Questions, need answeres!?!

Hello this is my first time posting and im happy to find that even if im not registered i can still post, which is smart of use to do, I am 15 Im of mediteranian descendent and i was diagnosed with Thalassemia Minor about 3 or 4 years ago. As long as i can remember i have been quite the anxious child, At the moment im holding myself together, I get quite depressed at times and i dont wanna talk to anyone cause i dont want to worry my parents, I'd like you all to take me serious as im not an immature kid, Anyways to business.

I was wondering if there was a link with Thalassemia and Mood Disorders (Aggression, Depression, Anxiety Attacks Mainly), and if so does anyone know how? I honestly have nothing to be depressed about apart from my future career which i still need to choose as i am in year 10, Im always worried about everything honestly. I am quite skinny but i eat a fair amount of food, My feet are always cold but i am told to be the warmest person in my family, my mum cannot sleep without a hot water bottle to warm her feet in winter as she also has Thallassemia Minor, I have a temper as alot of things seem to stress me out quite easily, but never angry for no reason. I have trouble filling my lungs with oxygen as i need to breathe deep, im not the most active person as i get really tierd even just walking around a shopping mall when i was young would exhaust me as i have just remembered, My heart does race for no reason like when im stretching and i get heart palputations often. Also when i stand up just normally some times my eyes seem to go black and i start feeling weird and it takes a while for it to settle back to normal, so to speed that up i throw my head forwards and down and my sight seems to come back, my siblings also get this but i dunno if they have thalassemia.

So just is theyre any relationship with all this and Thallassemia, and especially aggression and so on, i have found several articles of tests in Iran but nothing helped.

I am looking forward to your answeres, and if i remember anything else i have left out, i will post it.

P.S. A special thank you to "Marientina" for all her help with everyone.

Sounds to me like you're suffering the effect of being an everday TEENAGER.

....but hmm... yeah any Thalassemia will take a toll on a person mentally and physcially.

Lol yes well i knew that "TEENAGER" thing would come up eventually, but im asking whether or not it has a link to Thalassemia, i have read many articles linking the two but nothing to good, and what about everything else the cold feet n stuff??

And one other question, Does Thalassemia minor affect protein?

Well hemoglobin turn out to be protein so in this case i am 80% sure on the fact that Thalassemia can could possible leed to low serotonin levels which can lead to depression, anti depressents boost serotonin.

Just food for thought.

ANYONE ANY ANSWERES!!! Does Thalassemia have a link to Aggression and Mood Disorders, and dont treat me like a kid if i was 21 id feel the same i always have since i was in year 3 so it isnt hormones i know myself ive always been like this?!@#! Please

Could be. I've read lots of accounts from people saying they were anxious. Others are not. So who knows, there's basically no research done so everything is just guesswork. People are ascribing and wondering about hundreds of symptoms and we just can't know.

I get unusually pale skin in my face for being a mediterranean, which translates to some weird yellow colour. And it's always when I feel tired and I can feel that my iron levels are low. Nobody else in my family seems to suffer from it, they have healthy looking skin so I won't ever know.

So basically what I'm saying is, we all suffer in some way from not knowing and the best you can do is not to give up and say "**** it, it's the disease, I can't change it". Instead try forcing yourself to an active lifestyle. You'll have more energy. About anxiousness, you can probably get past that by just becoming more social. It could be that thalassemia affects your psyche but the good thing about your brain is that you have 100% control over it. If you act confident you are basically forcing your brain to pump out the chemicals that make you feel confident for real.
