I really do need to have any help from anybody willing to answer, anything will do.

A few years ago, i left my old school to go onto Secondary school. Now, at my old school, i had lots of friends and i was really, really happy and nothing was wrong. But when i changed schools, my social life just...collapsed. I've just been finding myself on my own and I guess it was from that point onwards that i began to talk to myself, creating realties in my head and situations and i would act them out (literally), speaking to people who weren't there and i would respond when they replied or asked or even spoke. I'd only recently began to notice this and it's scared me, i mean really. I don't know how to stop and try and erase this 'world' which has formed in my head. It only happened when i am alone.

What's even worse is that i've forgotten how to socilise with my peers and I've wanted to sit with them at luch time and dinner (I board at school), but i can't.

So basically, my question is: how can i get my life back together and have the social life i used to have? (link)
Sometimes, one will go through the actions of doing something, while not really doing it. Or, watch themselves in a movie. This sounds similar.

Recently, I took an online phsycological screening test, and this appeared as part of the result, diagnosed as a "dissasocative disorder", called depersonalization. It doesn't mean that you have it, but I'd reccommend talking to someone.

This could also be a coping mechanism that the interactive part of your brain is using to create friends for you that maybe, even if it isn't your fault, you haven't made on your own.

I'd reccomend looking for friendly people, and the headphone idea is a good one, too.

Everyone has a little social anxiety, so just, kind of, put yourself out there, and take a risk as if you have nothing to lose.

Pray, too.

God bless,
-BB
