Get checked: See your doc to make sure there is nothing physically wrong, like thyroid hormone problems. Are you sad, stressed, anxious? Using any recr. drugs or alcohol? Be open with your doc on your symptoms. The sooner you get seen, the sooner this can be sorted out and you can get on the path to feeling better.
