I'm 17-years-old and extremely stressed. There's alot of problems in my family (to name just one: my dad is abusive) and I'm also stressed from school (getting good grades at a UC). So my mental health is basically blah and on top of that I have physical problems:

I'm on my cycle now and the cramps are BAD. Today I was escorted to the emergency room because my menstrual blood stopped flowing and I almost passed out. The pain was excruciating And now I'm extremely weak, especially my lower abdomen and my lower back is killing me (b/c of my period probably). Plus I still have cramps now.

And for years I have had recurring back aches because of my pillow/bed. I change my pillow once in a while but the back pains still come once in a while.


My mom is not talking to me so I can't go to her. I pretty much have to find solutions on my own. I think the best thing for me now is to get a back massage to relax and deal w/ the aches
