It seems like my energy is always decreasing. Am I sick? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

Currently, I am taking leave from school and have been since May last year to October this year. I always feel lonely at school, don't want to communicate with others, find it more difficult to study than before, can't concentrate, can't control myself, often can't hear the teacher or classmates calling me, feel tired communicating with others, as if my energy value has been decreasing all the time, don't want to be a class leader, also feel tired, as if I am more incapable than before. Since the second semester of the first year of junior high school, I always hear a group of people calling my name when I sleep at noon. The images in my dreams are like a roller coaster, eight images in ten minutes, sleeping is even more tiring than not sleeping. This situation even continues when I fall asleep at night, and I often need half an hour to fall asleep. Recently, I also often have stomachache, feel nauseous after eating, and sometimes have a headache for several days in a row.

Every break in class I had to go to the toilet, otherwise I felt like I had to go during class. I could go to the toilet up to 16 times a day. This has been going on for two years. When I was little, I always felt like there were worms in my mouth. It lasted for about a year or two.

These are some of the problems I had at school. At home, apart from sleeping and stomachache problems, I always feel anxious. I even write my homework while stabbing the paper with my pen a few times or throwing the pen away in a fit of anger. Am I really sick?

Dear Sir/Madam, After reading your description, I believe that the psychological barrier is no longer the primary issue. The current situation has had a significant impact on your daily life, and it is now time to address it in a constructive manner. Best regards, [Name]

Based on your description, I believe there are several reasons:

1. Adjustment disorder

From your description, it can be understood that the transition from elementary school to junior high school was relatively brief, and you have already encountered difficulties in adapting to unfamiliar classmates, an unfamiliar environment, unfamiliar teachers, unfamiliar subjects, and so on. It seems that you have not yet developed an effective adaptation strategy.

Nevertheless, this is a phase that everyone must navigate at some point in their lives.

Indeed, adapting to the environment is a form of learning. Students must develop skills beyond mere academic knowledge.

It is important to recognize that adapting to a new environment will inevitably have an impact. It would be beneficial to identify the specific challenges you are facing in your current environment.

2. Loss of balance

Your equilibrium has been disrupted. You may have high expectations of yourself or have consistently demonstrated excellent academic performance. However, the introduction of a new environment presents a challenge to your established patterns of behavior, leading to a disruption in your sense of stability. This can manifest as a reluctance to embrace your current environment and mode of operation, creating a perception of uncertainty about the future.

This is a common manifestation of stress. There is a concern that the exam results will not meet expectations, that others will be disappointed, and that failure is a possibility.

You are therefore choosing to escape, or to be more precise, your body is acting out an escape, which is similar to the process of becoming unwell.

To address this situation, there are two key steps to take:

This is a situation that cannot be altered by oneself.

It is preferable to embrace the situation and learn from it, rather than attempting to resist it.

4. Stress and Emotions

Your stress primarily stems from academic, professional, and familial obligations. These environments demand self-effort, yet the outcomes are not immediately apparent, contributing to significant stress.

From an emotional perspective, it is challenging to resolve and release a small amount of the accumulated negative emotions, which significantly impacts your sense of security.

This is the root cause of your discomfort.

Should you be interested, you may wish to consult books on emotions and stress, which introduce a number of techniques, including deep breathing and muscle relaxation.

5. Should you still be unable to find effective relief after making adjustments yourself, we advise that you seek the help of a professional doctor or counselor to relieve your problems.

Even if you approach them, you still need to draw on your own resources to support you and emerge from the situation.

I encourage you to persevere.

It seems like you're carrying a heavy burden. Reaching out for professional help is crucial. Therapists and doctors can provide the right tools and treatments to make you feel better. You don't have to go through this alone.

Your symptoms suggest that you might be dealing with some serious mental health issues, such as anxiety or depression. Seeking help from a mental health professional could be very beneficial. They can help you understand what you're going through and provide strategies to improve your wellbeing.

You're not alone in feeling this way, and it's okay to seek help. A healthcare provider can assess your situation and recommend appropriate treatment options. Remember, taking care of your mental health is just as important as your physical health.

It sounds like you're experiencing a complex mix of emotional and physical symptoms. It would be wise to consult a healthcare professional who can give you a proper diagnosis and tailor a treatment plan that fits your needs.
