I usually snore when I sleep on back. My dad has the same problem but he doesn’t care.

Teenager- Sleep Problems?

I am 15 and for pretty much the whole year, since February, I have been having sleep problems.

I have been stressed for a lot of reasons. My dad had an affair and left earlier in the year, I have been struggling to come out a gay to friends and family, I have been dealing with fights with @rsehole friends, I have had a lot of homework and exams to study for, I am in all of the top classes for every subject and need to maintain my grades, I have had football (which my mum won’t let me quit until next year), and I have had a lot of extra work for programs which I can’t quit because then I have to pay a 00 fee (the programs are sponsored, so if I quit I need to pay back the sponsorship money).

I have been having trouble sleeping because of all of the stress I am under. No matter when I go to bed, I will just lie there for ages. Usually I will only get a few hours sleep each night until I have to wake up (I love leeping in in mornings, but have trouble going to sleep at night). All day I feel tired and struggle to pay attention at school in some subjects (mostly maths, but some others as well).

Are there any ways I can sleep better, longer, or deal with all of the stress. I’m so glad a lot of this will be over next year, but I don’t want to deal with $hitty sleep for the rest of the year.

What are the symptoms of sleep apnea?

What does it mean to have sleep apnea? My dad has this and sleeps w/ a breathing machine.

I somehow got lucky and my dad’s friend is giving away his queen size sleep number bed for free! There’s nothing wrong with it, the guy and his wife just didn’t like it. Anyways, what kind of bed frame do I use? Any queen size frame?

BQ: If you have one or know someone who does, do they like it? We are going from a cheap full size mattress to this so I am not going to complain.

Using Sleeping Aids at 14 to not eat ?

I’m 14 and I don’t like to eat with my family because we live in the South and the food is really fattening. I only eat about 1,000 calories a day which is easy because I’m home alone with my 8 year old brother till about 5. Well when my parents come home I go straight to my room and the only way I can get out of eating is by sleeping. My dad has a lot of sleeping aids in the kitchen cabinet and I just want to know if I take them will it hurt me or will they be able to tell ?

I seem to be having trouble with controlling my thoughts a lot lately. I am happy and excited one moment then I become sad cause I down myself( but that prob has to do with my family always putting me down). I really don’t want to be put on meds for it but I am getting desperate cause I just want it to stop. I relaxed there for awhile and was able to Control my thought there for awhile but its back. Is there any way I can get over this without being put on meds? Could it have to do with the fact that I just can’t be me in my house. I mean it seems like i’m not perfect enough for my family. I mean I get put down a lot. My brothers call me fat or ugly a lot. I am 5’5 and 110lbs and I try to lose more weight just to make them happy. Sometimes I don’t dress the right way for them. Because I have always wanted a horse, its my dream and I am working hard to get one I am childish. I have to do my hair the right way. My dad and I don’t talk at all but I always hear him on the phone saying something to my mom that’s bad about me. I just don’t get it. I think they are making me crazy lol.
I also wated to add that I do stress out about small things. I just can’t let it go at all. I dwell over it a lot.

I was having a dream that me and my dad were fighting over the phone. Then right after I hung up on him He called me in real life to tell me how much he loved me and just wanted me to be happy. I instantly started to cry, does that have to do with my REM cycle being disturbed?

I want to kill myself… I want to cry…?




But I can’t do either…. I feel like my life has been a disaster. Please read this, please help me!

-I’m a 20 year old male
-I dropped out of school when I was 14 (got a GED when I was 17)
-I am not in school now, & I have no job..
-For the past 2 years I’ve lived with my mom & my autistic brother in a small 2 bedroom apt. in the city
-I sleep on the couch in the livingroom
-I have practically no personal items; very few clothes
-I have a poor relationship with both my mother & brother; we barely talk, sometimes we go days w/o saying anything to eachother & my mom mostly just yells at me for not doing anything with my life. She’s been unemployed for a while now & really needs me to get a job… & I honestly wish I could! But I can barely take care of my extremely basic needs right now…
-I have ZERO friends; I haven’t had any real friends since I was 13
-I have gone months without saying more than 10 words a day
-I have social anxiety when talking to any stranger
-I have not had any meaningful emotional relationships since I had friends
-I have spent the last 6 years alone, inside, pretty much just pacing back & forth thinking.
-I worked for my dad when I dropped out of school, but he was a sociopath & never paid me. He owes me over 18K. I avoided contact with my mom during this period; she had kicked me out of her house when she found out I dropped out of school. Now I avoid all contact with my dad
-I have frequently reccurring major depressive episodes.
-Insomnia & hyposonmia
-Fluctuating eating patterns
-Fluctuating exercise patterns
-I feel like I am very immature and have boyish-like characteristics.. Unattractive I think, anyway
-I consider myself somewhat intelligent & bright,DEFINITELYy much still ignorant & uneducated
-I have poor communication skills (due to lack of education & NO ONE TO PRACTICE WITH)
-Unkempt self-appearance (not too bad, but I DEFFINITELY neglect myself)
-Bad, crooked teeth
-Very pale skin with acne
-Probably about 20 lbs overweight (or too fat)
-Lack self-discipline
-Trying to read more books lately to increase my knowledge & expand my vocabulary
-My favorite thing to do… is go to therapy. Sad..

I feel my parents have done a really poor job of taking care of me, though I think I might be responsible for part of this because I never "cried for the help I needed" I felt guilty whenever I asked for anything & thought that my parents would just know the best way to take care of me (… very stupid of me..). So now I guess I have severe self neglect problems, maladaptive avoidant behaviors, constantly contemplate suicide…, & don’t know how to put my life back together… except go to therapy for a long time & sort this out…
The only diagnosis I have received is Neurotic Depression; my therapist doesn’t really "do diagnosis".

I really need to get my life on track… I’m so lost & confused & lonely…. I really wish I could cry right now…

I keep thinking I should kill myself because of how far off course my life is & how much I am constanly stressed out, never having any moments of relief… In my head I am always trying to decide between living & trying my hardest to get my life on track & make something of myself & find happiness or giving up & commiting suicide because I think trying my hardest won’t be good enough & I’ll end up exhausted, miserable, & unhappy till I die… I’m really not sure I should even bother with this life anymore.. My future seems so bleak and futile… & needlessly painful. I should just put myself out of my misery….

I really just need someone to listen to me and offer some help right now.. One hour a week with my therapist seems to only be a TEASE! to me….

I want to get back to having friends & girlfriends (or one I mean), I want to get into school & get educated, I want to have a decent career…

Any advice is appreciated. SORRY THIS WAS SO LONG & INARTICULATELY WRITTEN.
*******!!!!! ****!!!!! I just want some advice!!! There is no one I can talk to…. I’m just that much of a loser… Tell me who I could talk to!!!! My therapist doesn’t have the time, she’s implied to me that I ask for enough attention already…

I’ve had a few really weird dreams lately…and while the dreams themselves are always different, the theme is always the same: my dad leaving.

The first three or four had to do with him dying, and then last night I had a dream that he was walking out on my family and said that we would never see him again.

What’s up with this?

Can antihistamines stop the itch of allergies?




My dad has allergies all over his body and he’s had them for a few days now. The itch is driving him crazy and I feel sorry just by looking at him getting aggravated all the time. Can antihistamines stop the itch? It’s allergies and heat rashes in one. His skin is very red all over..

I don’t know what that is, my dad wants to know. Thanks ahead of time.
