What's going on with me? Is it Bipolar, Depression, or just the 'Blues&#!
Question: What's going on with me!? Is it Bipolar, Depression, or just the 'Blues'!?
I'll try to make this as condensed as possible, but sometimes, like tonight, I just can't concentrate at all!.
My mind feels distorted like scrambled eggs and sometimes I honestly feel like I'm going crazy!.
I am a constant straight "A" student yet at times I find myself unable to do my homework and it is very difficult to focus on anything!. I feel as if my mind is trying to ride a bike with no chain and I feel exausted yet at the same time like I am going nowhere!.
Also, whenever I'm around friends I can't seem to talk to them!. My mind feels dull and blank and I feel emotionless!. Whenever I get an e-mail from a good friend or something I don't even open it partly because I'm afraid I won't know what to say and it seems better just to avoid them!.
My mind feels like it's going 1,000 miles per hour and I feel like I'm trying to think of everything at once!. Also, I'm always worried about what to do and I can never relax on the weekends because I always feel I should be doing something else, something better than reading a book or playing on the computer, or anything else I enjoy!.
The frustrating part is that sometimes I feel "normal" and I am able to talk with friends!. I feel energetic, social, and can do homework with easier!. All this worry and pre-occupation with myself seems silly and it feels like life will get better again!. Occationally I feel great for a week or two and nothing seems to be wrong!.
However, I always seem to come back to this deranged feeling of confusion!. I've honestly tried to think positive and tell myself I'm making this all up but it never really works!. I can never really get past this "problem" and it feels like I am thinking of something but I don't know what it is!.
I don't know when this started, possibly when I moved to a new state nearly 2 years ago, but I know I need some help!. I want to tell my parents, but I'm afraid my dad will say something like "Oh you'll be fine, you're not depressed!." I have some good friends but I'm not sure they will be able to help me!.
If You'd read this far then you are seriously amazing!. Thanks for listening, any advice is appreciated!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've been there, sometimes life just gets too complicated and you have to slow down!.!.!. I would work so hard and go and go and then I'd crash, I wouldn't go out, wouldn't attend games, wouldn't do much of anything!.!.!.
this is how it was explained to me!.!.!. lack of sleep, stress, and pressure can make you start feeling like your crazy, get more sleep, relax a bit, and just kick back take a few days off and you'll be fine!.!.!.!.
I can't take breaks I have a two year old, and I'm a full time college student!.!.!. don't go well together!.!.!. there's no breaks! Go to the doctor though, tell your parents you aren't feeling well one day and see what your doctor says, they gave me sleep aids, if you have the opportunity Ambien is amazing, I just can't take it cuz I sleepwalk and get naked hahaWww@Answer-Health@Com

You sound like a normal teen, but you could have a touch of depression!. If it bothers you that much it wouldn't hurt to try counseling - no need to diagnose anything - just talk to someone and find out what coping methods can help you through best!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I feel your pain!. I'm a straight A student to and I can't seem to focus in school anymore!. And I understand everything else your talking about I feel the same way!. I think it's just being in the "blues"Www@Answer-Health@Com
I can't tell if this is psychological or neurological - but it seems a bit more than "normal" teenage angst to me!. Can you talk to a doc about this when you go in for something else!?!?!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Dude Honestly I think I'm Bipolar!. lol really i snap at everything and i change moods so quickly and i seriously o psycho on people!. Just thought I'd share to make any people's lives either!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
surely sounds exactly like what my ex boyfriend went through!. He was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder!. He was prescribed medicine!.
If you can't afford to go to the doctor, try tanning!. Something about the sun helps bi-polars or so his doctor said!.
Getting exercise will also help!.
but the number one thing to do would be to be see a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Honestly I feel like it is none of the above, I think your just a regular person going through kind of regular stuff, you said that when you aren't having those feelings your normal so it not depression, and it's also not bipolar because there's almost never a "normal" you are either manic-really happy/hyper/etc or depressed-saddened, emotionless, apathetic, often suicidal!.!.!.!. So I wouldn't be too worried unless it starts affecting your life and relationships seriously or the feelings of confusion/apathy etc begin to become more permanent, in which case it might be an odd type of apathetic depression!.!.!.!. other than that just watch out for those signs, but don't make yourself too paranoid with it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I on occasion feel that way too!. Like, I sometimes get depressed over stupid things like how I talked to a friend earlier or I dwell on the dumb things I said!. Very very small things that no one will ever remember yet I dwell on them sometimes and get depressed about the tiniest of things!. When I am depressed like that I know I am incredibly quiet around my friends and it feels sort of awkward but I end up getting over it!. Though for me, I usually just get that way for a few days maximum and then I am back to my normal, sociable self!.
You could have ADHD though I doubt it!. For a long time I was actually depressed and I would get incredibly emotional!. I got over that through time and being active and just hanging out with friends a lot more often!. Maybe if you grew your relationship with your friends you would have a better experience of life in general!. I am just rambling, hope this helps though! =D
