Hey to all! Right now I’m feeling absolutely terrible. I am so confused, and I don’t have anyone that I can just say everything that’s on my mind…in terms of someone who knows me enough to know what I’m talking about…etc…I just don’t know how to describe it.

Hi Sarah,
Well can you give us a clue as to why you’re feeling so awful? I just got off the phone w/ my granddaughter who is about your age and she’s feeling awful too!
I sing to her when she is down and tell her nice stories about what life was like when I was her age and that I still remember how hard it was at times to be your age…
God Bless,Annunciata:)
 
Would you feel comfortable talking about your feelings here?

Even if you don’t, maybe you could try writing your feelings down. Write what happened that made you feel that way, write what you are feeling, write what you are thinking etc.

Writing will help you to understand your feelings and not feel overwhelmed by them.
 
Nothing seems to be going right. I’m just feeling down-right rotten right now.:(…maybe it’s just mood swings…I don’t know…
 
It could be moodswings. Are you about to get your period?

If you’re suddenly feeling down it might be a good idea to do something like exercise. Maybe you could do jumping jacks for fifteen minutes or so. This will produce endorphins and serotonin in your brain and make you feel much better!

I get these feelings at times, and exercise helps to make them go away.

Good advice! I use that approach often…especially when I get down…sometimes if I think of something funny and I can laugh…that helps. Hey Sarah, go take a look at some of the jokes in the Joke Contest Thread…see if that helps… Annunciata:)

My granddaughter is PMS…maybe that’s it?

God does, Sweety.

We are all here for you, and even if we may not have exact details in commen, we all know what it’s like to feel lonely and confused. Journaling is an excellent idea, especially if it is directed towards Jesus, or your Heavenly Mother, or any of your older brothers and sisters in Heaven. Their prayers are powerful! Also when addressing ourselves Heavenward, it helps us to see more clearly.

God bless!

PS, I remember what it was like to be thirteen … shudder!😉
 
if you and your mom have really been getting into it, go and apologize to her, tell her you love her. Sometime when she is in a good mood, not too busy, ask her to set aside some time each week when you can talk and she will promise to listen, and not give an answer back unless you ask her too. Not while she is putting groceries away, driving, paying bills, doing laundry–quiet time together, just the 2 of you. Rules are though, if you do ask her opinion, you have to listen to her, without interrupting, without talking or whining. Then, to make this work, you end this discussion when you have each had your say, so it does not become an arguement. If either one of you breaks the rules, break it off for that session, try again next week. Once your mom is not the enemy anymore, a lot of other things will fall into place.
 
Try to find somebody that you really trust, a close friend, family member, mother, etc. and talk to them in person. They might be able to help you. I really hope you feel better soon.
 
Sarah–First, spend some time sorting out what is at the root of your feelings. Identify what is causing it–do you feel like you are not getting enough attention at home, is school frustrating, are your friends/peers causing frustration, or could it be hormonal fluctuations? It really is good to identify the source of the feelings, even if you are embarassed because you think you are being selfish or feeling sorry for yourself. Denying your emotions is not good, neither is wallowing in them (not that I am saying you are). Once you have identified what it is, you may realize there is nothing much you can do about the “problem” because often the cause of blue feelings in teens is frustration at not being fully “in control” of your life. Consider distraction when you are feeling blue (read a good book), watch a movie, get some exercise, etc. or do something kind for someone else–write your grandmother a letter or make something for someone. (Try baking, but just don’t eat the whole batch of brownies–the weight gain will just give you another reason to be blue!) 😉
 
No, I just got over my period a couple of days ago. It’s interesting that several people suggested exercise. I do everyday. Unfortunately, I don’t really have a close friend. Except Podo2004. But I haven’t heard from him since Nov. 17th.😦 It’s weird. I’ve been feeling really happy for some parts of the day, and then everything just goes down hill. I do really apperciate being able to get ideas, and talk to all of you. Hopefully I can get to know you better. I consider you all as part of my family…kind of. I just need to get to know you all better. I am having a weird sense of emotions though…

Hi Sarah,
Maybe you are missing Podo… I know my grandaughter who is near your age as I mentioned in a previous post was very down and weepy…well her parents couldn’t figure out her moodiness until they were putting money under her pillow for the Tooth Fairy and they found a note from her to the Tooth Fairy describing her pain…not the pain of losing her tooth but the awful pain she was experiencing from the news that her very best friend was moving away to another town… Somehow couldn’t say it verbally to her parents so she wrote it down(she knows they are the Tooth Fairy…she’s milking it …)😃 . I guess what I’m trying to say is that friends are very special at your age…at any age really and when the go away or something…we can feel really bad. Hope this helps, Annunciata:)

Awww … no wallowing … I love wallowing.:crying:

Seriously though, it’s worth it to try different things, you might find a new interest or hobby. Distraction is good, reading … a movie. Sometimes for me … the trick is too get dressed and be social. Hang around upbeat people.

Othertimes, I have a “comfort day”. I give myself permission to do as little as possible. I even have a uniform. It is my husbands pajama pants, a hoodie with the hood up, my slippers, and SHEP my favorite stuffed animal. My kids love those days, lots of snuggling and cozy stuff.

Oh yes, and sometimes I wallow.:o I have found that if I give myself permission to feel sad, and let it all out, I start to feel better.

God bless!

It could be a “teen thing”, but if you check out the thread “Christmas Blues”, it could be seasonal also.

Stuff just keeps happening to you and your family doesn’t it? I’m glad your my friend!!! And that your here…My personal opinion, I think it’s hormones…
