Ive seemed to lost my emotions,my feelings,advice anyone?
Hi,ummm idk where to start but jsut like me there are others who have this "problem".I noticed that i may have a problem.i am actually really young to experience this,or from what i heard,i am 14 years old.i relized that i walk around my house not really noticing or giving a hoot about what im doing,i realized that i look back at my life in 6th and 7th grade because my life was awesome,and i was a cool girl,i look back at these memories almost everyday,i am a freshman now.sorry if reading this is confusing because im jumping from thing to thing.on the outside i make myself look NORMAL and a likeable person but on the inside i feel ABNORMAL.i want to oh oh so bad want to care but its like i lost my feelings and emotions like in the beginning/middle of last year.I broke down on the inside.I've also noticed that im lacking from many things such as ; getting bad grades in school,not focusing (tending to daydream about my once-had memories) , not really caring about my friends,and frankly i think i dont even care as much for my family either,I know this sounds as cold,and heartless as it seems but thats just the way i turned into,I NEED HELP!! i want to be the normal me like used to be,I Beleieve I Can Change. i looked up many things on this subject and came to symptoms of ; lonelyness, social axiety disorder,and bipolar disorder. reading this information clearly shocked me,i dont want to believe it but maybe i do have one of these problems? i told my mom about this,breaking down in front of her,she told me that im just scaring myself into thinking this stuff is happeneing to me and i should be grounded off the internet for putting this crap into my head,but i think its more then that..its serious to me,im not Myself, Im tired of acting like this,its almost like im a robot,no feelings/emotions/wat so ever.

Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
There are lots of reasons to experience emotional deadening or flattening. Some of them are medical - poor diet, lots of stress, life changes or even boredom ormalaise and other causes can be mental health related.
Don't flip out. This could be a normal, natural stage of life for you. You are at an age where your values and interests are shifting, and yeah, you’re a bit at a loss right now. It feels like a crisis, but it’s probably not a crisis.
Your mom has a point: The internet 'research' has scarred you to a degree that is irrational. You aren't a robot. You aren't crazy. You are experiencing something new and a bit unpleasant: You are aware of it, and you are worried by it. If you didn't recognize the difference or weren't upset at all by it - then there might be a serious problem. But you are behaving exactly like a rational, mentally healthy person with a concern.
Stop trying to diagnose yourself online. It doesn’t work like that. Everyone will present some of the symptoms of many mental health issues at some point in their lives – that doesn’t mean they have a mental disorder – it means they are human and for a short period of time some of the symptoms were present in small ways. Being depressed, doesn’t equal depression. More often being depressed is a rational response to situations, and will pass in time. Being moody, doesn’t equal bi-polar disorder. More often being moody means you need take better care of your body or make other changes. Being emotional flat, doesn’t equal sociopathy. More often it’s just being overwhelmed and at a loss with our changing lives.
In your life, you are going to change. The way the human brain works makes the past look and feel better than the present. That’s normal.
If you are concerned about your mood and your emotional well-being, the best thing you can do right now is take care of yourself. Cut the caffeine and junk food. Start getting moderate exercise. Turn off video games and social media and take a damn walk. Don’t over sleep, or sleep to little. Take stock of how you treat your body, and give it the helping hand it needs to keep your energized and positive. You are coming to that age where you start to realize you can’t just give your body crap and expect it to function well.
You could also try speaking to a counsellor or trusted teacher at school. They might have some advice from watching many kids go through these sorts of struggles – and as much as you might hate to hear it – this really is a normal, natural short of struggle that a lot of people go through.
You are absolutely right that you can change your behaviour. Starting with taking care of yourself, and maybe counselling or therapy will help you. But the internet diagnosing will NOT help you. Stop that. You don’t need a silly, inaccurate label in order to start making some changes that help you feel better.
