I went back to the doctor since then... and they are testing my blood again for the thyroid disorder.  It can't be healthy to not have a period..  They keep just thinking i might be pregnant.  I tested myself just to be sure and of course my mom found the box under my bed when she was going through my shit and freaked out.  Well anyway I'm not pregnant.  I just feel like shit every day.  Lately  have been having these strange dreams.. dreams where I have no hair.  I'm completely bald.  I know I am sort of a hypochondriac now but I seriously think something is wrong and I wish I knew what to do.  I wish the doctors knew too.  The internet.. I don't know if it helps at all.  I searched my symptoms and the only thing that matched was ovarian cancer.  Cancer!? sweet... I guess then I could get chemo and that would explain me being bald.  It's not like I haven't dreamt the future before.  I have so it freaks me out even more.  I remember a time I had a really stupid dream that made absolutely no sense.  I was just sitting across from some people I don't often talk to and laughing.  A year later that exact situation happened.  I was with those people every day in my art class and laughing.  Can I really see the future before it happens?  I don't know.. but I do know that I'm in a lot of pain and I just want it to stop.  I go back to the doctor on tuesday.  I doubt they find anything wrong with my thyroid.  I'll be there a few minutes and they will tell me they couldn't find anything wrong and then I'll have to wait a week for another appointment and sit here crying just waiting it out.  I'm supposed to move into my apartment on July 1st and start working full time.  I want to go forward with my life but it is certainly difficult with all of these obstacles in the way. Why is this happening to me?  I just want things to go back to the way they were but I don't know how to do it.  Someone, God, Anyone help me please.  I don't think I can take it anymore.  I just want it all to end.

Replies tearful Posted at 8:02 pm on June 22, 2009 i too went through what you did, gained about 30 pounds, i use to party a lot, life gets more stressful as i get older, i am talking to a therapist. i think you can talk to psychologists for free at your college, they have programs like that. ive gotten tested for all the stuff ur mentioning it all came out negative. i havent started my period since january but cuz i was on the depo shot. dont eat one meal a day tho thats not healthy, sometimes it can make you gain more weight cuz ur body is eating the fat or something like that i read, just eat small meals a coupole times a day. im getting tested for H pylori which can cause weight gain and me being bloated all the time. SimShrimp Posted at 5:52 pm on June 18, 2009 Wow, way to be helpful, BeautifulGirl15. You need to see a doctor.  End of story. Not having your period for that long is not healthy.  Weight gain that rapid is not healthy.  I'm not saying you have cancer, but you have something.  For your own safety, get checked out. grinzbie Posted at 5:51 pm on June 18, 2009 Well sometimes pregnancy tests can read a false negative... but I think with all the bloos tests that you would know by now. All I can say is to try and trust the doctors. I know from experience how much diets and eating habbits can change..  Idid gain about 20 pounds in freshman year, I was active in walking to class and I ate well... but I think that there are a lot of other factors that come into play. I know that my depression was a small factor in my weight gain, as was my flunctiation of weight because of my anxiety.. I would consider asking =ur doc about what diets to take and also what kind of psychological factors you might be going through. You have a lot to look forward too I just hope that this isnt enough for you to loose sight of what you want to do! BeautifulGirl15 Posted at 5:46 pm on June 18, 2009 that's too fucking long!
