Am I going insane?!


Question:

Am I going insane?

I've been thinking really deeply the past week or so about the nature of reality and so forth, and my consciousness. Is it possible for me to become crazy from this? I think I might have Dissociative Disorder or something. It's like I'm overwhelmed by reality, and I can't focus much on anything, and nothing seems real to me. I have waves of reality, too, but it slips away. I find myself forgetting things on a regular basis and I'm not sure if it's getting better or worse. Am I just thinking too much? Or should I get professional psychiatric help? I'm a 16 year old male. No one around me seems to notice anything different about me, and I'm doing all physical activities fine. Just the mental ones, such as chess or something else seem to be worse. I used to be/still am obsessive compulsive about certain things such as actions I chose to take. Things seem foreign to me now, like I'm living outside my body. Will I just have to cope with this and get through it? Psychiatric help? Thanks alot

I have tried marijuana three times, but that was over a month ago. I would describe the feeling I'm having as the feeling I had when I was high on weed. But it comes in waves and I think it's getting better, but I'm not sure if I'm just getting used to it.


Answers:

It seems to me that you're thinking a lot and have a lot on your mind. You seem to be dwelling on philosophical aspects of your "being" and may be just going through a phase of "awareness" (if that makes any sense). I have had the same sort of experience and am sure many others have as well. I think you're just seeing things from a new perspective and it seems strange to you. You'll be fine. Hehe, just don't dwell on your own thoughts too long or you might just lose touch with the outside world. I wish you well.
