ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

I can't stop crying

 

 

Dear Help!

You’d feel dorky talking to a counselor? You’re feeling miserable now! Remember that counselors have heard it all. People in helping professions would never laugh or make fun of you. They want to help. So stop by the counselor’s office and open up. You’ll be glad you did. You might figure out what’s causing your crying spells, or that they’re simply hormonal.

My ex won't leave me alone! We used 2 b close friends, but then we dated and it ruined our friendship. He's a jerk and I want 2 move on but he keeps texting me. I ignored him 4 3 weeks but he didn't stop. And he has a new GF! He acts like everything is fine and then went off on me when I still wouldn't talk 2 him. I just want 2 b over him but he's making it so hard!
And also my parents r driving me crazy! They fight constantly and I get dragged into it. They've done this my whole life. They talk bad about each other 2 me and it makes me feel like crying. I can't even trust them. I try talking 2 my friends but they don't know how 2 help or they just don't care. I have 1 friend im super close 2 but she has this perfect life and she doesn't understand my probs. And I used 2 b nearly anorexic when I was little and it went away but now it's coming back. I can't tell my parents. Plz help!




Hey girl,

You need to be completely honest with your ex. Go up to him in person and tell him the texting and chatting needs to stop now - tell him you're broken up for a reason and you want to move on, so he needs to let it go. Be firm! He's basically harassing you through texts and trying to get your attention (and it doesn't seem like anything, including a new GF, will stop it), so you gotta tell him you're not interested.




As for your parents, you need to talk to them too. In a mature and calm way, ask them to please stop bad-mouthing the other in front of you. Tell them you're not picking sides because you love them both and you don't want to be involved in THEIR problems. It's toxic to constantly be around all that negativity, so ask them confidently not to bring you into their problems. Tell them you love them and you support them both always, but that you can't be involved because you're just a kid - you can't fix these things for them, so they need to stop sharing it with you <3 As long as you're honest about how you're feeling and mature about the convo, they'll listen.

Mod Mod!!! My palms are always sweaty!!! Why is this??? How can I stop this???

Hey girl,

You might be having circulation issues, so make sure you're dressing for the weather and staying hydrated by drinking lots of water! If it's a persistent thing, though, you might want to see a doc and have her tell you what's up!

Today my mom left for a week. I have been dreading this day for a while. The week after she gets home, I am going to see my friends in Salt Lake City. And i don't really like it at my dads house. So i wont be seeing her much. I love my mom so much and i feel like a dork but I have been crying all morning. I have been like freaking out. I have been calling her a lot. But i stopped because she needs her space. It is really getting to me. I don't know what to do.

Hey girl,

It's sweet that you miss your mom, but the good news is that she'll be back before you know it! Try spending more time with friends or doing something fun, like going out to eat or watching a movie, with your dad to distract yourself. And it's okay to call her at least to say goodnight while she's gone to show you care!

My brother is in first grade and he just had his yearly checkup and it was not good. When it was eye test he could only read the letter E. He loves playing computer, and of course, any kind of electronic would be harmful to his eyes. So when my parents didn't let him go on the computer, he started crying. I really felt bad for him and I wanted to know if there was any possibility that his eyesight could improve without having to get contacts.

Hey girl,

Unfortunately, the only way to get real help for eyesight is to talk to an eye doctor, so support him next time he goes to a checkup and encourage your parents to get his eyes tested again if it seems like they're getting worse. It's tempting to want him to be able to play on the computer, but you have to respect the doctor's orders for him to get better!

I do this sometimes still. I think i do it when i am stressed and dont admit it because when you cry your tears release a chemical that soothes stress.  Meghan D.
