Hi there, I’m 16 years old and I’m wondering if you could help me cope with anxiety and stress..I’m the type of girl that likes to get things done in the best manner possible. I plan to work in the ICU as E.R doctor, it’s one of the few goals in my life and I have a lot of reason behind it.
I’m trying to make it in life because so far I’ve only been pushed down..My parents are separated and have been since I was 1 and I feel it is better that way. My mom is one of the most patient people on earth and I’ve learned that from her and my brother. My mom deals with bi-polar disorder and well my brother who is 20 years old is severely handicap with Fragile-X. We’ve lived in the projects all my life and my dad has his own problems so I’ve seen him a couples times in my lifetime.
I’ve always had a tolerance for the constant screaming and abnormal behaviors, but lately I can’t take anymore. How do I make it in life when I have my mother telling me I have to take care of my brother for the rest of my life and that I’m not allowed to go to college elsewhere then where ever he is. As I deal with high school everyone wonders why I make the choices I do. I’m not allowed to take AP classes because I have to clean the house everyday after school from top to bottom and when I did take AP classes I had to drop them because the homework took up too much time and my mom didn’t like it
Along with that I was in line for a Track scholarship but I had to quit to stay at home. I’m the president of 2 clubs but might have to quit those also because they require that I stay after school. I’m just tired of how my mom hurts me, I’m really tired of it.. I know she doesn’t mean it, but I’ve never had anyone here for me. Nobody understand what I go through. When I get straight A’s and I’m invited to a banquet celebrating the greatness of the straight A’s, I’m not allowed to go because it’s regarded as “stupid”..
It just hurts so badly to literally have no one.. Read the rest of this entry »

I work in a hostile and pressured environment. I am told by my supervisor that I have to sit up. I am tired of the organization because I put in all my effort but I am not still competent. I am starting to think that maybe I am incompetent.
I am just tired. Is it time to move on to somewhere else or what do i do next I am confused. I can’t resign because I have a mortgage to pay. I am totally mortified.

Dear Tolam,
Thanks for writing in with your problem. It sounds like your job has been very stressful and it’s getting the better of you. I don’t know a lot about your situation but it sounds like there may be some harassment going on by the management.
There are laws that prevent the unfair treatment of workers and you do not have to put up with such treatment. Are you part of a workers union? If not, research for local employee advocacy groups. Either your union or the advocacy group can give you legal guidelines to follow in order to make things better.

My husband of 16 years was arrested last month and is being deported and at the time he was the only one working. I lost my job. I have 3 kids and will be homeless in 9 days. I have been looking for any job just to survive, but with no luck. The family that I have do not believe in God and tells me to find a boyfriend. I am starting to lose faith in God.
What should I do? I love my husband, but he will be deported. My family has a “do what you got to do” attitude whether its morally or legally right. I am trying to stand strong on God’s Word and believe He will not give me more then I can bare but each day its getting harder. I need help, please, what do you think I need to do? I can not go to a shelter and I have no job what should I do.

Where do I begin, I am your typical teenager with unique qualities, thoughts, and dreams. I like to draw, I write poems, and I’m pretty healthy…I hope.
However, I cant seem to figure out why it’s so hard for me to get out of bed in the morning or why I suddenly get tired and don’t want to do anything, now it’s not laziness because I’m up and about playing with kids, working out, and I’m hyperactive. I could say I just enjoy sleeping, but I believe its a little more complex than that, like I emotionally depend on sleep.
There are only 3 things I find of high importance which are food, sleep, and music. I’m not overweight, I’m very skinny actually. Yes, once upon a time I was depressed, but I got over that or at least I thought. It might not seem like a problem, but it effects me greatly like my memory or getting up for school, I just don’t have the will power anymore. Read the rest of this entry »
