I don't sleep for crap, every night for almost a year now. I'm pretty sure it's because of stress. So, are there any good *safe* over-the-counter stress pills? What about sleeping pills? I've tried Sleep MD... It helps a little bit sometimes, but I do not ...

I get stress and migraine headaches so severe I've been hospitalized due to pounding pain, sensitivity to light and nauseousness. The headaches tend to move around my head, or is isolated to one part of my head. Pain varies from pounding, dull constant, or a throbbing pain. I always see aura's, squiggles, ...

I’m 15 years old (only for about two weeks) and I’m the youngest in my class and youngest in my school band (the level you are at). I’m a year or two above the year I should be in, because I should be in S2/3 but I’m in S4. This means I’ve been forced to mature a little bit earlier than someone my age and that I’m in pretty advanced classes for my age. Not only am I in a higher year, but my class is Band 1 (the highest band) and I’m part of three accelerated classes as it is. I’m doing Higher Mathematics, Int 2 English and Int 2 French. The only thing wrong with me is that last night (21/02/09) I woke up crying. Not just tears, but sobs and hitching breath and the obligatory sniffling that comes with it. I couldn’t calm myself down, and my mother ended up hearing me even though I tried to be quiet and calm myself. Eventually we sat down and talked about what was wrong and it turned out to be my French class. I can’t do French. It doesn’t work for me, and the only reason I got a “1″ in my accelerated Standard Grade class was because I revised for 2 hours a day for it! With the rest of my Standard Grade classes’ exams going on this year, and the stress of having the teacher who does not listen to problems when you present them, I can’t spend two hours a day revising for a class I ****! I actually went into hospital before the christmas holidays last year. Our jotters were handed in the week before, and handed back when I was off. So of course, when I returned after the holidays I asked for my jotter back. I got shouted at for asking for my own work back. The next time I asked, I got ignored, and the time after that I was told to stop asking and just work in my vocabulary book. I asked again today and she finally looked around her mess of a classroom (seriously, it’s a tip) and then told me my jotter must be at home then gave me a replacement jotter. I actually went to my Guidance teacher at the beginning of the year, before our timetables were confirmed, and told her that I would not manage to do the accelerated class again this year, and that I would either have to be pulled out, or perhaps put BACK into a Standard Grade class. Safe to say I was told that I “would manage” and that if I was going to struggle that much then I would have to “cope”. My parents are obviously annoyed that I was ignored and that my teacher had lost my work (which had, by the way, my entire writing project which I slaved over before the holiday which has to be re-written and LEARNED for the Monday after next). Parents Evening will not be a nice thing for my French teacher. Anyway, now that you know the problem, I need a little advice on how to cope with the class and the stress and directed towards whether my sobbing spat last night was an minor emotional breakdown or just my brain’s way of telling my body that I needed a stress-reliever and to get the attention of my parents so that I could tell them my problem. Thanks in advance. Hey, thanks for the answer. My parents DID tell my Guidance teacher that they wanted me to be switched out of the class. We were.. I suppose tricked is the word, into the class. We were told that we were doing a STANDARD GRADE Course accelerated, and that was that. But of course, when we switched onto our fourth year timetables just before the holidays and found Int 2 French on there, most of the class were annoyed. We all complained and told our teacher that we were not told we would have to do another advanced class. My parents did try to pull me out, but in Scotland you HAVE to take a language until the end of fourth year. But what happens when the stress turns into an emotional melt down and that leads to depression? I’m stronger than most people and hardly ever cry, but when I do cry it kills me inside. How long can one person handle that?
