AH. Extremely paranoid teen. need help. pahweeeze?

Question

Like any other 13 year old, i stay up late, normally on the Internet from anywhere to 1:30 to 3:45 at the latest.

I live with my mom and my little brother most of the time and they always fall asleep from 10-12.

Okay, anyways. When i do go to bed, I check check check all exits/entrances and shut any windows, pull the blinds, etc.

After my safety inspection, I go into my room. I look under the bed, and then I'm so afraid to look in my closet.

I imagine and analyze if anything could be in there, rationally, i know not, but I'm still afraid to check. Quite literally, i take an iron horse-shoe and take deep breathes, open the door and shut it. Then i check under the bed one more time and then eventually get into bed. By that time, I have the T.V on, bathroom and hallway light on AND a giant Lava Lamp.

It's not just during bed, either. I'm literally afraid to shower, i keep the curtain open a bit on both ends, and I stick my head out every now and then and check the door. Whenever I go to the bathroom, I open the curtains and check the shower.

Even just thinking about all this, I get a feeling in my gut, like, someones watching me, and i feel like a crazed crack head.

i really hate the anxiety and it's so embarrassing!

Is it diagnosable or treatable, whatever i have?

Answer 1

wow, seeing a doctor would be best for you.

Answer 2

Could be the caffeine and sugar. Also too many carbs being converted into sugar. Consult a dietitian at your school and run over the food you eat to rule this out.

Answer 3

You're filled with anxiety.  This is common.  It could also be a touch of obsessive-compulsive disorder which also falls under the anxiety category.  

Do not fear.  It can be treated quite readily.  Go talk to your family doc.  He/she will treat you or refer you to a doc who can.  

Don't suffer needlessly.  Like I said before, this can be remedied.  There are meds especially aimed at this condition which are successful.  Go to that doc!
