I am 22 years old and I swear I have the worst medical genes ever.

Since I was younger I have had asthma but it only affected sports.
Then I got sick when I was 18 and had gastroporisis and was nauseas for almost a year it seemed like.

Now that I am 22 years old these are all the problems I am having and I am feeling they might be connected since no one knows whats up yet.

1) Sleeping- I can sleep any amount of hours and I am still always tired, I yawn all the time and want to sleep til 3 pm, but I cant go to bed early unless I am very very tired. other wise its normally 12-1 am before I can go to sleep.
2) Stomach- I am used to having stomach problems since being sick before but now I feel like i look bloated all the time and it makes me look pregnant, I get gas all the time, I have acid reflux, I have what seems to be IBS??
3)Breathing- My asthma was fine before and only if I ran or swam i got winded, but now I can get out of breath from talking, walking up stairs, or just laying down doing nothing.
4)motivation- I have none! I am so lazy I never even feel like cooking anymore.
5)Weight- I have always been skinny but since I got sick when i was 18 I have gone from 125 to 160!!! And my mom who is much fatter than I am weights the same as me… Where is all this weight??

The only pill I take daily is 150mg of Luvox CR. Its for my anxiety.

How to sleep better any suggestions?

I’m a 13 year old boy who can sleep properly. I’m always checking facebook, playing xbox and watching tv. I’m a couch potato! I rarely eat. I’m skinny but not that skinny! I eat bananas before I go to bed but it doesn’t work, I’ll try warm milk later. Plus my room is mildly warm. I like to be cold and my mom won’t let me put the Ac up! So I’m awake until 6 am! I haven’t slept for 2 days now! HELP!

I don’t want to take medicine for it, but it is really taking a toll on me. I’m always so tired, I am always stressed out and irritable. I get so bored, my mom is always screaming at me for being up, and it is going to start affecting my grade in trig.
Nothing will seem to get me to sleep when I am supposed to be sleeping.

Insomnia Help?

okay so my mom’s has been havinf insomnia for months now and she doesnt know what to do. Shes tried so many things but nothing seems to work. The doctor gave her some pills, but she doesn’t really drink them because she knows they are not good for you. even the doctor doesn’t even recommend her to drink pills, but he gave it to her anyway. there’s time she can’t sleep until 4 or 5 in the morning. The weird thing is that shes not even sleepy or tired during the day or night even if she only got like 3 hours of sleep or so. Does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone suffered from insomnia and overcome it? your advice will be greatly appreaciated!!!

I’m having a really hard time getting to sleep and it’s affecting my grades and energy level (duh!)
I want to ask my mom to pick something up at the store, a sleep aid maybe, but I don’t know what.

Also, if you have any techniques to induce quick sleep, that would be helpful, as well.

Thanks in advance

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.

BipolaR………….?

im wondering what exactly bipolar is and what it does to you? i read some things on the enternet, but i cant really get it though my head very well and i want to know from peoples opinion as well.

i also think that i might be bipolar, or just depressed
no, no one really says anything. except for my brother, hes always saying that im depressed or something. and that i never smile unless he says something about someone that i like, which is true. usually i never smile unless that person comes up in the conversation
well sometimes i get REALLY mad, but then when something funny happens or something i start to laugh so hard. when that happened, my mom looked at me like something weird happened

What should I do about my possible insomnia?

I think I might have insomnia. I’m a 14 year old girl. I’m afraid to tell my mom about it because she already thinks I’m doctor crazy. I just finished therapy a few months ago and I don’t want to go back. What should I do?

ever since i can remember ive always preferred sleeping on hard surfaces rather than a bed, i slept on the floor last night and i slept better and feel better today.. maybe im an alien? when i was young i asked my mom if i could sleep in the kitchen Lol i still remember cause i really wanted to sleep on the table or the linoleum floor
i have a new expensive mattress, has nothing to do with my bed.. id rather sleep on a rock hard surface for some reason
