This post left anonymously

I think im a work addict.

but im only 14!

i did intense gymnastics training since i was 5, and im talking 4 to 5 hour practices, NINE HOURS A DAY IN THE SUMMER. no free time at all…i quit when i was 11.

two weeks after that i started intense dancing. 4 hour practices.
i just recently quit that, due to all my homework stuff

when i dont have homework and can just relax, my body doesnt like it!
i get nausea, cold sweat, my head somewhat hurts, i keep taking in deep breaths and yawning…making me dizzy and very lightheaded, and its like everything around me is zoned out.

but when i do work…it goes away. how can i change this?! im only 14 and im suffering from something i dunno of! I cant be work addict!

I think you’re just an overachiever and need to take a break sometimes. Relax doing something you enjoy!

If you don’t have a cat, get one. Observe how the cat has periods of absolutely frenetic activity, but then sleeps for hours on end.

Cats teach us how to relax and enjoy life. It doesn’t have to be one long, continuous chase. You can take naps along the way–it’s perfectly all right!

Maybe you need to see a doctor — or make sure you make time to keep up physical exercise. It doesn’t even have to be that intense for the pure physical benefits, like most sports practices are only an hour (maybe two or three for some of them in high school.) And it can makes a huge difference to go from working out for hours a day to just … not. Still it might be worth going to the doctors, telling them everything and seeing what they say.
