anxiety
Im a 32yr old diagnosed with bipolar 2 and generalized anxiety disorder, and ironically a registered nurse. When it comes to me or my kids i am at a loss. My oldest daughter is just started to display symptoms. Im not sure how much to tell here about my problems because i think she maybe projecting what she has read and heard. I was looking for any advice from "crazy" parents who have teenagers.
WhI am 48 yr old female. When I was about 27, my doctor diagnosed me with anxiety disorder and fibromyalgia. I became pregnant soon after then felt better for quite a long time. The past 3/4 yrs. I have been feeling very tired. really lack energy and have painful symptoms that chnge from week to week. One day I have terrible shoulder pain. another stomach pains that travel from different parts of my abdomen. One month terrible lower back pain, other days stabbing pains in my legs and arms.
I suspect the health issues you have stated are all the result of untreated anxiety. If anxiety is the issue, I assure you that your daughter will not outgrow it nor will it go away. Untreated anxiety can ruin a life. By the way, anxiety is highly treatable and a very common mental health issue.
The first thing you should do is contact your family physician and ask for a referral to a medical specialist with experience in anxiety disorders.
Most likely - and somewhere in their room are two towels or wash cloths that are in desperate need of being washed. Relieve some of their anxiety - and some of yours - by telling both of them that, if they are "spunking", you're not going to alert the newspapers and radio stations or have them arrested for doing something entirely normal for teenagers but it isn't healthy for them not to clean whatever it is they're using to wipe themselves off afterwards.

can a headgear help with chronic tmj disorder or a splint if i don't want to do tmj n jaw surgery ??
This is more than shy; after all, your son is now 14 years old. I suspect what you are seeing is "social anxiety". I might suggest you google the phrase "social anxiety in teenagers" or "social anxiety disorder" or similar words/phrases to see if the descriptions remind you of your son. You mentioned that your son only talks to one or two friends - is he able to speak to his teachers and other adults?
This is the symptom of a sleep disorder called Narcolepsy. This sleep disorder is characterized by excessive day time sleepiness, sleep paralysis, cataplexy where the person has episodes of loss of muscle function while awake, hypnogogic hallucinations and automatic behavior. You will need to consult your primary care physician, who may schedule you for a polysomnogram (sleep test) to rule out sleep disorders and initiate appropriate therapy.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
This usually has happened due to change in normal sleep-wake cycle. Disturbance of sleep cycle disorder can be due to stress, anxiety, depression. Even generalized disease or conditions can cause such symptoms; hence this needs to be ruled out.
Generalize conditions needed to be ruled out are anemia, thyroid disorder (hypothyroidism), blood disorder and dietary deficiencies.

I am only 16 years old, but I'm in love with my daughter already. & if anyone says I'm not going to support her, or be a good mom, etc.. You don't need to comment on this post.. I don't have any type of support other than people supporting me to get an abortion.. I cry myself to sleep all the time because of it... I don't talk to either one of my brothers due to the fact they both wanted me to give her up. & I said no.
My son was diagnosed at age eight with bipolar disorder w/ psychotic features. He is now seventeen and was recently diagnosed with schizoeffective disorder. His birth mother also suffers from schizoeffective disorder. In the last year I have noticed a disturbing difference in his actions. He has been telling friends, family members, and teachers all sorts of "lies". I don't know if it's right to call them lies though because I think to him they might be true...
Whether you have generalized anxiety or social anxiety or garden variety anxiety can only be diagnosed by a doctor.........and at the young age of 13, (even tho it's obvious you are mature for your age) your hormones are kicking into high gear and that can sometimes bring on anxiety.
I would urge you to talk to your parents about these feelings and I believe a talk with your doctor is in order. You do not have to feel this way.
Given the absence of a diagnosis of a cardiac or endocrine problem, yes, it does sound like anxiety.
