Im 15 Years old, and for the past month or something i have been feeling really "out of it" for some reason. I mean there have been some stressful things going on like a couple of my friends have recently started cutting. I'm helping them out. but I'v just felt like I'm floating along, It's weird. I keep changing my mind on alot of things and I get really complicated thoughts about everything like how it will affect everything, even simple things. I get really confused easily. My bf and I had an argument and afterwards I asked him if he thought anything was wrong with me, He said he thought there was, but i dont know what is. Im really confused and i don't like feeling out of it. :(

Is there something really on your mind? If there is then whatever is making you feel out of it you need to solve or take time to think about it. Maybe there isn't anothe happening in your life or maybe you feel a bit down from time to time because your not getting what you want out of life which can result in feeling out of it. I don't know how you feel, so I think you have a problem and you need to clear it out. What could possibly be the problem? Whats on your mind thats making you feel out of it? What is happening? If you can answer those questions then your half way there through solving the problem. Think about it carefully and make a decision. Daniel. [ jumadel's advice column | Ask jumadel A Question ]

Your trama is that your friends are hurting themselves and you're helping them. MY trama is that my mom passed away and I've been pushing aside all emotions, which led me to complicated thinking, just like you. At some points I got so low that I began to think I was nothing, worthless and stupid. I've been really hard on myself for the past few months and it's really ruined who I am as a person. I would always help other people before I helped myself, which is bad. Before your problem gets out of hand, I'm telling you these few things that I want you to think LONG and hard about. YOU need time for yourself. You have to set priorities. YOU are always first. So if you have problems you need to deal with that are about you, deal with those first. You have to be able to help yourself before you help others. Try not to over analyze every little thing. That's something that I do and it just leads me to think the worst things of all situations. Just think about things, and let your brain relax a little, don't think negatively either. Since you're feeling "out of it", try switching your routine a little. Change your diet, maybe. Eat healthier and try getting more sleep, it should help you get back into the swing of things. I'm not sure if I helped or not, but my dear, if you need anything, ANYTHING at all, email me at: amandaaccount@hotmail.com
i'll always be here to listen to you, because I know sort of what you're going through. <333
lulabelle answered Sunday July 2 2006, 1:19 pm: It sounds to me like you are suffering from a condition called "disassociation". It happens to people who experience trauma and it sounds to me like that is exactly what you've been experiencing w/your friends. This is a lot for you to take on at your age. Your friends need professional help and for now, so do you. Please tell your parents what is going on so that they can help direct you. It's not a bad thing to let an adult know what is going on w/a friend when a friend is doing something that is very harmful and destructive to themselves. Keep in mind, their behavior is also affecting you. That's why you are disassociating. I've included some websites that explain the condition and I hope you will seek counseling. What you have had to endure is enough to affect anyone adversely. You are 15 years old and this is the time in your life that you deserve to experience fun, parties, joy, and happiness. I wish you the best of luck in all of this and my thoughts and prayers will be with you.
