I think there's something wrong with me?!


Question: I think there's something wrong with me?
Alright, so I'll try to summarize this. Basically, I've been feeling, for about a year, that I'm stuck in a dream. Everything seems so strange and practically like a movie..like nothing's real.

It has gotten to the point my emotions have become foreign to me as have my body parts. Sure, I cry quite a bit, but it's like I'm trying to fill a bottomless void. My brain is telling me to cry, but it's like there's no real emotion there, or rather, I can't genuinely feel anything. Same goes with happiness..I don't remember the feeling of genuine happiness at all.

I could be taking down everything my teacher's saying while being in this permanent zoned out state. But if you asked me to read out the last few words I wrote, I won't really be able to tell you, because it's like I can become two different things and just do two different things at once.

I've had trouble with a voice so to speak in my head. I thought it was my mind rushing through a lot, but then I realized there's definitely a voice making me listen to things and picture scenes I never ever want to hear/see, such as the death of my cats. I literally have to keep yelling stop for it to leave..it is around this point I feel a very little bit of emotion, or rather I don't feel like sitting back and doing nothing, which is exactly why I yell stop.

Anyways, recently I've noticed I've been hearing a few voices such as screams and people calling my name..they've happened only a couple of times and I'm not even sure if they were real or just in my head.

I had a big Maths exam and I thought I had done really well. I even checked my paper..not very carefully, but I did sorta skim through it, but didn't notice any issues. Today I got it back and barely got a C, because for some reason, every value I substituted into the equations were wrong. Instead of 112, I used 120. Instead of writing 750 (Which I had calculated before), I wrote 75 in the second part of the question and messed it up. This pattern went on throughout every page and I just wanted to slap myself wondering what I was even reading at the time. I'm afraid I hallucinated all those different values, because I'm NOT the kind of person who makes mistakes like this, certainly not on EVERY page of the exam (Except the last page).

What's wrong with me? :/

Answers:

You seem to be over analysing everything a bit too much. The voices are a concern. Did anything happen to you over a year ago before all this started? Something that had a huge impact on you, lost a loved one or friend perhaps? bullied? Hurt? Witnesed or experienced something very violent? attacked? Parents divorcing? anything?

It wouldbe wise to speak to your school counsellor, your doctor and your parents. Talking about things to someone who specialises in stress disorders/mental health can help you get control of your emotions again. For your emotions to be distant is to psychotic. Ask to be assessed by a mental health specialist. I hope you get it sorted out. Good Luck



There is something wrong, but it wouldn't be your fault, nor anyone else's. Its nature but you do need help. Like a person with a heart problem needs help, you do too.
Maybe I'm wrong but please see a doctor. Its hard I know, people think your crazy. I've been through it. You'll get through it just like I did.
