What would you say is wrong with me?
I plan on seeing a doctor soon but I was hoping someone out there could give some insight and even maybe advice to what is wrong with me. I feel wound up tight inside and feel like crying most of the time. I don’t think I am depressed since when I answer those questionaires I don’t really have a lot of the symptoms. I just feel so stressed out I can’t think straight and this has been going on for months, so much so I had to quit my job. I can’t concentrate, I keep a headache nearly all the time, my sleep is very broken, and I just feel like if I could control these physical symptoms I would be ok. I am normally a very optimistic positive person. I feel so weak though right now. If I can just stay home for the most part I am fine but whenever I am asked to be in a responsible position the fear and anxiety comes out. I learned the hard way I cannot work in a high pressure environment which my job very much was. (on for several hours, no breaks, dealing with many things at once etc)
I am ok financially for a few weeks and I have a temp agency working on finding me something else, but I do eventually have to go to work. What can I do to work on what is wrong with me, and what do you think it is?
Also I forgot to add, the crying is really a physical response to the pent up anxiety. I really don’t know what I am crying about when the tears start flowing.
I could be wrong but I don’t think PMS lasts so long you start to wonder if this is just the way it is always going to be…

I think you answered your own question in the details section…it sounds an awful lot like anxiety to me. THis is very treatable with medication, but meditation, exercise, yoga, lots of other things can help. Please be open with your physician- there are lots of alternatives you can try in alleviating this problem. You’ll be fine! Good luck!
It sounds like PMS.
You may not think it is depression, but there are many forms of depression. Some are caused by chemical imbalances in the body. Some are caused by undiagnosed illnesses. Please have a very good medical check-up. Be sure you go to a Dr. you feel comfortable talking to and please be candid about all your symptoms. I wish the best for you.
You sound very stressed. Be sure to take time to relax every once and a while. Don’t totally withdraw from your life, but find a way to relax and calm yourself. This world has gotten very fast paced and high stress. Focus on the simple joys of life.
Sometimes storing up anxious feelings and not "venting" (usually talking to someone about things) can cause this as well.
Just relax and know that it is going to be ok. If you feel like you should see a doctor, then do so. Even talking to a councilor can help feeling like this.
You are extremely stressed you need to take some sleeping pills. Try Melatonin it will relax you and as long as you get 8 hours of sleep or more you will wake up refreshed but don’t take more than one they are very potent. You can find them at almost any place you buy vitamins. Walmart CVS even health food places. You are crying because you are stressed and overtired.
I would say it is an anxiety disorder and that your job just wasn’t for you
lets use deductive reasoning. what situations are you ok with.
do you soak in a nice hot tub and read it relieves stress?
1) can you do errands? shop, get gas, pay bills, pick up the mail? y/ n?
2) can you watch a neighbors kids while they work? y or n?
3) could you work in a store alone stocking shelves? y or n?
4) could you drive a cab, pick up people, drop them off, take fares? y / n?
5) if you did something else for a living would you feel less stress or more?
6) do you eat fast food or fresh white fish & colorful vegetables for dinner?
7) do you take enough B vitamins they relieve stress?
9) do you get enough exercise? it helps you sleep and relieves stress.
10) do you eat chocolate? it give people the feeling of being loved.
11) do you talk with neighbors, family, church members? being connected help some people feel grounded and a part of something.
12) do you (break large jobs into smaller manageable tasks) or just think of how much time it will take to do all this and feel overwhelmed?
13) practicing yoga or tai chi will help relieve stress also.
14) have a blood test done and make sure it’s normal: see if you are low in iron or anything.
i’m not a doctor but i don’t think you have a mental disorder. i think you may need a career change, a better diet and regular exercise but then most american’s are in the same shape you are they just cover it up or distract themselves with alcohol, drugs, sex, shoping or some other compulsive behavior. take every day one moment to the next and remember to give yourself quality relaxation time.
