girls, I need serious help
Permalink Closed

Work has been stressful lately, and I am a wreck of nerves (see the episode a couple of weeks ago when I bursted into tears b/c of an equipment failure).


I woke up this morning and started crying. I couldn't stop. I went bike riding thinking that exercising would calm me down. But then, after the shower, I started crying again and now I can't stop.


Don't know what to do. May be I should take the day off, but staying home alone can be worse. I look ugly and my eyes are red and swollen.


Should I see a doctor? I am really scared of myself now, I am even shaking.


Please, some advice.

I'm sorry to hear that.  Maybe you should call a doctor.  Or a counselor.  Just talking to someone about everything might make you feel better (at least for the moment).  Talking to a doctor can't hurt anything.  I hope you feel better soon.

Definately take the day off.  Recoup, gather yourself.  Call a close friend and talk if you need to; you obviously have to get something out.  Take care of yourself, sweetie.

I know this sounds so typical, but I get that way, at least on the brink of tears when I am under stress if the stress also coincides with my period starting the next day.  Two days later I could be under the same stress and yet I will be wondering what I was freaking out over.  It's likely just chemical, so you will work through it.

I hope you are taking the day off.  Is this the first time you've felt really out of control?  If so, it could be a temporary thing that will be gone tomorrow--but if it goes on, definitely go see someone.  If you have been feeling this way (especially having feelings of being out of control or thinking things will never improve) for a while, call your doctor today to make an appointment soon.  Usually when you reach a point where you think you need help, you do (and wanting to see someone is a good sign that you are motivated get well).  Give us an update, I'll be thinking about you!

Oh, no!  That sounds awful!  I've had days like this as well - definitely take the day off and do things that your normally wouldn't allow yourself (sit on the couch and watch soaps, eat and entire gallon of ice cream, get a large pizza delivered just for you, take a nap, etc).  Sounds like you just reached your breaking point, even if nothing super-serious happened to cause it - it only takes a straw to break the camels back, you know?


Take care of yourself and feel free to vent whenever you need to.

Thanks girls!


I tried to go to work, but it was awful. I talked for one hour with to only other guy who is on my same project, he was very nice and helpful. He too suggested me to go home, relax, go somewhere and put my thoughts on paper, just so I know what I am doing next and how I am doing it. So now I am home, and I feel much better already.


Lorelei, I wound't be so scared if this was right before my period, but it's not, so I am pretty sure this is not chemical. I see how I feel for the nest week, if I stil feel like this I am going to see someone.


Love you girls!

Take the day off and relax and rejuvenate, I have days like that when the stress is so much and I am in perpetual tears. Call your mom or a good friend who you can vent to!! I hope you feel better! Another thing that really helps me is writing in a journal or even just a scrap of paper what I am frustrated about, it takes it out of you and is a real stress buster!
