmonal' or something similar to that name, but when im nervous the medicine makes no difference. i just dont want to make a deal out of it if its nothing because my parents have been through alot with my sister and i dont want them to get upset
