Tired...

[Aidoon123]

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted here in a long time. Anyway, I have noticed that in the last few months, my overall energy has dropped considerably, I just get this overwhelming feeling of being tired and I get stressed very easily and I snap at people quite often now. I am in an exam year in school, so I guess that is a bit stressful. but I just have an overall tired feeling no matter how much I rest/sleep/chill out. Is this simply down to hormones?

I wouldn't know, as I'm only 13 and my hormonal hurricane fills me with energy so much I've gone 3 days without sleep and still feel fine afterwards. Its really irritating, though.

i think it is, i have gone through stages of that some last a week or 2 some last a few months. When i am in those stages it seems the smallest stupidest things can just set me off.

[Aidoon123]

Yeah, I seriously just snap at anything that anyone does. I know I'm being a bitch, but I can't help it...

[the9FOOTBAL7one]

yeah man, i feel you i am the same way sometimes like to the point its almost cost me a few friends. Best thing i can say is if you snap on someone and then realize you were wrong just be honest with them and let them know whats going on, if they are around our age they will most likely understand, especially if this is a product or side effect of puberty just like i said make sure you do your best to patch up any issues it may cause with friends

Thanks for the advice, it's made me feel much better and less paranoid :)

Yeah I think its the hormones. Im 15 and since like 3 months ago ive been having wild mood swings. Like for a week or a couple days I would be happy and cheerful and normal like I always used to be. but more often now I get annoyed very easy and rather would be alone and be a hater about the world. During those times its hard fir me to be around people but I guess somehow you and they have to deal. I don't really have a solution to help you but I can tell you its pretty normal breh. I mean unless you and I are the only weird ones. ( which I doubt.

Yeah,you are having mood swings.I just started getting them.Everybody tells me all I am doing is complaining and snapping at people.I missed a couple days of school,so I got overwhelmed with lots of tests and homework to take and finish.Its our hormones doing this to us.

I suggest that you just go to sleep earlier. However it very well could be hormones.

You seen a doctor about this?

It could just be hormones but it could be other things like anaemia, diabetes, thyroid problems. If you're in an exam year it could be depression. It could also be that you don't get enough sleep.

If you go to a doctor i would assume you would have a history taken along with blood for a blood count, kidney and thyroid function tests.

If you had other symptoms such as extreme unquenchable thirst, or running to the toilet quite alot (which may be written off as UTI) you could have diabetes.

Either way it seems the better choice would be to get it checked out. It could be an easily fixed problem and you would be kicking yourself if you later found out it could have been fixed before it impacted on your exams
