scared of being ..mental

[Yasminjayde]

ok , so i have been discharged from phycology (or however you spell it) i have been goin there for about 2 years, since i first went to the GP when i was 13. I was suffering from panic attacks, mainly as a result of being bullied. Since i havnt been going to therapy, i havent been having panic attacks. But now i suffer from flashbacks of hallucionations i used to have as a todler, its horrible, i havnt really told anyone. and i also have strange mood swings, which i think some people have noticed..i can become very depressed and cry about everything, and then the next minute i am over exited about things..and almost attention seeking and loud. i have also started smoking, and doing various other rebellious things. I dont know what has happened, i thought i had changed since my panic attacks, but now i am a completly different person, i just dont feel myself.

Heya,

First of all don't go putting labels on yourself! From what you're describing it sounds that since the bullying stopped and since the panic attacks have died down, that something deeper rooted from your past is resurfacing! It would've lain dormant because there wee other more immediate issues for you to have to deal with!

I think that you should ask for a fresh referral to your psychologist so that you can discuss these things that are obviously causing you a lot of distress!

Finally stop giving yourself such a hard time, it's what's happening to you that's causing you to behave this way, but if people around you don't know then they can't help!!!!

Let us know how u get on!

i agreee with the other person who replyed.
dont label yourself.
i was bullied alot as a child by people at school
and most of my family at home.
try to keep posting here and it might help you to talk abot any problems your having.
try keeping a journal, it sounds geeky sometimes but it realllyyyy helps.
if you dont feel comfortable tlking to a counsoler or person about it,
try calling one of those hotlines.
it helps just to really talk about things outloud.
if your not there then just try to relax.
try yoga, if you dont feel comorfatble doing it publicly or dont have $
then try looking up vidoes online.
if you like reading try to read happy books.
stay away from watching scary movies and things that will cause you to be stressed.
if your relioguss maybe try streghthening your relationship with god or whoever you belive in.

hope this helps email me anytime.
