When you're stressed you get depressed
& when you're depressed you get
stressed >> so you first need to
relax. Second re the am I crazy -
probably not but if there's a history in
your family of mental illness get yourself
checked if you feel that it will help you
deal & get on with life.
A couple of personal development course
would probably help - like assertiveness
also self-esteem - these should help you
to react appropriately(not yell or cry but
handle situations better - they may even
help you deal with your father - much of
the issue there may be to do with you
being an adult & needing space etc but
him seeing you as his baby!! - or perhaps
it's also to do with you not handling
things better??)
as to finances i'd suggest you write down
all that you choose to spend money on for
a week & then consider whether you're
using your money wisely or not & see
where you can adjust/alter your spending
so that you don't have so many worries in
this area.
Your body may well be acting up purely due
to stress which can also cause periods to
disappear !!!!

No you are not crazy. You just have a
lot of stresses in your life. That can
cause a depression. Your period could be
gone b/c of the stress, that can happen.
It does sound like you are not dealing
w/the stress very well, a little
overwhelmed. Sometimes when we are
depressed, it's hard to deal with stress
that we normally do okay with.
Go online and take a depressoin quiz and
see if you have a lot of the symptoms.
You might try talking to a counselor or
going to see your doctor. Good luck!!
Things will get better!

Your not crazy. I thought I was going
mad. I had this ticking noise in my head
every time I had a stressfull situation.
Just like a bomb waiting to go off. It
did go off 4 months ago in my managers
office at work. I was given a email from
head office telling the manager she had to
do something about my mood, attitude and
other things that I dont remember. I
burst into tears and cried for at least an
hour before getting my self together and
going to the doctor. I was offered
counseling and given a perscription.
If you got to the doctor, chech out all
the options if you are depressed. Ive had
6 weeks counseling, read 2 books and got
the medicine and still know theres a long
way to go. What makes it hard is im a 29
year old male. Good luck

Hello callie,
i can give you some of the biological
reasons why you feel the way you do.
When you are under stress stress hormone
interfere with the production of your
'happy hormone" such as serotonin. This
can cause depression. Usually when the
stress situation has been resolved most
people start producing serotonin again and
everything seems to be going alright.
However some people do not seem to recover
from the stress reaction and continue to
be upset and depressed. Thus the question
is whether this is ‘endogenous depression’
or ‘environmental depression”. Generally
if you know why you are depressed it most
likely to be environmental depression, but
if you do not understand why you are
depressed or so easily upset it could be
‘endogenous’ depression.
There are many reasons how people become
depressed because of physiological
reasons. One is a genetic predisposition
inherited from the family. The fact that
you said your father is yelling at you,
may indicate that he is not always in
control of his emotions either.
Whether inherited or not, a lot can be
done by yourself if you consider
depression to be due to a health problem
rather than a ‘mental’ problem.
Many experts think - I believe wrongly -
that depression is due to wrong attitudes
and belief systems, and that you can be
talked out of depression by long talking
sessions with a psychologist. I believe
that depressive thoughts are symptoms of
an underlying biochemical disorder -
contributing to depression - and not the
causes of depression. Therefore you
cannot be talked out of a physiological
disease.
There are many biochemical reasons why
people are depressed, and most of it has
to do how our body produces the right
neurotransmitters from the food we eat.
It has been found that many depressed
people have insulin resistance
(hypoglycemia) that can be treated in a
change of diet. By adopting the
hypoglycemic diet, we can lessen the
unstable blood sugar levels, insulin and
stress hormone levels that causes us so
often to be emotionally upset without a
proper reason.
Thus I suggest that you investigate the
connection between depression and
hypoglycemia and then discuss this with a
therapist.
You can test yourself for hypoglycemia
with the nbi at our web site. It is at:
