I've posted here a few times before. But recently I've been really tired. I'm usually fine first thing in the morning. But then around 1pm, I just feel like I haven't slept at all ( even though I sleep relatively well ). Then I also feel mentally tired. I just can't think of anything and am always Moody. I know it's not fair on my family, but I don't think they understand why I'm angry. It's starting to effect me in school, and then when I get home, I struggle to do homework. My school knows about what I'm going through, but I don't think all my teachers do do I just do my best. Can anxiety cause this? If so, does anyone have any idea what I could do?
Your diet and sleep patterns might play a huge role in this. Sounds like a sugar low around that time. Fix your diet and include wholesome food choices. If you have no allergies here try peanut butter on apples around lunch with your meal. Be very sure to drink lots of water. Even a cliff bar can help you out in a jam. Your age plays a big role in your moodiness part because your body is maturing and those lovely hormones go up and down rapidly as well. If you have no exercise in all this throw it into the mix as well. A stagnant body gets very sluggish. See if that helps for a few weeks. If you have a healthy diet with numerous small healthy meals, sleep well and exersice daily and still feel off then speak with your doctor.
You say you are angry and moody? You have to ask yourself why honey. Why all this anger. I think we both know the answer
Hanging onto such feeling, keeping a lid on it, brooding, it is hurting you and hurting your family. That's the reason you feel tired and can't think straight. It's affecting your life, your family honey. The stress of it all is exhausting
I know you can't help it but the truth is how you find yourself, which is unhappy,is not going to go away. We can't hide from problems. We have to face them. Find a way to sort them out. You'll feel better if you do
You have to let it go, Jack. be honest, tell your Mum or a trusted teacher or someone who you know will respect and at least try to understand where you're coming from
You're young and have much to look forward to. You have choices, Jack. Stick in this angry rut or dig yourself out of it and the only way to do that is to be open and honest with your family and, more importantly, with yourself
You can do this. I know you can. You've just lost your way a bit
My diet is healthy enough...I do to to the gym but haven't gone in a few weeks as I'm back to school. I plan on going back this weekend so that should help. I'm trying to drink enough water ( however I'd say I don't) I will try the peanut butter on Apples
Hi Helen, I have been talking more the last few days, maybe not enough ttho.. I was talking to my year head in school, who is after getting on to the school counsellor, and I will be seeing her soon. ( I saw her before summer, but not since). I've started doing Pilates so maybe they'll help me, and I am also trying to keep a healthy diet and drink plenty of water. Thanks for the reply, Jack
