I’m Irritable for No Reason, What’s Wrong With Me?

Published October 23, 2012

Question by Ms. Cosmetics (new account): I’m irritable for no reason, what’s wrong with me? I’m a 14-year-old girl and I’m extremely pessimistic. I have OCD due to New York City and feeling inadequate without it, because for some reason, my heart calls it ‘home’, even though in this lifetime I have never lived there and wasn’t born there either.

Question by ZombieMae: Should I get back on meds? If so, what would you suggest? Okay, so this is kind of a long story…if you mind, don’t read it, and I don’t want any “Get back on your meds, crazy woman” answers if you didn’t get all the details. ;) I’m ADD, and have PMDD and mild depression. I also experienced a fairly traumatic event as a young child, which I think resulted in a sort of social anxiety…where I was painfully shy all through childhood, and went on to develop eating disorders and alcohol abuse as a teen. Now, I feel a lot more normal…as I’ve finally been diagnosed, and I’ve been taking medication, exercising, making a point of hanging around the right people, ect. The only issue I’ve been having lately, is after trying many ADs, I found Zoloft to be the most “tolerable”. I took it for a few months, but the three things I really dislike about it are that 1. I can’t sleep…some ...
