Am I suffering from a psychological problem?

Question

Here are a few things I have noticed which have led me to believe I may be:

1. I have problems with sleep; in waking up from sleep in particular I experience severe 'head-bursting' as I call it when I try to wake up. I cant sleep fully; I feel many a times like I havent had sufficient sleep...most of times I feel like that

2. I cant concentrate enough and am absent-minded; Sometimes when I listen to people talking to me I feel like they are really fast and I cant quite comprehend what they are saying, they have to repeat what they say. I don't seem to remember where I have kept my things, I have organization issues and I cant read properly many times. The problem with reading is similar to when I am talking to people, at times I read too many words just to find my eyes have mechanically moved and then I reread most of the times, like I am mechanically nodding my head in a face-to-face conversation just to ask the person to repeat himself.

3. I have noticed during work or other times also I am not able to 'dirty my hands' as I call it. I am not able to get into any problem whole and soul, it would seem I am too conscious to delve into it.

Am I really suffering from some psychological problem?

Answer 1

Off hand, I'd say you are sleep deprived.  All of your symptoms are common when there is a lack of sleep or sleep disturbances.  

That being said, you are becoming concerned.  Therefore, go see your doc and talk to him/her.  You'll get a physical and a definitive answer.  

It's not necessarily a psychological problem.  

Answer 2

reason 3 is irrelevant, but 2 seems like a reaction from 1. u could be having lack of sleep for an endless number of reasons. stress, depressed, diet, exercise, lack of exercise, internal issues, external, wutever. i suffer depression that causes me to have several nights of open eyes. Nyquil helps and so does xanax for me. Lunesta did not do very much for me. Good luck!

Answer 3

it could possibly be that, but then again it may not be.

the best thing for you to do is to speak with your doctor. they can diagnose you, if there is even something wrong, and prescribe you something to control you sleeping problems and drifting mind.

my prayers are with you!

Answer 4

Sound like lack of sleep.  Do some research and maybe see a doctor.

Answer 5

I am suffering from the exact same problems that you are facing.

I have something to add to it. I have trouble sleeping some times as I hear/feel music which I have repeatedly heard from before, playing in my mind. I don't exactly know how it gets triggered but I can say that they are songs and music which I might have heard repeatedly right from a very young age. Don't know whether its a psychological disorder or something else. But the thing is its worrying me at times even more so because I am very young and two years into a career.

I think with your help I may be able to cure myself and get this thing off my head and concentrate on better things in life. Please reply if you think this helps or we can help each other.

Answer 6

Best to see your Doctor in this case. Ask about a possible Anemia.. hows your diet (Iron-Vitamin C)?  exercise? drinking enough water?  An anemic condition can present with many of the symptoms you have mentioned. Do you have any intraoral soreness? (sore mouth/tongue or dry mouth).  I hope you work it out soon. best of luck.

Blood glucose test could be worth a look (diabetes is VERY common) but usually you are tired and lethargic so you're difficulty sleeping doesn't fit.
