Hello, my name is Bernadette. I am 17 and I was just diagnosed with FM about 6 weeks ago. I am a senior in high school and will be graduating in 6 weeks.
I am currently having a lot of problems focusing on things. I spend way too much time watching a TV show that I am currently obsessed with and not enough time working on my school work. My best friend is constantly telling me that I should be working on homework, but I find when I sit down and try to work on it, I can't focus at all. He says I just need the motivation to do it. My fear of failing the year should be motivation enough, but it just doesn't seem to work. I don't know why I can't focus, although I do know it is symptom of FM. Does anyone have any suggestions on a way to focus?
I am also dealing with depression and anxiety. I don't know how to stop worrying about stuff. My best friend also says that I need to stop worrying about things that are so pointless. I either don't really think they are pointless, or I can't stop worrying. I get depressed really easily. He says I am incredibly pessimistic, which I probably really am, but I just can't seem to think about things positively.
I am really not happy most of the time. I don't know what to do anymore.
Also soon I will be going to college. Does anyone have any ideas of what I should study? I really wanted to go to cosmetology school and be a hairdresser, but now I know I'm probably never going to be able to do that. Any ideas?
Thanks.
