I think I might need to see a psychologist... or maybe a psychiatrist. I'm not sure what the difference is. But i'll tell you why I feel like this and maybe you can give me a second opinion so I know if i should approach my parents about this:

I think I have a major problem with paranoia.

When I go to my locker at school, i'll get my books out and lock it back, but sometimes i have to go check it three or four times to make sure it's locked even though I know it is.

Everytime i read about a disease or it is talked about, i get scared to death that i have it. I honestly freak out, i research it and even go as far as trying to get tested for it, and it could be anything from brain cancer to hep c. For no reason, i get paranoid that i have it.

I'm constantly scared, for every little reason. And i get paranoid about every little thing.

I think it's just a bad habit and because you worry so much about it you get a abnormal panic attack.If you have an attack like that try listening to calming music and breathing calmly that usually helps.

If you really think you have a disease you should look for other symptoms and get tested on the diseases that match but don't go to the psychiatrist because they'll just give you medication and make reports on you and which will give trouble for the rest of your life though a psychologist just helps.

I hope this will help you!!
I think that everything will turn out right.


This might sound odd, but like 2 months ago I smoked marijuana for like the 3rd time and I think it was laced because I tripped out and hallucinated and thought I was dying. Then almost a month later I had a reoccuring flashback that I was dying and it was the same feeling. I literally felt out of my body and that I was dying and leaving my body both times. Ever since then I've had continuous out of body experiences where I just receive weird feelings and they are almost impossible to explain. They say it's from a panic disorder possibly, but it's nothing like that, it's just so unexplainable. Now, all I can think about is death and afterlife. It's a terrible feeling when it's happening because I'm horrified. It's even awoken me multiple times and I'm terrified but I don't know why. I'm now on Lexapro to try to stop it, so I don't know if it didn't just kick in yet or what.... but I need these to stop. I'm glad I got to experience what one felt like but I really can't handle these anymore! And I want to know if anyone knows what I'm talking about! (link)
I've never had it myself but I have heard of it.It kinda sounds like one of those near death experiences where the experience just doesn't go away. To me it sounds you've reliving it This is going to sound stupid but it's usually the result of a traumatic experience. So if you're medication doesn't work you could try EMDR it realy helps!!


I physically feel an ache in my chest and a burning in the pit of my stomach, accompanied by nausea. I feel jittery (probably from lack of sleep.) I haven't been sleeping well, infact from friday night to last night Ive only had 2 hours of sleep. I'm having a bit of a nervous breakdown do to, having to explain to a unknown person on the bus about what gender I am and in their words, "why I go to extreme lengths to make it difficult to read." That bothered me the most, then I was called out to be a liar and mentally ill, as well as homosexual. Which are in no way remotely tied to the reasons I dress androgynous. I accept the fact that God made me as the sex he intended to. Is it so wrong to want to view myself as either male or female? I just feel like I'm the child that was caught playing with the wrong gender inrolled toy, and yelled at to reinforce the roles I need to take up on as being born of that gender. Now I don't want to leave my home. I feel like all eyes are on me, and like they all for some reason are either 1 disgusted or 2 dissaprove. Please, any "possitive" advice welcomed. I feel pretty jaded from everything, and it seems like I just worked up the courage to feel comfortable in my own skin and finally be able to dress how I want, but now in a fracture of a second it just all seized to exist...

Your pain is just a result of your stress. I know this because I have it as well. I may be in a different situation but my pains are the same. So I'll tell you the things I do and hope they''ll help you too:

1.Go to a positive environment.

2.Talk about it with someone you trust.

3.Cry(when you do someone should be near you otherwise you'll just get extra sad).


(If you're angry too:

1.Smash it out (I know this sounds ridiculous but it works)

2.Talk about it.

3.Shout insults at who you're angry at.)

I hope this will help you!!

And know this after rain comes sunshine,so everything will be alright!
