i am new here and just looking for some advice

[Missk]

hello,
im 15 years of age. im currently still at school.
i suffer terribly with migraines and they can not find out why i do, i have tried every medication and nothing seems to work.
i am a terrible worrier and overthink everything.
i dont feel myself at the moment, i feel as if ive lost control and its not me anymore.
i cant concentrate, i always zone out into my own little world and think about everything.
my brain is going at 100mph and my body just cant keep up with it.
i feel depressed all of the time, just wanting to cry.
i just want to break down, not sure what to do any more :(

Hi there,
have you talked to your doctor about your anxiety? If not then it would be a good idea, he could hopefully refer you to somone to talk to about this. Or is there a counsellor at school you could speak to?

nope i have booked a appointment at the doctors tomorrow but im scared to tell him :/ yes theres a social welfare officer which i go to see because of my absence for my headaches but i feel if i tell her she wont believe me and think im making up excuses :S

DON NOT be afraid to talk this over with you doc. He will understand. For folks your age fluoxetine is approved for young folks and might be an option. He may also try lyrica, buspar or perhaps atarax(on older antihistamine with anti anxet effects). A counselor would also be a great thing to do. PM me any time. Alankay

hey that sounds very familliar to what happened to me when i was your age ,,,,im going to be totally honest to you as i think it would help longterm , i used to get headaches and and couldent think straight been to loads of different doctors speciallists and now one new what was wrong with me it took me a long time to find out and come to terms that i was suffering from anxiety ,to cut a long story short i had a rough childhood were i was kind of bullied but only realised this through councilling i was a highly sensitive teen and this caused me to go into a mindset of self pity and feeling like a victim this followed me through to my adult life until recently i decided to deal with it anxiety is a mindset you can get out just dont self pity and feel like thew victim ...this started when i was 15 i am now 31 but the positive side of that is i ve realsed what the problem was MY MINDSET

Hey Missk! I'm sorry you are having trouble. Just a thought...do your parents suffer from anxiety or depression? That could have a lot to do with your worrying and mindset. A doctor would want to know this. Migraines can be hereditary or can be caused by stress and even by what you eat and drink. I hope you have luck with your doctor!
