• I just don’t know what to do.
  

  You should read a book called “The chemistry of joy,” by Henry Emmons. He is a Western medical doctor who also has some Eastern training. It talks about how chemical imbalances in the body can affect your emotions, sleeping patterns, how you deal with others, etc. The chemical imbalances can be caused by eating processed foods, sugar, etc, and also by your environment (not enough sun or fresh air). So he offers ways to change this, and he describes specifically what may be happening in your body if you always feel sleepy.

  Hi Hilary,
  It is definitely NOT your fault if your parents are having problems. Know that your mom is hurting too, and she is trying to find reasons why things are falling apart. With things so emotional, she is saying things without thinking through them. I agree with molotok; find a trustworthy adult that you can talk to during this hard time.

  thanks, everyone, you are wonderful. what a great site this is.
  
  Usually I find it easy to be happy, and I am the one who reminds others that “maybe it was just not to be,” or “be good to yourself,” and etc. I had read this book by Deepak Chopra who wrote how everything–every single little thing–had meaning if you just searched for it. And that there was this greater plan. . . And how if you had the right intentions, the things you wanted to happen would come into being…
  
  Then I find myself disappointed after believing so hard in something when it doesn’t work out.

• Health Issues, Yay!
  

  You definitely should see a doctor, who might put you on some drugs to regulate your hormone levels. But know that nutrition, activity level and your environment can be significant factors in irregular periods. If you are going that long without a period, chances are your bone density could also be low. You might also benefit from seeing a holistic health practitioner, such as a naturopath, who could help you with dietary and lifestyle changes.
