My name is Teza.. short for Tereza. I was born in Croatia and I speak more than one language. I'm 22 years old & I completed 2 college degrees in 3 years. My a bachelors is in Business Administration concentration in Human Resources and my Masters degree is also in HR.
I started this advice column about 9years ago and I was so young but it was something that I always loved to do. I am trying to get back to answering questions, at least a few per day. With that said, if you have questions about school, friends, make up, etc., feel free to ask.
Much love, Teza

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?
Moving to a different school gave you an excuse to let yourself go. From personal expirience, I kind of know what you're going through. I had to swich schools a lot when I was younger and it was tough but you can't let that bring you down. You need to be yourself again and don't worry so much. Be outgoing, have fun. Life is WAY too short. When you're at school, go up to some people that you might go or not and just talk to them. Get to know one another and get your life back on track. Start doing the things that made you happy. Just because you don't have your old school and old friends does not mean that things won't get better for you. Trust me, they will. You have to be willing to help yourself and start to change. Don't be so down anymore, it's not worth it. As for the talking to yourself, try to keep busy. Listen to an iPod or something but I don't think it's that big of a deal. I hope everything works out for you.
(Rating: 5) Thank you so much, that really made me feel better. I certainly will do what you advised.
