stomachache+headache+immense stress

r/

hey mama and dad.

just reaching out bc I’ve had a stomachache and headache that I’ve been able to unshake for the past couple days. it’s important to note that I’ve also been under immense stress since Wednesday dealing with really immature adults and people while DJ-ing a robotics competition. (volunteer) this has been made harder bc I’m still healing from working 2 36 hour shifts straight (with minimal sleep) doing freelance IT with absolute jerks.

i think it’s the stress that just really got to me. to the parents who said that I would be burnt out, ding ding ding you’re right. I’m somehow up to 8 jobs, barely taking care of myself, and missing the hell out of my parents who surprisingly, have not made a single peep in about a month.

oh and it feels like my Prozac isn’t working anymore, and i have not been diligent enough in scheduling psychiatric visits.

the plan is to head to CVS to pick up my ssri and sleep meds, then have toast, and just rest. just need a lot of hugs and just any encouragement and/or advice to offer.

-your internet kiddo who does way too much

i consumed mainly candy, but ate actual food that typically didn’t m

    Please remember that your Internet Parents are not medical providers and are not qualified to diagnose anything or recommend treatment. While we might be able to help you get through minor things (picking cold medicine, treating a minor burn, etc.), please seek help from a trained medical professional if you’re dealing with a serious problem.

    If you are not able to access medical care on your own, you may consider posting in a sub like /r/AskDocs or /r/DiagnoseMe where you can get help from verified medical folks.

    We also recommend the Cleveland Clinic website; you can search for symptoms and get information, or search the health library for things like “food poisoning” or “dandruff.”

    Posts seeking diagnoses or advice beyond basic first aid or self-care, or comments providing medical advice, may be locked or deleted at mods’ discretion.
