Am I going crazy? Why?

Question

Ok I'm a HS student and I'm top of my grade and everything but lately like 4-5 weeks ago I think life feels very vague and dreamy to me and I don't think I'm depressed because I don't FEEL sad, I just feel really dream like and evrythings like, half-real, like, what's the point of doing something, because after you do it you're back to the same old spot. I get spurts of huge "couldn't be bothered" attitude at times and find it hard to focus. I had this before at the end of last year as well and I told my Mum kinda and she didn't really say anything but after that I sort of forgot about it, and it's started again like 4-5weeks ago, and it's kinda scary and everything feels kinda pointless and half real, and everything's going by so fast, and my life feels sort of wasted. I dunno, I haven't told anyone cause it's kinda hard to explain and even if I tried I don't think it'd make sense. Am I normal? I don't know how the heck I'll be able to get by the year.

Answer 1

It seems as though you might be experiencing depersonalization, or feelings of unreality.

You might want to speak with a psychologist.  

Answer 2

I agree with the person who mentioned depersonalization. Please see a psychiatrist and tell her or him what you've told us.

Best of luck to you.

Answer 3

Go to see your primary care physician to rule out physical causes of your very real symptoms (fatigue, loss of concentration, dissociation, loss of interest, possible flat affect and annhedonia).  It could be anything from low iron, a mineral deficiency, or thyroid problems.  Once physical issues are ruled out, ask your doctor (if she/he does not suggest it themselves) for a referral for a psychiatric evaluation and therapy.  There are several disorders that fit your symptoms.  Instead of suffering, go and find out if you have a physical or mental disorder, and get treatment.  Good Health To You!

Answer 4

You will be able to get by.  However, this does sound like the beginning of mild depression or anxiety.  That's how I feel on a bad day, before someone provokes me into feeling truly depressed.

Answer 5

I know you say you aren't depressed but it sounds to me like maybe you are a little even if you don't realize it. Maybe go see your doctor just to be on the safe side. Hope things get sorted out soon.

Answer 6

ACTUALLY YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE CRAZY BUT YOU ARE STRESS.WHAT YOU GOING TO DO IS YOU NEED TO CONFRONT WHICH YOUR STRESS.HOW TO CONFRONT YOUR STRESS FIRSTLY,YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN AND THING ABOUT SOMETHING MAKE YOU HAPPY.OK.

Answer 7

although you don't feel sad, i think it might still be depression (probably stress-related), which often manifests with a 'can't be bothered' attitude. Alternatively, you might have low levels of some chemical or another which makes you have less energy, and it only becomes obvious around the end of year/exams where stress builds up.

That said, im not a professional, and if you're concerned, you should see a doctor.

Answer 8

Your normal as far as normal goes but what is really normal. If as you say you are at the top of your grade and its not very hard for you to be, your probably just bored because there's not allot of challenge for you. Try to challenge yourself with new things to see if this helps. The dreamy surreal feeling you are getting is your brain being bored because it needs to be pushed on occasion. Otherwise it stagnates and gets bored.

So what part of England are you from?  

Answer 9

Everybody, has a spectrum that they continuously go up and down on.

However it only become an issue when these ups and downs become more extreme and more frequent.

I suffer from mile bi polar disorder called cyclothmia.  Do a bit of research, and if you feel that you are showing signs, then go to your doctor. Who then in turn will listen to what you have to say and may refer you to a Psychiatric.

You didnt mention your age? What i will say is, if you are indeed a teenager, it may be just your hormones going mad as they do.  

Answer 10

it might be due to puberty...?

Answer 11

ok idk wtf so many people post questions saying "am i crazy" thats really offensive to me i dont like feeling like im crazy it just sounds rude. and no your not crazy your a typical high school student.  

Answer 12

You talk to a psychiatrist, they help, that maybe you get some problem really that seems affecting your thing on that.

Answer 13

maybe it's just some anxiety and stress...sometimes stress can be overwhelming and could put you in a lifeless or restless state....

Answer 14

to be depressed is not always to be sad this is a wrong idea for common people..... what you have is a kind of depression you should see a doctor before it will be worst.
