No period? Please help!!!?!
Question: No period.? Please help!!!.?
I havent had my period since August! and Im not pregnant. Ive smoked weed and taken pain pills and did coke once- I do eat but Im a very light eatter and I dont get totally proper sleep. I do work 40 hours a week at a firm and am making a transition into taking over a co. which is sorta nerve- wrecking but more so exciting.. but i do often worry about if im doing a good enough job and havent had as much energy as I like to perform up to par. i am always busy and dont get a chance to go out and meet friends (which is sad for me) and the ones i have we get into some lively heated- discussions. i have a lot going for me but i dont put in enough effort as i should.. i had a really baaad childhood w a single parent mom who hated me- so at 23 im still just always stressed torn b/t trying to do the best and move on beyond that emotional truama, fending for myself trying to do what's right. it depresses me that no one in my families close and they are all mentally and emotionally sick.. so im never around them. my dad's no better. i live alone in a city w no family. i dont feel stressed (bc i feel like i have all my life). ive smoked pot since 19 but not nearly as much now. i would say once a week. i do drink alot. i did coke in august before that i did it one other time in nov of 06. also i just tried pain pills this past month and have probably done 10 in the course of this prior mo and a half... besides just judging me pls give me some insight into my problem. im lostHealth Question & Answer

because of your work schedule and lack of sleep i think that maybe your body is stressed. a lot of times when your body is under pressure like that it'll conserve it's energy and won't go through periods because it's a waste of that energy your body is trying to conserve.
[for example - olympic athletes and anorexic/bulimic women commonly won't get their periods because of their restricted diet and all the stress they put their body under.]
it may be a good idea to go and talk to a doctor just in case.
but i wouldn't worry too much.Health Question & Answer

I definitely will not judge you, since I am getting ready to start the police academy in January, and the reason why I want to be a police officer is to try and help people like you.
I would definitely say it is stress even though you do not feel like you are stressed. Stress and anxiety can do so many whacky things to your body, and make you feel so many things that you thought could not even exist. My advice to you is to just get help immediately. There are so many great therapists and programs that can help you. It doesnt sound like you are addicted to drugs, but you could be heading that way for sure, and you do not want that. I dont need to preach to you where drugs can lead you, because you are 23 and smart enough to know.
But, like I said..get help. Lots of great professionals out there who would love to help and will help you. Good luck!Health Question & Answer

I dotn think the coke/pain pills/drink/pot would stop your periods. Losing a lot of weight, emotional stress (which you may not even be aware of) can do this. Dont sacre yourself by using google or even sites like this one to self diagnose - far too many people like to dish out horror stories which freak you out.
So, you must go and visit a doctor. This is undoubtedly something simple and not serious, so please dont worry - but it is important to get it checked out. Make an appointment first thing Monday. No excuses!
As for the other parts of your life, try to make one small change each week - whether thats phoning someone in your family, confiding in a friend about work stresses, treating yourself to a weekend day where you just chill out and spend time outdoors in nature if you can. Try and catch yourself if you find yourself thinking negatively about stuff, and be easy on yourself too. Its a tough time of life at your age, but all things pass, and get better if you have patience and try to be your own friend (god that sounds so corny im sorry!) Its from the heart though... I relate to how you feel.. :)Health Question & Answer
