Hi I am a 17 year old girl and am hoping for some guidance/input.
I am a secure, confident person with no outstanding fears and am by no means a worrier (quite the opposite actually lol), nor do I consciously get stressed about things, - yet at the same time I periodically deal with extreme tension for no apparent reason.
I loose the ability to socialize (I technically can but find it a strain & something I really have to force myself to do) & interacting with people makes me increasingly stressed. But even if there is no outside contact, i still remain very tense and incapable of relaxing.
During this time I try everything to achieve temporary relief - baths, reading, watching tv, working out, hanging out with friends, not hanging out with friends etc. NOTHING helps. It generally lasts for about a week and then goes away as abruptly as it starts. The only thing that provides temporary relief during these times is lots of simple carb based food & chocolate. & of course the temporary relief it provides at the time turns into a long term pain in my (ever enlarging) butt! lol
I have No idea what is causing this. It's been going on for quite a while and comes and goes seemingly without reason. It does not appear to be related to my period & occurs regardless of what is going on in my life. I am typically a very healthy eater & workout daily. I'm on no medication & have no health problems.
Any ideas as to what this is & how to manage it are much appreciated! Thank you!
