PostHeaderIcon Should I go see a doctor?

premenstrual depression

I’ve been experiencing alot of different pains, recently.. first there was the constant sick feeling in my stomach after I ate, and that’s been going on for a few weeks now, although it just seems to get worse. I’m supposed to get my period in a few days, but today I had these sudden excruciating pains in what felt like my left ovary, and they literally left me doubled over in pain, along with the sick feeling in my stomach. I could barely walk to my classes, and I was so frustrated and sick of the pains and stomach aches, I started crying right there in class, even though I knew it was mostly hormones. I know some girls have cramps before they start, but I’ve never heard of any being so persistent and severe. The cramps died down a bit after I took a few painkillers. The sickness in my stomach lasted pretty much throughout the whole day, but I was still hungry at lunch, so I had a sandwich and a bottle of water, so the sickness turned into a dull pain. I then decided not to go home and make a big deal out of it, so I finished up the last two hours of school.
Later on I noticed something different, something that felt like a potential pain in the downstairs region, so I went pee, and towards the end of it [like when my bladder contracts, so to speak] there was this horrible, droning pain in my bladder, that lasted for about 10 seconds, then died down again. It used to hurt when I walked, but now it only hurts when I stretched it somehow, like spreading my legs too far or putting my arms over my head.
My first thought was a possible bladder infection, but that would mean I would have to go pee really frequently, which I don’t seem to do, and there was no stinging or anything like that, just pain AFTER I pee. No blood in it or anything, it looked perfectly fine :/ any ideas?
For the cramp thing, I looked it up and it turns out there’s a premenstrual disorder called PMDD, which describes exactly what I seem to be having. Along with the depression, it would make alot of sense.
As for the stomach thing? I’m not a health freak, and i’m not obese either, just flabby. I havn’t been changing my diet in any way, the sick feeling just started a couple weeks ago.
As for the bladder pains, it’s only been happening today, whenever I pee, but my friends think it sounds pretty serious, but if I tell my mom, she’s going to make me see a doctor. D:
Maybe it’s for the best? >.<
I don’t know what’s happening to me. Please help.
note:
-I’m 15
-I’ll admit I take in a bit too much caffeine, sugar, and carbs.
-Occasional smoker.

PostHeaderIcon Is anyone on disability because of either depression/anxiety or fibromyalgia?

depression disability

I have all of these pretty severely….Sometimes so severe I cannot work. With the Fibromyalgia, my pain keeps me from working for days. And then with the depression it can be more crippling emotionally than the fibromyalgia & can keep me from working for days at a time. I used to be able to do things that now I am unable to do. I was just wondering if either of these are qualifiers for disability, even short term.
