Psychological issue?
14/f
This will probably sound weird, but I have this really odd paranoia problem where I go into these modes where it's like I'm reliving a situation I had in the past with another person. It's like being there, like just now I was reliving an embarassing time I had when I was 13, only this really scares me and I have to like breathe really deeply and assure myself that I'm not really there.
Another part of this is how I sort of talk to myself a lot, only I'm not really talking, just mouthing what I would say if I were really talking. And it's always like I'm back in a situation that I was in before, such as a random conversation I had. And I can even feel people looking at me, like I feel like a bunch of people are staring at me even if I'm completely alone.
I've been this way for over a year, and I don't see why. What is wrong with me?

I have the same problem. Seeing a therapist is a really really good idea. I'm not, because it would bring a whole bunch of bad things that the parents wouldn't approve of, but if there wouldn't be angry parent rampage, you should.
Personally, I think its diagnosed as "post traumatic stress syndrome". they have medication to help.
*huggles* email me and tell me what you found out!! TsnowCwhiteH@hotmail.com

It sounds to me like you were really traumatized by that experience. The difficulty breathing and the anxiousness that you feel, are a clue to me. And while you may be OK now, safe I mean, or whatever. You may not be sure 100% that you might not find yourself in that same situation again. Because it remains unresolved. This is PTSD Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I think the reason you talk to yourself about it, is because you re-live the situation and try to make it have a different outcome. One where you are not harmed. Where it turns out OK.
While time can make things better, here are some things you can try.
1. Tell yourself that the whole incident was not your fault. You didn't do anything to invite it, and you most certainly would have stopped it from happening, or made it have a different outcome if you could.
2. While you may have been very embarrassed. How do you think the other people involved felt at the time. Were they concerned about you. Did they tell you no need to be embarrassed. Have they forgotten about the whole thing by now, long before you have been able too.
3. Are you the only person who is still dwelling on this incicent? (and if violence was involved or trauma then I can see why, and that is normal.)
Can the steps you are taking, 1) reliving the situation, and talking yourself into a different outcome....really work to change things? I think not, so you have to find another way. Therapy may be an answer, if you can bring yourself to tell someone else of the incident, and hear from them, that it is all in the past, and you can stop re-living it now.
If the incident involved violence, trauma, or some sort of injury against you. You may need to speak to authorities, and resolve this matter through the law, in order for it to go away. But I know you are young and this can be very hard too. I you want to give me a little more information, even in a private question, maybe I can help further.

I don't think this is much of a psychological issue. I mean, it is a strange behavior but what if it's juts a phase, you know? You might just get over this! :) Being paranoid and going back to a memory you had a long time ago is actually.. perfectly normal! It isn't bad to go back to memories, even the bad ones. The horrible ones that make you feel sooo bad. I know, because I often look back and realize why I think of it when all it does is hurt me. I just think, you have to focus on the present, of what's happening now. Just focus. Follow your instincts and it'll guide you to something new. Remember, this is really natural! I hope my advice helps. Take care <3 I'm sorry if it didn't but I tried, haha.
