Mental Illness
I know everyone has crazy thoughts... but mine are a bit strange. Like "overly crazy" and need the appropriate attention and medication
So here's the deal:
Ever since I was a little girl (I'm 13/f now), I would come up with these weird thoughts that if I did something that looked cool and I wanted to do it again, it wouldn't look cool if I did it again. I don't think that way anymore. But now I think even worse thoughts. As years grew by this thinking has become worse.
Sometimes when I'm up high on like a deck over a hotel looking at the view, I feel like I'm going to lose control and jump off. But then it got even worse. And this is what really scares me. I sleepwalk, so I feel like I'm going to harm someone in my sleep... and it really disturbs me. My brother annoys me a lot and sometimes the rest of my family does to, (because I'm on the computer all day could be why I'm so annoyed because it puts you in a bad mood. But I never used to be I don't think.) and I feel like once I'm older that I'm going to be one of those people with a mental illness that's going to kill somebody because of it.
Also, I think I have O.C.D. (Obsessive Compulsize Disorder) because when I'm on the neopets boards I'll keep looking up to make sure I'm on the right topic, or it's the right username etc. etc. I'm not sure if I'm just anxious or what!
I may also have A.D.D.
So those things may be connected.
I am also going through a minor depression that is becoming more mild, less and less ever since I talked about it with my mom... which is good but may have something to do with it.
Does any of what I've described seem like a disease/illness? Could you send me a link or something or explain what type of mental problem this could be? I'm scared to know the truth... but the later I find out, the worse.
THANK YOU for your time, and thank you for reading this because it was so long.

Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
It sounds to me like you have OCD.
I also have the "pretend to talk to someone through my mind" thing, and the "as if someone could hear my thoughts".
Mental illnesses are mostly all connected, and, if you have one, you're likely to have more, which really sucks...
Hope this helps! :)

All of this sounds normal. Every single healthy person on the planet has slight obsessional tendencies - we've all got our quirks, habits, and freaky little things. And it's okay.
What ISN'T okay is when you are so worried about your mental health that it starts to have an effect on your life. If you are this concerned, an option for you might be to speak to a counsellor. She/he will be able to listen to your objectively and supportively, and this may make you feel better.
Generally, healthy people do go through periods where they worry they are crazy - or could become crazy. This is actually a sign of health. If you were truly in the throes of illness, you probably wouldn't recognise it or want to change your behaviours.

Most people who have a mental illness dont think they are mentall ill. Definately have a talk with your mom and tell her how you feel- hopefully you are close enough with her to be able to do so. Say that you would like to see a doctor to help find what is the problem and why it is happening.

It doesn't sound like you have mental problems. Everyone gets depressed, don't worry about it. It's not unusual to have the urge to jump off a building. What would be unusual is if you started acting on this urge. You probably don't have OCD, and it's good to verify you're posting on the correct board.
Avoid medicine and psychiatrists if you can. Medicines are bad for you. Psychiatrists may convince you you have illnesses you don't, whether my accident or to make more money.
While you certainly shouldn't take it's results too seriously, you might like this test:

hey, well i personally think that you should convince your parents to take you to the doctors and have them diagnose you. they will be able to help you and give you proper medication before something bad happens. us advicenators or google could diagnose you with the wrong thing and then you could get the wrong type of help. doctors know best.
