mental illness?


Question Posted Wednesday September 12 2007, 8:13 pm

15/f

I have some really strange things that I do.
I'm constantly talking to myself (but not really talking out loud, just sort of just mouthing what i would say if i were talking to another person.)
And If I've just walked away from having a convo with someone, I keep repeating what i've said to myself for like 20 minutes after.
I can't focus on ANYTHING no matter how hard I try and I'm always oblivious to everything.
I always isolate myself in social situations because it's the only thing I feel safe doing. I never say anything to anyone because I know that they won't want to talk to me.
I feel like people are watching me when I'm alone and I worry that people can hear my thoughts. I know that's irrational but it doesn't make it go away.
I'm also in some kind of negative mood all the time- be it sad, mad, upset, lonely, etc. I never feel happy and when I smile it's fake unless I'm laughing at something.
I'm always horny and I can't stop my sexual behavior even in public.


so just tell me what you think is wrong. am I schitzophrenic? (sp?)

You may be a Sociopath. I'd see a psychiatrist, babe. You may be 'socially awkward'-its a term, I'm not insulting you in any which way. I really think you should try to get a psych evaluation, it may give you peace of mind. Really only someone like that can officially diagnose you and help you with any further treatment you may have.

Goodluck & hope all goes well.

My best advice would be to talk to a parent or person you trust.
You might want to see a therapist.
You might have a personality disorder, or an anxiety disorder.
From experience, it sounds a lot like social anxiety disorder. But it may not be that extreme.

Talk to someone who can help you directly.

It's not stress. It could be signs of a mental health issue and that shouldn't be taken lightly at all.

What has me concerned is that you think others have the ability to read your thoughts or influence them telepathically. Also if your moods are going from sad, angry, upset, lonely and you are never happy it may be signs of manic depression.

You'll have huge highs and then lows and up/down moods that may be accompanied by delusions. Right now you may be hypomanic which is the non-dangerous side of bipolar disorder and about to have a problem as the reading of thoughts issue would indicate.

The non dangerous side also means people are impulsive and make bad financial and sexual decisions.

You need to see a mental health professional (NOT a family doctor) A.S.A.P. This is a problem where you should visit an emergency room and be assessed.

If you are hearing things, talking to yourself constantly and thinking people can read or influence your thoughts you've got a series medical problem. Don't take it lightly and let a psychiatrist diagnose you.

You might be fine but not based on what you said. You need medical attention regardless. I know, I've been there myself before.

it's called stress. I do the exact same things. it's normal. you have alot on your mind and you need to express it so that is why you will repeat it so it will make you feel right with what you said. I do it and I am alot older than you believe everyone does. you are fine.

You're definitely not schizophrenic. I can't diagnose you, but it sounds like you could have avoidant personality disorder or something like it. You should get evaluated by a doctor just in case. You may not actually have a disorder, a lot of the things that you brought up are actually pretty normal. You could just be shy and stuff. :)
