Answers:

Your story sounds exactly like mine. Only I'm 15 now. I finally told my parents that I thought something was wrong with me and they made an appointment to see a doctor. The doctor said I was bipolar and had adhd. Which I guess was a good diagnosis. Some people think it is over diagnosed for people my age. He put me on medicine and it helps me want to do things whenever I'm in my 'lazy' stages. Which last for months or even years. :/ But I haven't always been this way. I used to be hyper, active and social. Then I didn't 'want' to do anything. I had trouble concentrating on conversations and school work most of the time. And sometimes my thoughts didn't even make much sense. This started happening when I was in 7th and 8th grade. Things like these are genetic. If you have other family members who are like this then you probably have some type of mental 'disease'. (I have family members on both sides who are bipolar)

You should really go to your doctor for confirmation though. . If you have a good psychiatrist then I'm sure they'll help you figure out what's going on and help you find ways to treat it. I don't really like being on medication but it helps sometimes..

I hope you can learn how to deal with everything. It's tough but you'll be able to pull through it.

Just remember that nothing is "WRONG" with you. You are perfectly fine. :)



It sounds like what occurred was puberty. It is not unusual for those reaching puberty to have changes in personality. If those changes have become overwhelming, you made the right decision to see your doctor so he/she can determine if there are other factors going on.
