Am i insane? PLZ ANSWER BEST ANSWER GETS 10 POINTS!! mature people only?!


Question: Am i insane!? PLZ ANSWER BEST ANSWER GETS 10 POINTS!! mature people only!?
Since 5th grade (I am in 11th grade now) I have had a very powerful imagination but the problem is it has become almost uncontrollable!. Since the 10th grade i have been unconsciously falling into deep & powerful day dreams that my body would (unawaringly to me) twitch or suddenly move in response to the stimulation in my head!. My imagination had me dreaming all types of different worlds & creating storylines!. The pro of this was evident in my school work; i was able to come up with intelligent answers & construct captivating essays!. Kids in my class have noticed the blank look on my face during lessons & the unusual body jerking!. Resulting in me being watched by a number of wary kids during classes & others calling me a "freak" behind my back!. Can some1 please tell me whats wrong with me or direct me to a forum that specializes in disorders!? I'm left handed, good at drawing & love trance music as i find it euphoric!. This fantasy world iv create is addictive!. Am i crazy or is this norm!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Sounds like daytime parahypnagogia or dissociative identity disorderWww@Answer-Health@Com

The fact that your able to enter a catatonic state on your own is pretty amazing!. I would say there is nothing wrong with it I would just try and not get so"into" it in public places if you could!. It's like anything else if it's different most people will have crap to say about it!. But being able to enter that realm is pretty amazing, millions of people need drugs and/or alcohol to "leave the real world" for a bit!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well iv never heard of it but what you described sounds like you canbe really succesful because even in the description you gave above i got drawn to it!.

dont worry and just carry on and if you can try and control it in class so you dont get taken the micky out of because you can always imagine at home BUT if you cant control it than you cant what can you do!?

make sure you use what you have to your advantage, you can write or something because its like you are actually experincing things so the description will be an actual experince rather than descrptpive writtingWww@Answer-Health@Com

You seems to have a strong level of imaginations , and nothing wrong with this , but the abnormal movements of the face are worry some , they might be either seizure disorder , or what they call ( Torette syndrome ) , they also can be simple benign movements , but you should see a neurologist and psychiatrist for evaluation !. Good luck, and do not worry you seems to be an inelegant person , and any of the above mentioned problems is fixable!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am also left-handed and love drawing and trance but wish my imagination was that vivid! I agree that you are lucky and should put that imagination to work with writing or art! If you truly cannot control it, then perhaps you should talk to a doctor (like a neurologist), but beware of psychiatrists who just like to prescribe drugs for anything!. Many famous artists were probably called "freaks"!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

look i know of a kid (whos younger then you) who has a similar issue!. it isnt uncommon and you are NOT crazy and kids are kids and they will make fun!.!.!.what you need to do is go to a neurologist and have an examination!. the doctor will either say its normal and theres nothing to do just try to avoid spacing out into those day dreams or they might be able to solve the issue!. but don't worry you are NOT insane!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

haha, dont worry, i know uve asked for mature answers but no u are definatelly not crazy!. I had the same twitching problems and day fantasies when i was in 9th grade, so I went to my counselor!.!.!.
its something natural that happens at some point to all of us,
our brain starts wanting to know more, feel more, do more, and for some reason twitch mroe heheWww@Answer-Health@Com

not an expert or anything
but it seems like you just have an overactive imagination!. it's perfectly normal to twitch in your sleep, people do it sometimes and my dog does it like every day :] even though you get good grades, maybe you should focus more on school so you don't get made fun of!.
good luck

I would say this is pretty normal!
It's just because you an artistic person and so you have a wider imagination, almost every one has some kind of little craziness about them but other people just don't notice that;)

So as long as it doesn't bother you, there is nothing bad about it :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Go see your doctor AND a therapist or counselor!. No one here can give you an answer no matter how many times you post this, and you keep posting the same thing over and over and over and over again!. That is not something most ppl do!. You need help!. A therapist can help you figure out what type of help that is!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

although you might not feel depressed,
you may have manic depression,
manic depression is were you go in and out of phases e!.g you think your famous etc!.
i recomend seeing a doctor,
or i mean you could just have somthing wrong with your nerves, making your muscles react!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

okay!.!.!.i also create storylines in my head, but i dont twitch or ne thing like that!.!.!.i mean!.!.!.i dont think your crazy!.!.but if u think u have something wrong with you, then u can go to a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

go see a doctor!.!. I dont know what goes through the head of an epileptic but it the twitching and absent mind sounds very much like epilepsy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I agree with the first poster!. I'm epileptic and my condition is almost identical to yours!. High level of imagination from a young age, love and am good at artistic media, and yes I write fiction frequently!. Black outs and twitches also!. I also had a few you didn't mention, like mood swings and panic attacks without triggers (both of which only came out in late teens)!.

It was six years after the 'fits' first started happening (I had a very strong imagination long before that happened) before I finally went to see a doctor!. I explained what happened to me and he said straight away: epilepsy!. A heap of scans later a neurologist said the same and put me on meds!. I don't take them though since with the negative symptoms went the positive!. I couldn't write anymore and things just didn't have the same!.!.!.flavour!? as they used to!. It felt like a big portion of my brain had left the table!.

But in my case it's not enough to have a large impact on my life and I don't care about other people!. If you're blacking out all the time or the negatives outweight the positives, then you probably should get on the meds!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No you are not insane or crazy!.

You should consult a mental health professional as soon as possible!. Many people have this issue, and some of the most noted of them were/are very famous painters, musicians, and authors!. Unfortunately, they did not know how to control or treat it when it interfered with their daily lives and they resorted to self medication with alcohol or other substances!. This is NOT to say that this WILL happen to YOU, but as you get older you NEED to develop coping and control skills!. And a psychologist can aid you in that!. Many highly creative people 'suffer' (for lack of a better word) from this, not that it is suffering!. It's a unique gift that you need to figure out how to co-exist with!.

If you look at creative people: Van Gogh, Hemingway!.!.!.!.they all suffered from superior creative skills but the cost was drug abuse, alcoholism, etc to 'slow the engine' down so they could function in other ways!.!.!.!.

Talk to your parents and have them get you an appointment with a good mental health professional!. They need to be with you for most of the process but the sooner you start to 'take control' of it, the better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think you're not crazy at all, and extremly lucky!. I have a good imagination too, but my day dreams aren't as strong as yours!. You could grow up to write an amazing book or be an amazing artist because of the thoughts you come up with!. Be happy you have this gift!. I'm sure not everyone thinks you're a freak!. I'd be your friends =] [im in 11th grade too]Www@Answer-Health@Com
